Product Description

Synopsis

In 1995, a British doctor first alleged that the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine might be linked to autism. Boyce (Risk, Science, Health and Media Group, Cardiff U.) examines why this claim attracted so much media coverage and concern over the vaccine's safety in the UK--where, unlike the US, childhood vaccination is not compulsory.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Insightful Read, 15 Dec 2007
By Ms. Fidelma Carolan "Fidelma" (Northern Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I really enjoyed this book. The myths surrounding the MMR vaccine and alledged links to conditions such as autism have been debated in various parts of the media. This book looks at how the debate has been articulated and the way in which a complex issue has been represented for the general public by the media and the consequences of that representation. This book does not deal with whether the MMR vaccine has unintended consequences. However, it does highlight how the media has influenced the public debate and the thinking of ordinary parents. This is a topical book which will encourage you not to believe everything you hear or read in the media.
