I hope that the GMC smacks Andrew Wakefield down *hard*. Even by the shoddy standards of a lot of research done by medics, the measles paper was bad. I read it when it came out -- I was working in a virology lab at the time -- and even without any of it being fabricated it was manifestly a load of utter tripe.

The Sunday Times needn't look so smug about things, mind you. I still haven't forgiven them for their appalling championing of HIV denialism in the early 1990s. Yes, I can hold a grudge.


(Is Ceredwyn okay with the fires, do you know? I checked her LJ, but I can never figure out what LJ timestamps on posts actually mean.)
