Vaccination Intimidation February 6, 2009

The Health Protection Agency reports that measles cases are on the rise, largely due to parents being duped by the anti-MMR campaign.
Dr Ben Goldacre, writer of the wonderful Bad Science column and tireless campaigner against the anti-vaccination campaign, is being threatened with legal action by the radio station LBC for having a clip from one of their shows on his blog. It’s the daftest bit of anti-vaccination waffle, in which the presenter, Jeni Barnett, actually encourages a woman who advocates taking unimmunised children to visit people with the diseases.
He’s an ordinary bloke, with not much money, so he’s taken the clip down. You can find it on wikileaks.
