Are there any papers arguing against vaccination in French? ## Disclaimer: This question is NOT about challenging the safety or efficacy of vaccines. It is only asking for tips on providing credible references that may show harmful effects of vaccination, if any. In my French class, we were asked to debate an issue in current events. My topic is vaccines in children or adults. The challenging part is that I was assigned to argue **against** vaccination, and I have to back up my arguments with credible sources (not blogs) that are in French. Hopefully some of you could point me towards some links to articles or research papers in French. ## Please avoid discussion on safety and efficacy of vaccines, including local and global policies on their use. I just need help with this topic for my French class

I wish you good luck, as 99.99% of the anecdotal claims out there that conclude vaccination is bad are based on unfounded rumors.

Note that much of the negative public opinion is based on a fraudulent (and retracted) paper by _Wakefield in The Lancet (1998)_. Unfortunately for you, however, it is in English.

My French is a bit rusty, but if you go to Google Scholar and type in a search term like **vaccination results in autism** ( _les résultats de la vaccination dans l'autisme_ ) or _Wakefield vaccination autisme_ something might pop up in French that advocates against vaccination.
