I'm back - and so's that cock John Stone

Hi all,

Apologies for being away for some time - lots of things have been happening in Becky's World, most of them not so good, but I think things are looking up finally and I'll be able to find a bit more time to post here.

At least, I thought things were looking up, until I saw a post on Age of Autism from John "Cock" Stone, castigating the Leveson Enquiry into press ethics for not investigating Brian Deer's excellent investigations into Andrew Wakefield's scaremongering.

Stone's tactic is simply to repeat a load of lies (Brian Deer making the original complaint to the GMC, illegally obtaining medical records etc), link to a load of his own posts alleging the same thing, link to a court report about something completely unrelated to newspapers or Brian Deer in the hope that it'll make him look clever, and then to accuse everyone involved of a conspiracy.

So far, so cock.

What Stone fails to realise is that, even if everything he alleges were true, it changes one fact not one bit. Wakefield's research was flawed, fraudulent, massively riddled with lies and undeclared conflicts of interest and did not provide a milli-shred of evidence that MMR is in any way related to autism. If his allegations were true, it would not exonerate Wakefield. And on an autism website, that's THE FUCKING POINT.

Welcome back. I've missed your delightful sense of humour, meanwhile back in the real world, a local measles news story
