Dr Helen Caldicott addresses the growing anti-vaccine movement in the United States and across the world, and the claim that vaccines used to immunise children against infectious diseases can lead to autism.
She speaks with Dr Paul Offit, a national expert on vaccines who has written a book in response to the anti-vaccine movement titled Autism's False Prophets: Bad Science, Risky Medicine and the Search for a Cure, published by Columbia University Press in 2008.
