Answer:

Backfire effects

Explanation:

The "backfire effect" phrase was first coined by Brendan Nyhan and Jason Reifler in 2010. This phrase explains one's rejection of evidence that contradicts his belief which leads the person to believe even more strongly.

This is seen in the example above where Sharon strongly believes vaccines are poisonous even though Frank had presented evidence to show it is safe.
