Can somebody correct me please? -- I don't like to be wrong! Btw, While I accept he may have made mistakes(I am not a medic etc) I was under the impression good science was about asking the sort of questions that Wakefield did, and that all research was good in some way -ie a "no causal link" answer can be just as informative as a positive link. Further, while scientists, journalists etc should try to undertake the best possible work they can, sometimes even the bad science tells us something about say, the peer review process, how to better reduce errors, Accreditation flaws etc, and by identifying those flaws we can address them. Provided it's not hectoring, criticism is always constructive. Of course a corollary of the above para is that the atmosphere between Wakefield, the press and the establishment could have warped the direction of research and hence the wider picture
