Victor Garber新剧Eli Stone首集未播出即被质疑, 要求停播
[quote]'Eli Stone' To Premiere Amid Autism ControversyThe nation's largest pediatricians' group on Monday said ABC should cancel the first episode of a new series because it perpetuates the myth that vaccines can cause autism
ABC's new drama, "Eli Stone," debuts on Thursday. It features British actor Jonny Lee Miller as a prophet-like lawyer who in the opening episode argues in court that a flu vaccine made a child autistic. When it is revealed in court that an executive at the fictional vaccine maker didn't allow his own child to get the shot, jurors side with the family, giving them a huge award.
The show's co-creators say they're not anti-vaccine and would be upset if parents chose not to immunize their children after seeing the show.
But, said Dr. Renee R. Jenkins, president of the influential American Academy of Pediatrics, "A television show that perpetuates the myth that vaccines cause autism is the height of reckless irresponsibility on the part of ABC and its parent company, The Walt Disney Co."
"If parents watch this program and choose to deny their children immunizations, ABC will share in the responsibility for the suffering and deaths that occur as a result. The consequences of a decline in immunization rates could be devastating to the health of our nation's children," Jenkins said in a statement.
Greg Berlanti, a co-creator of the show, said the episode is fictional but designed "to participate in what is a national conversation" about a controversial subject. He said the boy who plays the autistic child has autism, but that the show's producers have no connection with advocates involved in the autism debate.
"We would be deeply upset" if parents opted against vaccination because of the episode, Berlanti said.
Marc Guggenheim, who helped create the show, said the first episode shows how a fictional company covered up a study that raised questions about its product, and that the message is really about "the downside of the corporatization of America."

简单翻译一下吧, 全美国最大的儿科医生协会日前表示ABC应该取消其新剧Eli Stone的首集播出, 原因为其在故事中表示为儿童注射疾病疫苗可造成自闭症的产生. 在该集故事中, 主角Jonny Lee Miller在法庭上称禽流感疫苗导致儿童自闭症的发生, 而在故事发展中法庭也接受了此说法. 协会称此说法不负责任, 恐令许多孩子父母不为孩子注射疫苗而造成意外损失.
ABC方面则表示他们并不反对注射疫苗, 在故事中只是虚构的情节, 而家长们则有权自行选择自己的孩子是注射疫苗还是不注射. 对此协会依然表示在电视节目里乱说话是鲁莽而且不负责任的, 特别是ABC以及其母公司迪士尼在美国有颇高的影响力, ABC需要为由此产生的后果负责.
Eli Stone将于本周四播出, 而首集的泄漏版其实早已可以在我们这里找到: [url]http://www.friends6.com/forum/thread-71289-1-1.html[/url]
