3. Great stuff!
I read Wakefield's paper when it first came out, and, without any knowledge of the background surrounding it, just thought it was a very bad paper (e.g. no control group). I couldn't, and still can't, understand how it passed peer review.

5. He's just had ANOTHER paper retracted
this time from the American Journal of Gastroenterology:

Time to get Deepak on the horn and see if any good homeopathic gigs are available.
