Jimmy Kimmel Gets Doctors to Tell Anti-Vaxxers What They Should Already Know

Impact

There's no doubt the anti-vaccination movement has impacted — and more than that, harmed — America. Truth and science aren't on anti-vaxxers' side. The movement has become a target for late night hosts, including, as of last week, Jimmy Kimmel.

Who should you be listening to, Kimmel asked of his audience: Facebook posts from friends? Or actual doctors? The answer should be clear. Luckily, Kimmel and his team got a team of doctors together (on their days off, no less), all to tell the audience "to do something we've been doing for a century."

But seriously, how much clearer can you get?
