End of Zé Gotinha: pediatrician defends new character to combat fake news

We have to create other characters, exactly to reinforce the importance of vaccination, put an end to this fake news, as much as possible, and the characters help a lot with this.
Ana Escobar, pediatrician

In the pediatrician’s view, anti-vaccine defenders will continue to exist, so building solid arguments is another strategy to dismantle possible fake news.

We are not immunized in the world today against fake news. We receive a huge amount of information. What is true of this information? So, who decides what is true or not? To specialists in each area. So, the engineer will say what is true in relation to the engineer, the lawyer in relation to what the law is. And a doctor can say: ‘this is fact, this is not fact’, because it is based on all the truths that generated knowledge.

Obviously, these anti-vaccine campaigns will continue. We have to have solid arguments against these anti-vaccines. So, for example, a baby, as soon as it is born and passes through its mother’s vaginal canal, in a matter of minutes, it is colonized by trillions of bacteria, which will become part of its microbiome. So, we humans are already in contact with millions of bacteria.

So, yes, we are capable of tolerating all these antigens that we receive, even more so when there are several scientific studies proving it.
