I don't even have the words to describe this

Without going into too much drama or rhetoric, I want to share this.

This evil man, through his manipulation of data, his lying, his manufacturing of data is likely responsible for making thousands of children vulnerable to preventable diseases. Children have died from this and there are more likely to come in the future. He has misled vulnerable parents, incited fear and panic and should be imprisoned.

For the link phobic, a small sample:

THE doctor who sparked the scare over the safety of the MMR vaccine for children changed and misreported results in his research, creating the appearance of a possible link with autism, a Sunday Times investigation has found.

Confidential medical documents and interviews with witnesses have established that Andrew Wakefield manipulated patients’ data, which triggered fears that the MMR triple vaccine to protect against measles, mumps and rubella was linked to the condition

I suspect that if you (or your mother) flips through on the latter, you might find out which element of the DTP might (or might not) have caused whatever negative reaction you had in childhood, and that might help inform your decision making as an adult. OTOH, if you don'wanna, it's okay by me ... :D

Since I work with rusted wire all the time out in Bunhalla, I'm fairly paranoid about having to get that tetanus shot!

Thank you.
