Gaby Hinsliff’s piece (Anti-vaxxers are taking populism into deadly territory, 27 April) starts with a scenario from Pakistan where two vaccination workers are killed. Anti-vaxxers have caused people to question the safety of vaccination by spreading false information. However, as the Guardian has reported, the CIA did its part to make people distrust those working to vaccinate the population (CIA ran fake vaccination programme to snare Bin Laden, 12 July 2011).

• Thank you for your article (Five ways to strengthen your pelvic floor, G2, 6 May). Possibly the most memorable advice comes from doctor-turned-comedian Adam Kay, author of This is Going to Hurt: “There are leaflets that describe these exercises in confusing detail, but I always just used to tell patients, ‘Imagine you’re sitting in a bath full of eels and you don’t want any of them getting in.’”
