On Wednesday this week Ben “Bad Science” Goldacre- there’s a link to his blog from this site- brutally pulled apart “Mad” Melanie Phillips’ piece in Monday’s Mail on one of her pet subjects - the MMR vaccine and Dr Wakefield's scare.
It’s clear that M/s Phillips knows nothing little about this
subject, but the Mail apparently needs at least one medical scare story a week
to keep its readers happy.
Melanie’s drivel can be seen here.
Dr Goldacre’s blast and a sensible debate here.
There is an interview with Ben on lablit.com here
