Debunking vaccination myths: Strong risk negations can increase perceived vaccination risks
Information about risks is often contradictory, especially in the health domain. A vast amount of bizarre information on vaccine-adverse events (VAE) can be found on the Internet; most are posted by antivaccination activists.

The goal of the present work is to find optimal ways of negating risk to decrease risk perceptions.
