It’s doubtful that “Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe” would be playing in Washington — or anywhere — were it not for the controversy that briefly flared up around the film, when Robert De Niro personally programmed the documentary linking autism to vaccination into his Tribeca Film Festival in March. Breaking protocol, De Niro requested that the film be shown, saying that he hoped the movie would generate “conversation around an issue that is deeply personal to me and my family.” (De Niro and his wife have an autistic son.)
Less than a week later, the film was abruptly pulled after the actor and festival founder announced that he had reviewed it with members of the scientific community, concluding that it did not further that conversation.
That’s putting it mildly....
