It\u2019s that season again: Another outbreak of a benign childhood disease<\/a> that only a couple of generations ago the vast majority<\/a> of the US population contracted and recovered from, serendipitously occurring precisely at the time when legislators across the country are putting forward bills to strip parents of the right to choose whether or not to vaccinate their own children.<\/p>\n

In this climate of interest-driven hysteria, it is important to be able to distinguish between reliable information on the issue, and misinformation. Here is one quick way to tell the difference:<\/p>\n

Take a look at these three recent articles on the \u201ccrisis\u201d of parents who choose not to vaccinate their children. Do you notice something they all have in common?<\/p>\n

\n<\/span>Leaving aside the frenzied headlines, what all three share is something common to the vast majority of mainstream articles about the vaccine controversy. You\u2019d be forgiven for thinking that it is the obligatory recitation of some version of the \u201cWakefield catechism.\u201d Here is one, from KTVQ:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe mistaken belief in a connection can be traced back to 1998, when a doctor in the U.K. published a now discredited study claiming the\u00a0measles, mumps and rubella<\/a>\u00a0(MMR) vaccine was linked to autism. His research was found to be\u00a0based on fraudulent data<\/a>, the study was retracted, and the doctor lost his medical license.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
