Great comment from John Gilmore of Autism Action Network on NY Times story on DSM-V: "This is to be expected from the Times. If anything the New York Times sees itself as the stentorian voice of the secular credentialed elites....

Dan Olmsted at Autism One on The Wakefield Inquisition
Abstract: The unprecedented journalistic attack on Dr. Wakefield and colleagues after their 1998 paper on autism and bowel disease has begun coming apart at the seams. Now that Wakefield has filed a defamation suit, and a judge in England cleared the paper's other senior author of all wrongdoing, it's time to ask: How did Murdoch's London Sunday Times and the British Medical Journal get away for so long with getting the story so wrong? How long will it take the mainstream media to do its job and report the real facts? (If the embedded video does not appear click HERE.)

An excellent and concise overview of the Wakefield MMR 'witch hunt' and metaphorical burning at the stake. This DOES have horrible similarities with the Spanish Inquisition and Salen witch 'trials', but this is supposed to be the 'civilised' 21st century.

As they say around these parts..Deers "arse out the window and flapping" ...not a stitch of truth in Deer`s government propaganda..

Good talk, Dan.
I didn't know that about Child 7. Very interesting.
And the case of Child 3 also shines a bright light into the crevices of Deer's duplicity. According to him, the parents weren't sure their son's problems were triggered by MMR; they were really just looking to get some cash.
But the child's own GP testified at the GMC that the boy developed bowel problems and regressed soon after getting an MMR dose from a batch which caused adverse reactions and had to be discontinued. And it was the parents themselves who tracked down that information! Deer doesn't mention any of that.
