Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey allege conspiracy!
Dr. Andrew Wakefield is being discredited to prevent an historic study from being published that for the first time looks at vaccinated versus unvaccinated primates and compares health outcomes, with potentially devastating consequences for vaccine makers and public health officials.

It is our most sincere belief that Dr. Wakefield and parents of children with autism around the world are being subjected to a remarkable media campaign engineered by vaccine manufacturers reporting on the retraction of a paper published in The Lancet in 1998 by Dr. Wakefield and his colleagues.

The retraction from The Lancet was a response to a ruling from England's General Medical Council, a kangaroo court where public health officials in the pocket of vaccine makers served as judge and jury. Dr. Wakefield strenuously denies all the findings of the GMC and plans a vigorous appeal.

Despite rampant misreporting, Dr. Wakefield's original paper (http://www.generationrescue.org/pdf...) regarding 12 children with severe bowel disease and autism never rendered any judgment whatsoever on whether or not vaccines cause autism, and The Lancet's retraction gets us no closer to understanding this complex issue.

Dr. Wakefield is one of the world's most respected and well-published gastroenterologists. He has published dozens of papers (http://www.thoughtfulhouse.org/publ...) since 1998 in well-regarded peer-reviewed journals all over the world. His work documenting the bowel disease of children with autism and his exploration of novel ways to treat bowel disease has helped relieve the pain and suffering of thousands of children with autism.

2. Did anyone catch this moment on a recent Family Guy?
McCarthy "appears in a photo shot with boyfriend/shack job Jim Carrey when Stewie compares Meg and Luke to when a crazy girl hooks up with an even crazier guy in Dial Meg for Murder. "

3. WTF?!
The retraction from The Lancet was a response to a ruling from England's General Medical Council, a kangaroo court where public health officials in the pocket of vaccine makers served as judge and jury. Dr. Wakefield strenuously denies all the findings of the GMC and plans a vigorous appeal


"kangaroo court"? These idiots are unbelievable.

Wakefield is a (proven) liar and crook who fucked off to Texas because he was finished here.

6. This issue will continue to be undecided for me
until Charlie Sheen and Jesse "the body" Ventura weigh in with their thoughts.

Peer review has got nothing on what knowledge can be attained by listening to the anecdotes of celebrities.
