Wakefield: This is the horse Huffington Post has decided to hitch their wagon to?
I am very familiar with the level of quackery over at HuffPo, but I have to say that even I am shocked by the speed and number of the wagons circling.

Really HuffPo? This is who you want to defend?

1. Can you honestly say you're surprised?
That's the difference between wanting to find the truth vs. KNOWING the truth and simply denying any evidence that conflicts with what you want to believe.

2. I reserve final judgment until Weil, Chopra, and RFK Jr. have weighed in.

3. Anyone who listens to the idiocy that Bill Mahrer spews
is of course going to defend Wakefield. Because we all know how Evil Big Pharma is.
Huffington Post is much like the Discovery Institute in its anti-science fundamentalists. Who needs facts? We BELIEVE in teh TWOOF!!

4. Outside of the real nutzo sites (natural news etc.), I don't think I've ever seen such a
concentrated collection of scientific illiterates.
