I got two questions Mooner. Does kil get a page when you posts a new one and who is A. Wakefield? Never mind I don't want to know but I suspect your going to tell me. |
There are only two types of religious people, the deceivers and the deceived. SS |

| Yes! Congrats again, Kil!
Andrew Wakefield is the former British physician who fabricated a series of scientific studies that he said linked autism (and his invented disease, "autistic colitis") to the MMR vaccine. Silly goods in the anti-vax crowd went crazy, making Wakefield their hero. But Wakefield only faked his studies to set himself up to get money from a company that was planning to cash in on his nonsense.
This was all "the worst kind" of fraud, because his bogus studies encouraged parents world-wide not to get their kids vaccinated against potentially devastating but easily-prevented diseases. Wakefield made money and a brief fame, while kids died. Scumbag!

Wakefield is also at the bottom of the Gluten Free diet fad that's going on now which also came out of his leaky gut study and was pushed by Jennifer McCarthy. |

| I did not know that. My understanding is that some people are legitimately allergic to gluten, but for those that are not, it's simply a food component, harmless in itself. I love to bake sourdough bread. Without gluten as the natural polymer holding it together, no such bread is possible. |
