Letter to the Editor: Vaccines and the outbreak of reason

I must note my disappointment at your decision to publish a letter (‘Compulsory vaccination goes against human rights’, September 3) which is highly critical of vaccines.

Debate on any matter is always welcome. However, we must be careful that when seeking to present opposing views it does not cause us to tread beyond reality. In this instance, debate should take place within a framework of established scientific fact rather than a misleading pro versus anti-vaccination binary.
