To be fair, it was probably the most balanced presentation of Wakefield and his career history that I've ever seen in a major news outlet, and gave him the chance to answer all the various false charges that Brian Deer has pulled out of his ass over the years. But it was very much a personality/history piece, they didn't go into the actual validity of the vaccine studies at all--and really, no one expected them to. That's a career-ending position to take, and Matt Lauer just isn't going to do it even if he were personally convinced by the evidence. But they specifically promised they were going to cover the treatments themselves going on at Thoughtful House, which in my opinion they didn't honestly do.
