Julia Belluz suggests reporters may be going too far when they bend over backwards to avoid fueling anti-vaccine sentiment. So far, in fact, that they pass up legitimate stories on vaccine side effects, such as a link between a swine flu vaccine and narcolepsy: "I've sometimes shied away from writing about uncertainty in vaccine science for fear that my stories might have horrible consequences for public health. It seems other reporters may have been doing the same."
