Dark Days at Wikipedia

9th August 2008

by Sue Young

It is with great regret that Wikipedia has been exposed as deeply prejudiced against Alternative Medicine, such that the homeopathic community has now established its own version, www.wiki4cam.org, to counter the subversive propaganda Wikipedia is pumping out. Shame on them!

Andrew Wakefield at the GMC

Reports by Martin J. Walker:

Miss Smith and Her Junior Warlocks Stir the Brew

19th - 29th August 2008

The final and most chilling part of Miss Smith's cross examination scurried right to the heart of the prosecution case, there she squatted on her haunches and chewed at that tough muscle. Her case was this: The publication of the Lancet paper obviously had serious public health consequences and therefore it should neither have been written nor published.

The Plot Thins and Humbug Sets In

11th August - 15th August

http://www.cryshame.co.uk//index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=100&Itemid=152

And your conscience Miss Smith?

4th - 8th August

The portrayal of Dr Wakefield as a dishonest, cruel and amoral chancer, began long before the GMC hearings.   Since the publication of the Lancet paper, the pharmaceutical companies, with their hand-maidens in the science lobby groups, have presented a cartoon picture of Dr Wakefield as a lone maverick. Since the hearing began, the prosecution has manipulated evidence and constructed a scenario, which is a long way from describing the defendants or the good work they have done on behalf of sick children and their parents. In order to build a case against the doctors, the prosecution has had to fabricate not only a story, but new identities for the three defendants.
