Big $$$ for Wakefield's spinning...

http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/a...ing%20Standard


The Government claims Dr Andrew Wakefield had a conflict of interest when he
produced a study suggesting a link between the vaccine and autism, because
he was paid £55,000 by lawyers to investigate whether MMR was safe.

£55,000= around $75,000 just for starters....

Where is the outrage of the anti-vacs? They have none! They will, instead,
point out that the pro-vacs also have conflicts. However, Wakefield kept
this gem a secret....

Try £55,000 = around $102,000US (the exchange rate is £1 = $1.86US)
according to today's New York Times.

That's ok. Don't you know his motivation is honorable? So what if he has
conflicts of interest?

If he suits John's purpose, it doesn't matter.

Unless what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Capitalist.

Ouch..it is worse than I thought. I wonder what a doctor in Wakefiled's
poisiton was paid while he was working?

Yes, that is one of the anti-vac lairs defenses. IOW if they agree with the
person, then it does not matter if the money came from Satan herself.
