Very few middle road views on vaccines have been aired.

Dr O’Sullivan has been given ample air time to push his pro-vax agenda, but to my knowledge has never seen the Vaxxed movie.

If he has he’s never challenged any questions raised in the movie.

The so called anti-vaxxers have been venerated for their supposed social crimes of rejecting vaccines and all supporting science to the contrary, but those of us somewhere in the middle who have watched the movie Vaxxed and still support vaccinatio­ns have been forbidden a public opinion.

I have watched Vaxxed and it is beyond doubt that Andrew Wakefield wants to be put before the courts to explain his public discredita­tion.

He pleads to be subpoenaed yet lawmakers refuse.

Seems odd that the USA courts have the chance to bury him yet they decline, so just what does he have to tell the world? I came away from the

Vaxxed movie firmly believing vaccinatio­ns are safe in general.

My concern – and the concerns aired in the movie are the mounting evidence against one particular vaccine – which has never been tested (CDC can prove this).

Wakefield himself is openly supportive of vaccinatio­ns. In the movie he is trying to say ‘‘hey, there may be something wrong with this particular vaccine so let’s dig a little deeper".

At no point does Wakefield ever support banning vaccinatio­ns or the so-called anti-vax movement.

To report this as being the case is totally incorrect and quite apparent after watching the movie Vaxxed.

is much more to this story than we are being told. Joe Goodin, New Plymouth
