Good comic.

Did he use barium meals on the children ? I have not seen all the evidence. If he did use this method then the X-ray dose they were exposed to would have been very high.

Diagnosed under the DSM5 rules with autism spectrum disorder, under DSM4 psychologist said would have been AS (299.80) but I suspect that I am somewhere between 299.80 and 299.00 (Autism) under DSM4.

I was just going to post this. A friend sent it to me.


In months or years, Infants schools and creches will become places of disease and illness. Children will start being ill or dying. Simple as that.

The only thing stopping this is the progress that vaccination has achieved in the 20th century. Now, Measles is back. Who knows what else?


The Vaccine Conspiracy Theorists talk and waffle on and on and on, whereas I seem to have used two lines to say it all, have I not? The White Coffin people pick at tiny details and make lots out of nothing and, as far as I can see, tell lies through desperation. That is very much certain sorts of NT's for you, a certain pathology/mindset we have all seen before?

His wife is a Doctor too and I am listening to a Podcast she made with Polly Tommey on her Polly Tommey presents podcast. The woman totally confirms they have an agenda that is anti MMR vaccine. Nasty piece of work she is too. The waffles on with the usual conspiracy theory crap about people martyring her husband.

Death will follow for many little ones.

What Wakefield did, whether he was doing it for money or because he genuinly believed there was a link, was terrible. He didn't have enough evidence to support his theories, just plenty of media support. He pretty much tortured kids just to be proven right. There were only a very small amount of kids who were 'affected' by the vaccine anyway, now we've got hundereds of kids getting sick with the measles every year, some of whom become permanently disabled or even die.

If you gave me the choice, I would rather take the one in infinity chance that my kid could be autistic than the much higher possibility of them dying of what was a dormant disease. I was given the MMR aged 4 and I was autistic waaaay before then!
