Unnecessary procedures go on all the time in studies and even unstudied medicine but no-one seems to care so much about that, I wonder why? My mum was friends with a woman who volunteered her daughter for a study which involved her fasting for quite a lengthy time... mum was horrified at the time, I was too young to understand much... what about the use of unstudied stuff in obstetric medicine like Thalidomide? One of the biggest medical tragedies of all time Devastating.

Thalidomide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Why does this guy have MASSES of followers and believers who saw their children disintegrate after their vaccines? What does it take to get this out when everyone is trying to shut alternate views to the money making views? Why can't he be given a fair research opportunity now to prove his points?

Why? Because fear is a powerful weapon. Especially when our children or loved ones are concerned. Just as scaring people into vaccination can be powerful marketing and or social service, so too anti vaccine beliefs can use the same tactics. Create enough doubt with 'viral' internet techniques and 'loud' posting website and blogging techniques, any opinion can become "believable". No different to a cult.

Clearly those that rely on the net to publish their opinions need to look at the way they operate if the alternatives aren't listening. If that means better, legitamate research, then that is what has to be done.

Unofrtunately this blocke went about things the wrong way. In medicine that make you mud.
