NBC NEWS CHIEF MEDICAL EDITOR TELLS WHY SHE BROKE HER SILENCE
“So my faith in vaccines stems from my experiences. But my belief is also rooted in the science, science that I believe outspoken celebrities who are self-appointed vaccine experts are derailing.

And it was written and performed by people who should know—individuals who are on the autism spectrum themselves.
