Will they play this again? If not, do they put their shows on their website. I do not want to order it.I haven't watched this yet, but intend to. I thought I'd post a link here for anybody who might be interested.

It just ticked me off. Scientists saying that the internet is responsible for people not vaccinating kids, saying that people don't "understand" science. No scientists who have come out against vaccines, like one of the creators of the HPV vaccine. Just a brief discussion of Wakefield and mostly about his study being backed by a lawyer for some people who were injured by the MMR. Nothing about how pharmaceutical companies are funded. Nothing about any additives other than mercury. Mostly I just yelled at the TV.
Mind you, I do vaccinate my daughter, but on an altered schedule so she doesn't get a bunch at once, and so her immune system has time to grow before she gets this or that. Though I opted out of the MMR. Two years ago, you could get them separately. But now, you are forced to get the triple shot.
I would not touch live attenuated vaccines with a barge pole
Oh, I had a bad feeling about this. I was wondering why some of my autism listserves were telling me about this show. I knew it would be one sided where they show "reasonable" scientists discussing how safe vaccines are and how dangerous it is NOT to vaccinate and then angry mothers. When they named the program the Vaccine WAR, that is what they wanted to show. I am so disappointed in Frontline. I would love for them to show how a vaccine is manufactured using monkey and cancerous cell lines. Did they even mention the viruses that snuck in there? Did they mention the study that was just done in Africa were 17.5% of the 2-12 year old children are HIV positive and their mothers are negative? Uggggggh. I am thinking some naughty words but I will refrain.
And I did the rotavirus because what I studied said the illness was worse than the side effects

I trusted you by giving you two or three hours of my time for an interview and multiple background discussions. I expressed my heartfelt reservations about both vaccines and the polarizing of this issue into "pro-vaccine" and "anti-vaccine" camps. I told you that there was at least a third "camp." There are many doctors and even more parents who would like a more judicious approach to immunization. Give vaccines later, slower and with an individualized approach as we do in every other area of medicine.
What did you create instead?
"The Vaccine War."
A war. Not a discussion or a disagreement over facts and opinions, but a war. This show was unintelligent, dangerous and completely lacking in the balance that you promised me -- and your viewers -- when you produced and advertised this piece of biased unscientific journalism. "Tabloid journalism" I believe is the epithet often used. Even a good tabloid journalist could see through the screed you've presented.
Hi Alexia,I got ME two months after a vaccination. I always have had the feeling that that was not by chance. Before that I was very healthy and full of energy.
