The lead story on BBC News this morning was the increase in measles cases due to children not being vaccinated.
I remember there were rumours going around when I had my DC in the 1980s that the MMR vaccination caused autism, but they were discredited.
It seems that myths still abound on the internet and this has led many parents to decide against vaccination. How do these rumours get started and spread? Is it maybe a reflection of the current "anti-expert" culture that people just don't trust medical advice any more?
