  • Ben Goldacre’s continuing story on LBC’s harassment and misinformation
  • Fish oil to snake oil…the Durham Council Story
    • ]]>     I cannot quite believe that Andrew Wakefield lodged a complaint to the Press Complaints Commission regarding a Sunday Times article written by Brian Deer.

    Reading the blog at http://holfordwatch.info/2009/03/16/andrew-wakefield-lodges-complaint-about-brian-deer-with-press-complaints-commission/, it’s clear to me that Andrew Wakefield should take full responsibility for his actions. Perhaps then he can start the recovery process to become fully rehabilitated into the scientific community, but looking at his rack record I somehow doubt that he will change. Perhaps he thinks that he will be considered a martyr by his adoring "followers". But it’s a sad story. And the media are not blameless themselves for feeding the MMR scare stories.

  • Small victory for science and common sense
  • Honey cough medicine
    • ]]>     Thanks to a couple of blogs I was brought up to date on the silly antics of LBC and their harassment of Ben Goldacre.

    Ben Goldacre’s badscience article provides a lot of information and also I gotta thank DC’s Improbable Science article for a reminder.
