I think this is generally a sensible policy. Anthony: good post. I'm always surprised quite how much people assume conspiracy rather than just that a lot of people have the opposing viewpoint.

That means investigating why people do not vaccinate. It does not include giving airtime to lunatic fanatic antivaccinatorsspreading falsehoods. I am in favour of responsible reporting.

The BBC investigating why parents don't vaccinate is called honest reporting about events in the real world. If the BBC stop presenting both sides to any debate i will stop paying my licence fee.

Like all our posts, no funding, no outside support. We are sick of the unstoppable flow of wrong-headed and potentially dangerous commentary that passes for expertise and the ridiculous assumptions that underpin antivax rhetoric.
