What OPB doesn't tell you is that they have to talk to a concerned mom/travel writer because researchers, well-trained physicians and public health experts who support these theories do not exist. Just like email forwards that get Bill Gates to send you a $100 check. Even the researchers who conducted the original hypothesis generating study on MMR and autism have withdrawn their support for their research. Better research exists. See this link on WebMD.

WebMD makes money from advertisers. Not selling vaccines.

I am extremely disappointed by the balance of information in this episode. This is an important topic. Jennifer was allowed to speak for the bulk of this session. Her misinformation is not helpful. She clearly knows very little about the bulk of the research on this topic as well as the characteristics of different vaccines or the associated diseases. I hope that Dr. Baker gets more time for the end of this session
