Wow, LGF links to my fave scientific blog…must be a first!

For a good discussion of the autism/vaccine controversy, read Dr. Paul Offit’s new book, Autism’s False Prophets. I’ve been following this debacle almost since it’s inception, but the book is so thorough, it even taught me a few things I didn’t know.

One of Wakefield’s most strident defenders in the British press is Melanie Phillips. I used to love her pro-Israel articles, but have not been able to stomach her for years due to her beyond ridiculous pro-Wakefield stand. How someone can be so clear-sighted on one issue and so wrong about another never ceases to amaze me…

Olby, in contrast, is a moron through and through.
