As long as we treat each other respectfully it can be real fun.
Would you please give us your opinion on that story

So NBC twisted numbers.
As the article proceeded to do.
"No response" most likely means "get out of my face, young overeager journalist, I want to get home in time to see my vaccinated kids at the dinner table." Or the maid hung up the phone because she thought the reporter was a telemarketer.
Or not.
Who cares either way?
The media slants the news.
That's news?

The link is to a page saying "NBC news reports: Less than 30% of Congress admits to vaccinating their own kids!" and shows a graphic from NBC about 434 representatives (perhaps there was one vacant seat at the time) being asked "are your kids vaccinated". The results were
7 declined to answer
33 responded "no kids"
121 said they vaccinated their children
273 did not respond
The graphic says "0 responded no". That's correct. The page says "Less than 30% of Congress admits to vaccinating their own kids!" Well that's correct, too, although none said they didn't.
But what if the other 280 representatives all answered yes, would that convince a single anti-vaxxer? And what if they all answered no, would that convince a single pro-vaxxer? Congress votes the way the electorate wants (one hopes), the voters don't copy congress.
What's the general reply rate for such surveys, anyway?

Most DO give vaccines to their children.

It proves that each side tries to interpret the numbers they way they want.

The only interpretation is from the anti vaxxers. We have science and statistics on our side. They tend to use correlations as causative.

That's just more confusing anecdotes with proof.
