Despite an enormous success paediatricians are meeting increasing numbers of parents who refuse vaccination of their children.
Such an attitude is age-old and started as early as with variolation. A new wave of anti-vaccination movement has been imported
by internet. Cui bono? Professional antivaccionists in the Czech Republic who skilfully manipulate with half-truth are mostly
physicians who have commercial interest in alternative treatments which are not covered by health insurance as homeopathy,
autopathy, detoxication etc. It is important to convince parents in a sensible way and without confrontation. Leading experts
have to discuss with antivaccionists and use hard facts.
