HuffPo Exposed for Removing Articles that Favorably Review "Vaxxed" Movie

• http://thefreethoughtproject.com

It's recently been revealed that The Huffington Post has continued to block articles that appear to cast any favorable light on the controversial film "Vaxxed," as two articles contributed by British writer Sally Beck were removed shortly after publication.

Beck wrote an article, titled "VAXXED, should we watch this movie?", and it was published on the UK version of The Huffington Post on February 21st. She went on to co-author an article titled "The MMR vaccine: why it's sensible to worry about the way it has been regulated" shortly after the "Vaxxed" article.

"Vaxxed is based on extensive recorded interviews with whistleblower, Dr William Thompson, a former senior scientist at the CDC, (Centres for Disease Control) the US agency concerned with safeguarding public health," Beck wrote. "The film looks at whether his claims – that he, and four others at the CDC, skewed data in an important study looking at whether the MMR jab (measles, mumps and rubella) can cause autism – are true. Dr Thompson said: 'I have waited a long time to tell my story and I want to tell it truthfully. I was involved in deceiving millions of taxpayers regarding the potential negative side effects of vaccines. We lied about the scientific findings.'"

The article "VAXXED, should we watch this movie?" served mainly as a review of the film's content, while the MMR article expressed support for parents who have concerns about the safety of MMR vaccines. Both articles appear to show some graciousness toward Thompson as well as controversial figures Andrew Wakefield and Brian Hooker.
