When preschool entertainment and vaccination controversy collide | Dean Burnett
"Get Well Soon" on Cbeebies has recently come under fire from a group opposed to vaccination, for showing that vaccines are safe and necessary, a position that all medical experts agree with. Although it may seem somewhat ridiculous to get so irate about a TV show for children, many people feel passionate about children's entertainment for numerous valid reasons.
