Slashdot Mirror
Famous British Autism Study an 'Elaborate Fraud'
Charliemopps writes "An investigation published by the British medical journal BMJ concludes the study's author, Dr. Andrew Wakefield, misrepresented or altered the medical histories of all 12 of the patients whose cases formed the basis of the 1998 study — and that there was 'no doubt' Wakefield was responsible."
Current Wikipedia article text on her:...
Of course, that particular bit of vandalism was (according to the timestamps here and there) just ten minutes before your Slashdot post, and removed by another Wikipedia editor just three minutes later.
I don't think it's particularly novel or newsworthy that a Wikipedia article briefly contained some vandalism that was quickly repaired. I do find it a bit disappointing that your first reaction was to run to Slashdot and crow about it for cheap karma points. If you found the vandalism so distressing, why didn't you take some time out of your busy schedule to fix it before you came back here?
Mind you, while the statement was unpleasantly polemical and its tone inappropriate for an encyclopedia article and there are legally-loaded complications to the word 'murderer', it suffers from that damnable niggling quirk of also likely being true.

Simply talking about Anderson Cooper is a waste of time.
Oh you're completely right. Big Pharma ONLY makes vaccines...
No, not even then... turns out, many vaccines are unnecessary. An example of this is flu vaccines for most people. I stopped accepting flu vaccines and haven't had the flu or a cold since. Even in cases where a flu vaccine is advisable, they are trying to predict which strains will be going around and they are frequently wrong!
You are wasting my time by having thought someone had something meaningful to say in reply. Good day.
That's an interesting opinion. So she doesn't love her son and doesn't wish to enable his well being? What's your basis for this assertion? That she's female and used to pose naked? Solid evidence, that. Got anything else?
I did in my other post. I'm not niave enough to think you've ever encountered her book, but take a look here at the comments section over at amazon:

Educate yourself just a tiny bit. Maybe you'll find the maturity enough to say something like, 'while we disagree about vaccines, she has tried to help her son'. Maybe, maybe not.
