Tonight, at 9pm Eastern Time, PBS will air the documentary The Vaccine War as part of the series, FRONTLINE. The show will cover both sides of the vaccination controversy, interviewing parents, authors and advocates with concerns over the practice of inoculation, and scientists and public health officials who worry about the spread of diseases whose deadliness has fallen out of the public memory.
In a press release, PBS writes: "FRONTLINE...examines the increasingly bitter debate between the public health establishment and a formidable populist coalition of parents, celebrities, politicians and activists who are armed with the latest social media tools...and are determined to resist pressure from the medical and public health establishments to vaccinate, despite established scientific consensus about vaccine safety."
