@LBC @MaajidNawaz There is a genuine issue that people encounter when trying to read about vaccines online. The World Health Organization and the Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety have said that:
@LBC @MaajidNawaz "Due to the success of immunization, some diseases are no longer perceived as a threat. Certain groups have even questioned the utility of vaccination in spite of its proven success in controlling disease."
@LBC @MaajidNawaz "In recent years, a number of web sites providing unbalanced, misleading and alarming vaccine safety information have been established, which can lead to undue fears, particularly among parents and patients."
@LBC @MaajidNawaz "Acknowledging the above-mentioned issues and urged by governments, key non-governmental organizations and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), WHO initiated, in 2003, the Vaccine Safety Net Project (VSN)."
@LBC @MaajidNawaz "The mission of the Vaccine Safety Net is to help internet users find reliable vaccine safety information tailored to their needs."
@LBC @MaajidNawaz The VSN has sites included from all over the world, in a range of languages; other sites are listed here:

@LBC @MaajidNawaz One key issue is preventing lies about vaccines spreading on social media platforms such as @TwitterUK
This report from the Royal Society for Public Health identifies responsible behaviour by social media platforms as key:
