Thanks for this. I've added it to the list of pro-vaccination source on my research page, and I'll have a watch soon. It can also be watched in full on YouTube and downloaded directly from the homepage:

I've also noted Gorski's blog post shared by Root Vegetable. When I get some time, I'll go through them both, read the abstracts of any peer-reviewed papers or other credible source documents they refer to, and add links to these to the appropriate claims and counterclaims in my table.

BTW I'm only giving the pro and anti *claims* equal weight, because a sceptical approach treats all claims are equal. What is not equal is the scientific evidence for or against such claims, but this cannot be established by just believing and repeating the propaganda of one side of the other. In the case of climate change, for example, it's easy to see by reading the abstracts of the papers cited by both sides of the debate, that the vast weight of the evidence is in favour of anthropogenic climate change. This does not appear to be the case with every other controversial issue.
