Introduction Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, when the first smallpox outbreak began and the first vaccine was introduced, there has been vaccine skepticism (Offit, 2015). Smallpox outbreaks, and the fatalities that come with it, continued to spread around the world despite the development of the vaccine. However, between the 1940s and the early 1970s, anti-vaccine sentiment declined due to “three trends: a boom in vaccine science, discovery, and manufacture; public awareness of widespread outbreaks of infectious diseases (measles, mumps, rubella, pertussis, polio, and others) and the desire to protect children from these highly prevalent ills; and a baby boom, accompanied by increasing levels of education and wealth” (Poland et al, 2011). These factors led to general public acceptance of vaccines, which resulted in significant decreases in disease outbreaks. However, with less visible outbreaks of disease and more vaccines being added to the childhood vaccination schedule, the presence of the anti-vaccination movement returned in the 1970s (Wolfe, 2002).

  • Vaccines and Autism: What You Should Know | Vaccine Education
    Q A Vaccines and Autism: What you should know Volume& 1 Summer 2008 Some parents of children with autism are concerned that vaccines are the cause. Their concerns center on three areas: the combination measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine; thimerosal, a mercury-containing preservative previously contained in several vaccines; and the notion that babies receive too many vaccines too soon. Q. What are the symptoms of autism? Q. Does the MMR vaccine cause autism? A. Symptoms of autism, which typically appear during the A.

  • Science Reporting Syllabus: Covering the Environment, Technology and Medicine
    1 Science reporting syllabus: Covering the environment, technology and medicine Science reporting is in a moment of extreme transition: Popular science writing is experiencing a renaissance at precisely the moment that traditional media outlets are jettisoning specialized reporters. This creates tremendous opportunity and tremendous challenges. This course makes sure students are prepared to meet those challenges. Course objective This course is designed to acquaint reporters with all aspects of science reporting and writing. It will train participants to view new breakthroughs and discoveries with skepticism and will give students a working knowledge of many of the main areas of science coverage, including the environment, artificial intelligence, and human interaction with technology. There will be lessons on social media, online writing, news and feature writing, and writing long-form narratives. Learning objectives The syllabus is designed to strengthen students’ core competencies in several areas: Determining what sources and outlets can be trusted to discuss controversial or unproven claims. Learning which questions will elicit meaningful responses. Understanding that choosing not to cover a story can be just as important an editorial decision as deciding how to cover it. Evaluating what type of form a journalist is most comfortable with and seeking out ways to work in that form. Course design This course will focus on developing toolkits for evaluating science stories in addition to learning about some specific issues or controversies. It is designed as a workshop course for between 10 and 15 students. An integral part of the course is analyzing and critiquing other students’ work. Readings Required books Deborah Blum, Mary Knudson and Robin Marantz Henig, editors, A Field Guide for Science Writers, 2005.

  • Public Trust in Vaccines
    MILESTONES MILESTONE 19 have been attributed to the drop in vaccina- tion. Geopolitical tensions can also contribute to vaccine hesitancy. The false belief that polio Public trust in vaccines vaccines were contaminated with oestradiol as part of a US-led plot to cause infertility in Muslims prompted the Kano state government in Nigeria to suspend polio vaccination between 2003 and 2004. This caused a resur- gence of polio in Nigeria and neighbouring regions, even as far as Indonesia. Negative public perception of vaccination is not a modern-day phenomenon. In1802, the English satirist James Gillray depicted the unfortunate recipients of Edward Jenner’s cowpox vaccine with bovine projections emitting from their skin and various orifices. Jenner and other early advocates of inocu- lation also faced theological opposition. A sermon by the Rev. Edmund Massey in 1772 (some 24 years before Jenner’s vaccination of James Phipps) denounced the ‘dangerous and sinful practice of inoculation’. Massey preached that ‘diseases are sent... for the pun- ishment of our sins’. Even today, parents can refuse otherwise mandatory vaccines on the Satirical artwork from 1802 by James Gillray, showing the supposed effects of using cowpox as a vaccine against smallpox. grounds of religious beliefs.

This paper studies the effect of diffusion of fake news on immunization rates in Italy by exploiting a quasi-experiment occurred in 2012, when the Court of Rimini officially recognized a causal link between MMR vaccine and autism and awarded injury compensation. To this end, we exploit virality of fake news following the 2012 Italian Court’s ruling along with the intensity in the exposure to non-traditional media driven by regional infrastructural differences in Internet broadband coverage. Using a Difference-in-Difference (DiD) regression on regional panel data, we show that the spread of fake news caused a drop in children immunization rates for all types of vaccines.
