Subconscious

Media analyst Justin Lewis highlighted for us the problem that arises when one argument gets so much coverage.

'The words "MMR" and "autism" crop up often enough in the media to make people think that there's an association between them, even though no link has been proven. People have an understandable tendency to absorb this kind of association, simply because they hear it repeated so often in the media.'
Justin Lewis, Cardiff University
