More Idiocy on behalf of Wakefield

There were 12 authors for the notorious 1998 paper that linked MMR to autism.

You would think that those who comment on it and especially those who write long articles about it, would know who the key players are. They were Wakefield, Walker-Smith (by custom listed last as an author) and Murch.

All 3 faced a UK medical licensing hearing. Wakefield had his name erased. He had an appeal, but has abandoned it.  Walker-Smith is retired, he also had his name erased, but is appealing. Murch lucked out as although the fact-finding decision went against him, he wasn't even reprimanded.  I think it has to do with his status as a professor of medicine.

So Wakefield and his sycophants are looking for ways to defend him.  The latest is to point to a presentation in December 1996 on 7 of the children. Supposedly it is independent evidence that Wakefield's idea was correct. The article is by Mike Adams of Natural News.

Guess who were included in the presenters.

No, it wasn't Wakefield and Walker-Smith. Even Adams isn't that stupid.  No, the presenters included Walker-Smith.
