A quick reminder to opponents of counterknowledge to keep a close eye on the Andrew Wakefield case. Latest development, according to the Press Association yesterday:
The doctor at the centre of the MMR vaccine row had limited experience of the medical ethics surrounding paediatrics, a disciplinary hearing heard.
Dr Andrew Wakefield had “no training and extremely limited experience” in requesting parental consent for samples taken from children, General Medical Council (GMC) lawyers said.
The 51-year-old had no formal paediatric qualifications and prior to 1996, had not been involved in any clinical research on children, the hearing was told.
Hmm. Interesting. Meanwhile, Holford Watch is very much on the case, as you might expect. It reminds us that PROFESSOR Patrick Holford of Teeside University has been one of Andrew Wakefield’s most passionate supporters.
Holford’s association with the university is an important subject; I think some more work needs to be done on this. Lawyers at the ready, Patrick!

Yes, I suspect that the University of Teesside will need to have a bit of a rethink shortly. They have made an extremely grave error in this case.
