Subject: [farmtalking] Censorship

A step further than spin is true censorship, not just putting the best

gloss on a situation but supressing certain key(and important) facts.

There has been some reports of new research into the MMR, 3in 1 jag for

infant immunisation against certain childhood diseases. The uptake of the MMR has fallen due to an alleged connection with increasing levels of autism. Some parents did not wish to take that risk and wanted to opt for single injections, spread over a longer period. This option was denied to them (What freedom of choice do we see in action here ?)

The new research originated from Japan. The MMR vaccination

has been banned in Japan since the early 1990's. The Japanese government believes there is a possible link to meningitis.

If this part of the reporting is ommitted, parents would be forgiven if

they were to regard this as proof that the MMR is safe. This is not only irresponsible but, surely, possibly criminally negligent ?
