What happens

The Greater Good is an anti-vaccination propaganda film. It debuted at the Dallas International Film Festival on April 2, 2011, and began playing in Los Angeles, California on October 14, 2011. The film was endorsed by controversial doctor Joseph Mercola on his website, as part of "Vaccine Awareness Week", a joint venture with the anti-vaccine organization National Vaccine Information Center. The conjecture presented in the movie that vaccines might cause autism is not supported by scientific evidence, and originated in a fraudulent research paper. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
