The Inquiry: Whatβs Behind The Anti-Vax Movement?
Juniper Russo on why she didnβt vaccinate her children β but then changed her mind.
Opposition to vaccines in the US has led to the first measles death in the country for 12 years. It follows a big rise in cases, blamed on so-called βanti-vaxxersβ, who say vaccines do more harm to children than good. Why are their views so popular when the accepted science says the opposite? Juniper Russo explains what drew her to the movement and why she later changed her mind about vaccinating her two children.
