@SBumpky @Hbomberguy Not sure it was quite that. A later phase of the investigation reached half of Americans, which was pretty awesome. But @hbomberguy sent my stats through the roof again last week. I don't know of any current affairs producer in the world with a bigger reach. A phenomenon.

@Hbomberguy @iilluminaughtii I think that idea is the brainchild of plagiarism-checker software companies. What @iilluminaughtii did is plagiarism, but compare it with @Channel4 @Caravan_Media and @MatthewsEamonn who gutted my work and sold it as their own. Here's my account:

@AThankless @Mr_Magoo5 @SwaledaleMutton @carlsmythe @TwitterSafety @mcfunny No. Andrew Wakefield brought down Andrew Wakefield. I only caught him, as would be the professional duty of any front-of-the-paper reporter who became aware of serious misconduct such as research fraud.

@GeigerLinda @PaulTHenderson You mean, ever since editors realized that Andrew Wakefield was a research cheat and the case against MMR was fabricated, they've lost patience with those who'd wish to trick journalists. If you're unhappy, take it up with Wakefield.

@toadmeister The overwhelming majority of "vaccine injuries" are either trivial, or not causally related all. Self-reporting of "vaccine injuries" are all-but totally unreliable, and hearsay reports are worthless. This guy Young knows nothing of such matters.

Transgender and vaccine science. Anyone interested in both might appreciate this Indiana lawsuit. The defendants accuse the plaintiffs' (trans +) experts of exactly the same conduct as antivax court performers. The scientific playbook is identical.

@carlsmythe @TwitterSafety @mcfunny I'm sorry, I don't understand. In what respect do SARS-CoV-2 vaccines work like the MMR vaccine: a combination of three functional "live" RNA viruses? I would say they are a very different technology, but am willing to be corrected.

@Inversionism @DrWakefield (a) Andrew Wakefield never made any discoveries about thimerosal. His subject was MMR, which never contained thimerosal. Which shows how much you know of these matters. (b) The case of fraud against him is conclusively proven.

@pookleblinky I don't think you've followed this too closely. It took years to obtain the patient records and other evidence of wrongdoing. Only then was it possible to find serious fault. There was nothing on the face of the paper giving grounds for retraction.

@Silverangelrant Andrew Wakefield wasn't any kind of expert on vaccines or autism. He was an academic researcher on Crohn's Disease. The pharmaceutical industry paid him and didn't target him. He lost his license for research fraud. Everything you say is wrong.
