I have done it! Not too difficult.

"I've been following the BBC reporting of the measles "epidemic" in Wales, including the twitter feed of Fergus Walsh. The report seem to act like a mouthpiece for the conventional medical opinion that the vaccine is the only option to deal with the situation. No reference is made to any of the negatives, side effects or other diseases that can come with vaccination, other than perhaps to dismissively referred to Andrew Wakefield and the MMR debate. Does the BBC feel it's acceptable to lure people into taking the vaccine without being aware of any of the potential side effects? Is the BBC not obliged to offer balanced reporting? Your medical correspondent, Fergus Walsh, is particularly enthusiastically tweeting in favour of vaccination. He studiously refuses to respond to suggestions that the BBC should investigate and report on the percentage of those infected with measles who have already had the vaccine. Are the BBC aware that in recommending the vaccine that there are many different strains of the disease. If not, I recommend you watch Andrew Wakefield explaining the situation. http://bit.ly/Zn7Kse I strongly suggest that you pass that to Jeremy Paxman whose performance on Newsnight (9th April) was particularly vicious and unbalanced. In raising this complaint, my main concern is that there is a lack of balance within the reporting, poor levels of impartiality, and that the BBC editorial policy seems to have been guided solely by the conventional medical "world"."
