I have included Episode
25 of Books
and Ideas in the feed for the Brain Science
Podcast because it is a discussion of the alleged connection
between vaccines and autism. In this episode I interview Dr. Paul
Offit, author of "Autism's
False Prophets: Bad Science, Risky Medicine, and the Search for a
Cure." Despite overwhelming scientific evidence against a
relationship between vaccines and autism, vaccine opponents
continue to frighten and confuse parents. Meanwhile we are
beginning to see the re-emergence of preventable and potentially
life-threatening diseases among the increasing numbers of
unvaccinated children.
Dr. Offit's book provides a thorough discussion of the science and
politics of the controversy. I hope this interview with motivate
you to read "Autism's False Prophets" and to share it with
others.
