Frames are often driven by social and cultural factors. Leach says anti-vaxxer frame issues differently than pro-vaxxers: Different political commitments: vaxxers frame in terms of parental concern, rights, choice. Different levels of engagement, definitions, of risk: Anti-vaxxers: individual health and rights, choice, right parental. Different sciences have different relevance levels: (population status).
