Most western countries and especially the press have a "can't say anything negative about the vaccine even if true because it will undermine it" approach.

Of course, they don't realize that it is exactly this attitude which fuels anti-vaxxer propaganda.

These side effects have been headline news in most western countries, have caused EU-wide official warnings about them being distributed and a bunch of western countries have made changes to vaccination schedules because of them. But sure, so very suppressed negative knowledge...

On the contrary, I see most western media continue to host 'let's hear both sides of the story' type forums on their talkshows and interviewee lists, when one side are medical experts, and the other side are frankly a bunch of idiots.

It's not much different to teaching creationism in biology class next to evolutionary theory.

In this case it's not because of some big conspiracy, but simply because this type of reporting generates clicks and views much more so than inviting a bunch of medical researchers to present tables full of data on-air.
