If you are getting your information on the vaccine debate from mainstream media, then what you are getting is not "information" but something else. It sure as hell isn't journalism.
Here's another fantastic piece from Jeremy R. Hammond:
"The Times would have us believe that the science on vaccines is settled. The reality is that there is a great deal of debate and controversy in the scientific literature about the safety and effectiveness of CDC-recommended vaccines. The demonstrable truth of the matter, as the Times editorial so amply illustrates, is that what the government and media say science says about vaccines and what science actually tells us are two completely different and contradictory things."
