The Greater Good (2011)
Unscientific propaganda
Just another example of how pseudo science is dressed up to look like science. No rational evidence is presented for the claims made in the film, just slickly produced emotional propaganda. Sure the families tear at the heart strings, exactly as intended, but few people with any scientific knowledge will swallow the message. The problem is that the public has forgotten what infectious disease can do to unprotected and vulnerable people. The film is without doubt well made and presented but that in itself cannot make up for the fact that it's message could lead to a further reduction in the rates of vaccination and as a consequence, an increase in death and disability especially among the young.
