Vaccines and Autism: Why the Debate Still Rages

The following is a news analysis

This post updates a popular article I published at CBSNews.com in 2007: "Vaccines and autism: Why the debate rages."

Note: This article doesn’t attempt to settle the vaccine-autism debate. It will be a resource for information that's otherwise largely censored or difficult to find in one place. This post begins narrowly and will be updated in the coming weeks as information is added on topics including: court cases, propaganda, and scientific claims on both sides.
