If you prefer a television program, rather than a printed article, try HDNet’s Program: “Vaccines and Autism: Mixed Signals” The program authors make this point: Health officials in the U.S. have consistently denied that there is any link between childhood vaccines and autism. So why is the government quietly doling out big settlements to families who say just such a link harmed their children?
