Hi

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) aired a radio interview with Seth 
Mnookin, who has a book out on the vaccine - autism controversy.  In the part I 
heard, he gave a very reasonable response on some of the claims made and harm 
done by the anti-vaccine group.  The audio is at:

Some of his final points included the false impression given by so-called 
"balanced reporting" on controversial issues, and the importance of having 
reporters who understand science.  I haven't read his book, but it sounds like 
it might be useful on this issue.

Take care
Jim
