Seth Mnookin is the author of the upcoming (next week) book “The Panic Virus“. As someone who spent 2 years researching the issue of the vaccine/autism hypothesis, he was chosen to respond to Andrew Wakefield on CNN.
They note this in the story, but I will point it out again here: Andrew Wakefield would not appear together with Mr. Mnookin. This isn’t new. Last year the program “The Doctors” had a program with Jenny McCarthy, J.B. Handley, Dr. Jerry Kartzinel and others—where they only agreed to go on air if the there were no people with opposing views present.

A myth is used to explain something you don't understand. A lie is an intentional act of deception. That is what this is.

except that those who are spreading it - the uneducated masses, the celebrities who refuse to check out the facts - are not spreading "lies" intentionally.
