I lost all respect for the BMJ many years ago when its fondness for forming dubious alliances with very odd people in order to prevent debate on adverse reactions to vaccination became abundantly clear.

After some years of the BMJ publishing my rapid responses in relation to vaccines, autism and cot death, with a focus on Munchausen by Proxy being used as a cover, myself and others began to see a very hostile series of published Rapid Responses which focused on mine. One person, a practising medic, was so disturbed by what he saw written and published by the BMJ, that he said he had never before seen anything like it. One character called himself "Noone". The BMJ happily published his ad hominem attacks. Then another one called himself "Dr Sathi". Then one Sunday, I had a phone call from Jane Smith, Deputy Editor of the BMJ. Surprised by the call, I was even more surprised by what she had to say.

Dr Smith informed me that the BMJ intended to publish a Response from Dr Sathi the next day, that he was suggesting I had conflicts of interest and I would need to respond in detail. I dutifully wrote a lengthy Response totally refuting the false allegation of conflicts of interest, which was subsequently used against me. Dr Sathi, it transpired, was a complete fraud, and the BMJ's legal department removed all his posts.

It was surely impossible for the BMJ to not know Sathi and Noone were frauds, yet they not only published their nasty little posts, but they joined forces with Sathi for certain to make matters worse for me.

Harvey Marcovitch is another BMJ medic who has long supported Roy Meadow and David Southall, who brought MSBP to the UK. Finding Meadow also on the JCVI committees when adverse reactions to vaccination were routinely discussed during the years when the MMR was being introduced, and Marcovitch teaming with that same Deputy Editor who called me about Sathi, whilst cheering on Deer against Andrew Wakefield who, like me, listened to parents who said their chidren had reacted to vaccines, makes the reasons for their support of odd people all very clear.

A lot of students Brian Deer speaks to do not know about Professor Walker-Smith and the trial. They feel secure in the knowledge that if he is speaking to them at their university then he must be right as the university supports what he is saying so they are also responsible for the lies told. A lot of the public think Dr. Wakefield is wrong because that is what they have seen in the media and on TV. You just say his name to doctors and it is like a red rag to a bull. They do not know the true extent of the damage done to our children because our sick children have been 'blacklisted' and do not exist to the public. The so called experts feel comfortable with the words 'for the greater good' when looking at vaccines and our children are just collateral damage. The public feels safe listening to Brian Deer because the alternative would be unthinkable. Most of the time on Face Book and web-sites we preach to the converted and cannot get to 'Joe public' This is especially true in the UK. When I talk to people they have no idea while others who do know on the 'other side' are just plain cowards. One sales rep. who took doctors out to dinner told me when they had a lot to drink they talked about the MMR vaccine and admitted they knew there was a problem They said they the had a 'mortgage to pay and had a family. They also said they did not want to be destroyed the way Dr. Wakefield was. We have to 'convert' the media to the lies told and find a good reporter 'with balls' who is not frightened to really investigative the truth.

Lisa, I was sent that this morning by a "friend" as a , "see this is what's causing the problem". I hate to lose friends over the issue, but it's just another puff piece to take the heat off of this weeks truth. I have dogs, and cats, and access to horses, my kids climb trees, go fishing, get dirty, and someone is telling "me" that my sterile lifestyle is causing illness. It's media manipulation to keep us from considering the garbage in vaccines, the contaminants of dna, animal protein, errant viruses, peanut protein, directly injected . Let's instead follow the words, who paid for this information, motive?

I heard Brian Deer speak at the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse. Because I already knew the true story regarding Dr. Wakefield, what Mr. Deer had to say, and how he said it, literally sickened me. It sickened me not just because Mr. Deer was lying, but because it was clear that he KNEW he was lying, but the amount of "fame" this controversy is bringing him seems to be narcissisticly satisfying for him. It also sickened me because this was a college campus that he was speaking at, full of young adults who will some day soon be facing the decision of whether or not to vaccinate their children. I pray that these young adults were wise in their discernement of what they heard, and who they heard it from, that day, so that they decide to uncover the truth for themselves regarding this story and vaccines in general before vaccinating their precious babies.

I can't but wonder just exactly what members of the audience will be thinking to themselves while they listen to this guy. They surely realise he is just being used as a puppet yet again? They know that Dr Wakefield’s work has been replicated. They know that Prof. John Walker-Smith has been exonerated. They know that families have been compensated for injuries caused by MMR vaccine. Will they applaud Brian Deer? Surely his use to the medical authorities has run its course?

ppl on twitter watch #Evidencelive tommorow.

you could even tweet some video for deligates to watch and questions for the "brain" to answer.

I have to disagree. Brian Deer is not undistinguished; it is easy enough to distinguish a snake in the grass, especially one so brightly coloured. To say Mr. Deer is undistinguished is rather like saying vaccines have no effect, when they are terribly effective. Terribly.

The Centre for Evidence Based Medicine, however - now there's a misnomer, for if they were truly forging opinions and conclusions from the evidence, their first order of business would be to recommend immediate cessation of all vaccinations.

I wonder if Brian Deer will show a photo of my boys stating that they do not have Autism or bowel disease as he did in the USA? How he thinks he knows better that the consultants who diagnosed the boys is beyond me.I do hope someone will attend the conference and let us all know what his speech will be about.
