I suspect a website called vactruth may not be the most impartial website around.

- jiraaya 11y agoI agree. CNN may be? http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-1170073 http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-1170073
- fkooman 11y agoAbout this iReport Not verified by CNN Doesn't meant it is not true, but I am not sure you can claim that this article is endorsed by CNN.
- ascorbic 11y agoThat's not CNN. That's an "iReport", which anyone can post. This one was posted by an anti-vaxxer called "VaccineThis". Zero credibility. http://ireport.cnn.com/people/VaccineThis http://ireport.cnn.com/people/VaccineThis
- jiraaya 11y agoAh. My bad. It says "Not verified by CNN" clearly on the side pane and within the image. I just jumped straight to the main content. I agree with you that the post does not have much in the way of credibility. Thank you for pointing out and apologies for wasting your time.
- ascorbic 11y agoNo problem. The iReport thing is perfect for polemicists and conspiracy theorists, as it means they can post something and say "look, it's on CNN" and many people will miss the disclaimer. If anything is about vaccines I always check sources very carefully, as there is so much misinformation out there.
