> When addressing a public who largely still links vaccines and autism, they would indeed find it amazing.

If forbes really are addressing those people, it's hardly helpful to describe the fact that vaccines work as "amazing".

It's lending weight to the idea that it's surprising that the vaccine worked.

Even if I was addressing flat-earthers, I still wouldn't call it "amazing" that a round-the-world yacht race ended in the same place that it started.



If Forbes wants them as readers, using the term "Amazing" makes sense. If Forbes wants to educate them, I would agree with you wholeheartedly.
