NBC’s medical correspondent Dr. Nancy Snyderman has taken criticism from this corner.

Snyderman talked about how the physician-author, Dr. Paul Offit (author of “Autism’s False Prophets”), has received death threats. Snyderman herself said she had been physically ambushed by those who contend that vaccines cause autism.
