A medical opinion piece written by a former Niagara Falls doctor has been pulled by the Toronto Sun after a backlash from readers.
The column by Doctor Ken Walker, who writes under the pseudonym W. Gifford-Jones, urged readers to consider both sides of the vaccine debate.
The Sun's editor in chief says a number of medical professionals pointed out inaccuracies in the column.
Walker writes that instead of getting a yearly flu shot, Canadians should rely on daily doses of vitamin C.
He adds while vaccines save livesĀ ``history also shows that on rare occasions they have a potential hidden risk.''
