“Turtles All the Way Down; Vaccine Science & Myth” is written by “anonymous authors” for the very reason that they attack the person(s) rather than the actual facts. Name calling (crunchy moms) & denigrating ones choices is the laziest way to argue a point - it’s avoiding the point. Even calling these moms “victims” is an underhanded insult. This person can puff herself up in her own head but critical thinking people wont fall for it.
I have read thoroughly about vaccines, diseases and their sordid histories and am convinced that there is no benefit to vaccines and quite a lot of risk. The science is a fraud. Too bad it took the covid scam to have me do this research after I dutifully followed the vax schedule for all four of my children. I counted my youngest’s number of vax received through the age of 17yo & it was 72! I’m not a “crunchy” mom and I don’t have to be a “scientist” to recognize that going from the 3 shots that my 7 siblings & myself had to 70+ chemicals injected in children today needs an explanation that is not “you’re anti-vax”. How about “I’m anti-stupid”?
My guess is that the people who read articles on UnHerd are more emotional "thinkers" rather than critical reasonable thinkers. But, like you said, it's not going to change any minds. That makes her article pretty pointless.
It's all about the echo chambers. I know that when I am around my sort of like-minded people online, they're all anti vaccines in one way or another. But at work, it was like every single person I came in contact with around that time of the year was talking about getting or setting up their flu shot.

The poor children of emotional thinkers!
"They believe people get their flu vaccines. But they are told people are not getting Measles vaccines."
Which is funny that they are so ill-informed: far fewer people get flu shots than measles shots.
