Case studies of resistance to persuasive arguments

People generally tend to change their beliefs in the direction of persuasive arguments based on facts and trusted authorities. However, there are documented cases where beliefs shift in the wrong direction, such as vaccine hesitancy for a specific vaccine and population group. Despite these outliers, there are numerous experiments showing that providing a compelling argument rooted in facts and trusted sources usually leads to a change in people's beliefs, although not always to the extent desired.
