Comment on Specter Interview on John Stewart At HuffPo
Click HERE to comment on HuffPo, asking us if Specter himself is in denial. From HuffPo: New Yorker writer Michael Specter was on "The Daily Show" last night to talk about his new book, "Denialism". Specter makes the argument that Americans are in denial about the actual risks and benefits involved in science and medicine. We're too paranoid, he says, about vaccines in particular, especially recent flu vaccines. But is Specter in denial about his own denial? As Stewart points out, there are some clear risks that Specter is perhaps willfully ignoring to make his point. What do you think?
Olmsted on Autism: Tell Jon Stewart the Truth About Denialist Michael Specter
By Dan Olmsted
Thursday, December 3, Jon Stewart will interview “Denialism” author Michael Specter on The Daily Show. The show, which helps shape the Zeitgeist, actively solicits comments from viewers, and I think we all ought to take them up on it, HERE. (Please also post your comments to this article and we’ll send them the whole thing.) Michael Specter, you may recall, was the subject of my post in which I noted that he had plagiarized a significant passage from Paul Offit’s New England Journal of Medicine article making mincemeat of the Poling case, and had also committed several bad errors. The worst was saying that parent pressure – not the federal government – was behind the 1999 decision to ask drug companies to phase out thimerosal from infant vaccines. This, I said, is the sign of someone who doesn’t know what he’s talking about and whose default mode is to blame the other side for everything – a rather major problem if your entire point is that OTHER PEOPLE don’t know what they’re talking about and are hurling accusations about with reckless abandon. (He also doesn’t know what encephalopathy means or when the MMR, the most controversial of any single vaccine, was approved.) It was once-over-lightly, hit-and-run, a journalistic drive-by shooting of the kind we are so familiar with now, but as I suggested the only target Specter managed to hit was his foot.
After our story ran, and to his credit, Specter apologized on his Web site under the headline: My Mistake and an Apology to Paul Offit. “There is nothing more important to me than accuracy, and there is no place in my book, ‘Denialism,’ where I tried harder to avoid careless mistakes than in the chapter called ‘Vaccines and the Great Denial.’ I didn't succeed, though, and I want to make sure readers are aware of that. ... It was an accidental oversight which I will correct as soon as new copies of the book are printed. I told Dr. Offit about the mistake as soon as I realized I had made it , and, as always, he was gracious. But I also wanted to make readers aware of the error, which I regret.”
