At last Wakefield has been exposed as the crook that he is. He spread scare stories about the MNR Vaccine knowing that his claims were false.

The doctor who sparked a worldwide panic over the MMR vaccine could be struck off after being found guilty yesterday of a series of misconduct charges related to his “unethical” research. Andrew Wakefield, who in 1998 claimed an unfounded link between the vaccination and autism, “showed a callous disregard” for the suffering of children, subjecting them to unnecessary, invasive tests, a hearing found. The General Medical Council (GMC) ruled that he abused his position of trust as he researched a possible link between the MMR vaccine, bowel disease and autism in children.

It found that Wakefield and two colleagues acted dishonestly and irresponsibly in carrying out research on children against their best interests and without official permission. read full story / add a comment

Hundreds of teenagers and youth workers protested at the Dail. It was LOUD and mental as it should be. Charlie O'Connor seemed to row with people wherever he went, insisting he was a Dubliner and that seemed to be his reason for attending the protest against his own government's devastating cuts. He wasn't too pleased when one of the future voters informed him he couldn't do his own job.
