The Vaccination Debate on Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson (January 6, 2019)

For years, the government, medical establishment and vaccine industry have insisted that any science linking vaccines to autism is not to be believed.

But what if the government's own pro-vaccine medical expert, who helped defend vaccines in federal vaccine court, privately told the government that vaccines can cause autism, after all? And what if the government not only covered that up but went on to misrepresent his opinion to debunk vaccine-autism lawsuits?

Today we investigate one of the biggest medical controversies of our time: vaccines. There’s little dispute about this much-- vaccines save many lives, and rarely, they injure or kill. A special federal vaccine court has paid out billions for injuries from brain damage to death. But not for the form of brain injury we call autism. Now—we have remarkable new information: a respected pro-vaccine medical expert used by the federal government to debunk the vaccine-autism link, says vaccines can cause autism after all. He claims he told that to government officials long ago, but they kept it secret.
