Re: Study finds no association between autism and vaccination

It is very easy to indulge in such rhetoric but the voices of those damaged by vaccines and their families should also have a right to be heard.

Moreover, this kind of rhetoric - of which we have had far too much - papers over important issues, such as whether vaccines are as safe as they should be, and how far it is reasonable to expand the programme.

After the last week of bullying, empty rhetoric of this kind in media I am very fed up.
