MMR doctor Andrew Wakefield fixed data on autism
from http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/health/article5683671.ece
THE doctor who sparked the scare over the safety of the MMR vaccine for children changed and misreported results in his research, creating the appearance of a possible link with autism, a Sunday Times investigation has found.

Thoughts?

1. The UK should rescind their anti death penalty laws
just for Andrew Wakefield. He is the worst kind of fraud, starting with a conclusion he wanted and fixing data to support it. He was in it for the notoriety and the speaking contracts.

Of all the monsters walking the earth, he's one of the worst because it's children he's put at the most risk.

Those diseases were not benign, as those of us who are old enough to remember epidemics can tell you. All had the potential to be fatal.

This is what scum like Wakefield are playing with.

5. Their ideas live on.
Reagan's been dead for some time now and people still think that another round of Reaganomics will solve the current economic mess.

6. And yet even this will not stop nutcases from claiming such a link exists. nt
