I've talked to a few antivaxers in this situation. They're extremely emotionally vulnerable about it: from their perspective, they had just seen proof that their own beloved child was too weak or unfaithful. This is no place for either a fanatic or a parent to be, and now they're both.

I talked to one person who said that she had gotten in touch with a healer. She said he was expensive but was her last hope.

Another was looking into treatments "that doctors don't want you to know about." When I tried to talk to him about the potential dangers, he became aggressive and accused me of being a shill for big pharma.

Both of these interactions made me extremely sad.

I haven't seen any for whom such a crisis turned them away from antivax; it seems to send them further into the arms of grifters and conspiracy theorists. If anyone has seen (or experienced) such a thing, I'd love to hear about it - I like happy stories.
