"A Dose of Controversy": NBC to Air Story on Thoughtful House and Andrew Wakefield

This weekend NBC will air a story on The Thoughtful House (of Austin, TX) and the autism-vaccine controversy titled "A Dose of Controversy." Matt Lauer will interview Dr. Andrew Wakefield and other doctors and therapists at the Thoughtful House, as well as journalist Brian Deer and Dr. Paul Offit (author of Autism's False Prophets: Bad Science, Risky Medicine, and the Search for a Cure).

You can read The Thoughtful House's statement regarding the segment on its website, which lists the broadcast schedule as follows:

Friday – The Today Show
Sat/Sun - NBC Nightly News
Sun 7PM EST – Dateline NBC

I know there are many DFW families that support Dr. Wakefield and the Thoughtful House, and even visit the Thoughtful House for services. There are also those in our community who doubt the autism-vaccine link and distrust the biomedical movement. No matter which side of the controversy you are on--or if you are unsure--this should be a very interesting program.
