On NBC Nightly News, MPH’s Schaffner weighs in anti-vaccine film
"Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe," an anti-vaccine documentary originally slated to run at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York has put a spotlight again on the debunked study that is widely believed to have contributed to the unsubstantiated impression by some that vaccines can cause autism. Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease expert at Vanderbilt University, was in contact with the film festival staff to express concerns over the documentary.
