Summary:
A searing account of how vaccine opponents have used the media to spread their message of panic, despite no scientific evidence to support them.

In this searching exposé, the recent hysteria over childhood vaccinations and their alleged link to autism becomes a cautionary tale of bad science amplified by media sensationalism.
