Is there any area of anything that isn’t corrupted by money [he asks rhetorically]?
Dr. Andrew Wakefield’s 1998 report in the journal Lancet purporting to show a link between autism and the vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella “was based not on bad science but on a deliberate fraud,” says Dr. Fiona Godlee, editor in chief of BMJ, formerly the British Medical Journal, in an editorial published Tuesday. The editorial accompanies the first of three reports by British investigative journalist Brian Deer that document how Wakefield manipulated data in his attempts to prove something that he “knew” before he started his research. Most of the information in the reports has been published previously, but the recent publication of the General Medical Council’s 6-million-word transcript of the hearing in which Wakefield’s license to practice medicine in Britain was revoked allowed the editors of BMJ to peer-review Deer’s reports and confirm the extensive falsifications in the original Lancet paper.
[...]
The original paper authored by Wakefield and 12 others involved 12 children with autism, nine of them with a regressive form in which the children begin to develop normally, then lose speech or other faculties. The average delay between vaccination and onset of autism in eight of the children was 6.3 days, the authors reported, and the parents were said to blame the vaccine.But, Deer finds:
–Only one of the nine children who supposedly had regressive autism actually did. Three did not have autism at all.
–Five of the children had preexisting developmental problems, despite the paper’s claims that all were normal prior to vaccination.
–Although the paper claimed an average of 6.3 days between vaccination and the onset of symptoms, some children did not show symptoms until months later.

At least hes not inciting violence today.
#40 Actually the hologram (holographic principle, Google it) and matrix are the same.
And your reality is changing in unknown ways as you are being observed…
#41 Why the smear, they repealed don’t ask don’t tell…I thought you’d be happy.
Birth certificate fraud is relevant here.
tcc3, giggle.
Alfred1 Read Stephen J Gould’s Wonsderful Life, Edward O Wilson’s The Diversity of Life, and Edey and Johanson’s Bluprints then get back to us.
I see Alfred escaped from the Asylum and started posting again.
Is Alfred1 and Alfred Persson the same person. Different aspects to a multiple personality but the same biological entity? Or potential carbon based form of life?

#48 The Beatles say about the foolbar on the hill…still Confused…that’s sad.
Of the three kinds of people in the world; Those who make things happen; Those who watch things happen; You still wondering what happened.
Multiple states demand a birth certificate to run in 2012 Presidential Race…which means you will have to work for a living…wealth won’t be distributed to you…
Snap out of it.
It’s so hard to tell you apart. It must have the bewildering birther comment on a British vaccine research thread.
Seriously, any tips from anybody? How do you tell bipolar depressive, religious nut cases apart? Is it the wacky new age bible science? The homophobia? The old man lust for Bristol Palin?
Inquiring minds want to know.
#52 You are a coward…you won’t post under your real name as I have…
You think to hurt me by exposing my real name…
You only reveal your cowardice…and treachery.
But your worst sin, is you are boring.

That only one that would be hurt by exposure here is your psychiatrist. If you are sane, go to a real college and take some courses in chemistry, physics and biology then get back to us on your views on evolution and the scientific method. Until then, up your meds.
Alfred Persson, wow. That was the first hint of humanity I’ve ever seen out of you. Nicely done.
#55 Your cowardice and treachery would be tolerable, if you didn’t also bore me to death.
#54 I’ve tried to engage you intellectually, your only response to fact is ad hoiminem.
You, like foobar, commit the worst sin…you are a bore.
#34, I’m sure your “evidence” is every bit as compelling as theirs.

Alfred
You really should take your meds. You are a walking, talking, advertisement for universal health care AND psychiatric commitment.
#59 It is cowardly to change your username and make personal attacks.
DU shouldn’t allow it. Not only is serious debate subverted by the same idiot posting under different usernames, to make it appear more than one poster agrees with him…all context is lost. No one has a past one can draw on to interpret statements.
It suddenly occurs to me this blog is a complete waste of time…I spend most of my time responding to the same troll who posts under different usernames to make it appear others agree with him.
That is a complete waste of my time.
