Annotated Bibliography of Measles is on the rise in Europe – and populism could be to blame (Bosley, 2018)
Bosley, S. (2018, August 22). Measles is on the rise in Europe – and populism could be to blame. The Guardian Newspaper. Retrieved from https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/aug/22/measles-rise-europe-populism-andrew-wakefield
In this news article Bosley attempts to find out some reasons for increasing vaccine denial and conclude that parents deny vaccination because of populism, mistrust in pharmaceutical companies and scientific misunderstanding. She discussed populism by giving several examples about the USA, France, and Italy. She mentioned Donald Trump`s lecture and appearance of Andrew Wakefield who claimed the relation between MMR and autism, in Trump`s inauguration balls. After that, she discussed the Marine Le Pen`s party championed against making 11 vaccines mandatory for children by the government of France. She also mentioned that like France, Italy’s health minister Beatrice Lorenzin made 10 vaccination mandatories for children. Then she said peoples had less trust in big pharma companies and these companies are only interest in profit not making public awareness or not come up with a solution to prevent measles rising. She concludes that the true causes of measles remain a mystery, but to the discredit of the autism-vaccination link theory, populism, scientific misunderstanding, and mistrust in pharmaceutical companies are significant causes of measles infection rate.
Bosley’s news article serves an excellent report which is her personal reflection on measles rising in Europe. She is an experienced journalist; however, she has not mentioned any research tactics, analyses in the text. She just reported that MMR vaccine was increasing autism in British children as a result significant number of people are not convincing to have their children vaccinated, beyond public figures (i.e. Donald Trump) who use their fame to speak about subjects in which they are not experts, there are also social media influencers who spread and amplify inflammatory information through the social media megaphone and general mistrust about pharma industry she generalized the people who are not trusting them. She mentioned Andrew Wakefield’s published paper which sparks the movement but here is lacked references to support this claim. Her historical background of MMR link to autism can be used as my history of MMR and Autism link and I can use populism theory to support my main argument that why measles is increasing in the first place.
