Ben Goldacre on Anti-Vaccination and Anti-Science
filed in Science on Mar.16, 2009
I’m one of those people that hate fake medicine. One of the awesome people who continue to fight against snakeoil and bullshit is the British columnist, blogger and scientist, Ben Goldacre. Not long ago, Ben posted a recording of a radio program that was promoting the idea that the MMR vaccine causes autism (it doesn’t). The radio station demanded that he take down the content, but not before the Internet had gotten ahold of it (you go, Internet!) and distributed the recording to many different websites. Here’s a video in which he talks about that event, and where he, as Phil Plait put it, slams UK anti-science.
