Dr. Jay Gordon Responds to Dr. David Gorski and the Anons
In article ,
JOHN wrote: http://www.ageofautism.com/2008/08/dr-jay-gordon-r.html Gordon only wrote this one. It's pretty lame. Even whiny. He mentions that he doesn't make a vast amount of money, brags about all the hospitals he works at, and so on. But my favorite part was this: We both agree that Wakefield's original study was too small, not well enough done and should never have led to the conclusions which were published. Move on. Why move on? The anti-vaxers all still treat Wakefield as though his original travesty of a study was handed down by the gods. Not to mention the soft-pedalling of 'not well enough done.' It was total crap from beginning to end, the lab results were utterly invalid and WAKEFIELD KNEW IT BEFORE THE STUDY WAS PUBLISHED. So the man has no excuse, and neither does Gordon. He's going to be known by the company he keeps, and the company he keeps is the high-profile anti-vaxers. By the way, his whole complaint, the one whose URL appears above, was also included as a comment on Orac's blog. Not to mention that he supplied additional comments to the same posting later on. http://www.whale.to/vaccine/orac_h.html This one is a Scudamore product; it has his usual combination of marginal literacy, extensive ad hominem, numerous quotations from other people, and nothing resembling a coherent argument. -- David Wright :: alphabeta at copper.net These are my opinions only, but they're almost always correct. "John McCain votes with Bush 95% of the time. That's not a maverick - that's a sidekick!" -- Bob Casey Jr. |

He mentions that he doesn't make a vast amount of money, brags about all the hospitals he works at, and so on. Whiny? He is just being polite. Too polite because for a bully it is a sign of weakness. But my favorite part was this: We both agree that Wakefield's original study was too small, not well enough done and should never have led to the conclusions which were published. Move on. Why move on? The anti-vaxers all still treat Wakefield as though his original travesty of a study was handed down by the gods. Not to mention the soft-pedalling of 'not well enough done.' It was total crap from beginning to end, the lab results were utterly invalid and WAKEFIELD KNEW IT BEFORE THE STUDY WAS PUBLISHED. So the man has no excuse, and neither does Gordon. Why move on? The answer is in the next sentences: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I don't support Wakefield's conclusions. I've told you this before but you persist in your dishonest attempt to tie me to the small MMR study. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- He's going to be known by the company he keeps, and the company he keeps is the high-profile anti-vaxers. This is called "guilt by association". As he said: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Calling me "anti-vaccine" is a lot simpler and might even have enough accuracy to stick: I am very much opposed to the way vaccines are formulated with aluminum as the chief adjuvant, thimerosal as a preservative in many if not most influenza vaccines and I truly am "anti" the increasing number of combinations of vaccines. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- By the way, his whole complaint, the one whose URL appears above, was also included as a comment on Orac's blog. Not to mention that he supplied additional comments to the same posting later on. Yes, there were responses to his posting, so he replied to them. irrelevant stuff snipped Speaking of favorite parts, here is mine: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I am damn sure that Dave/Orac does not have a real job: It takes hours to write and edit this stuff and mine's nowhere near as good as Orac's!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Not at all. Howver, that does not equate with an academic oncological surgeopn who is actively researching cancer. I would say the opposite. An oncologist does not come close to a practicing pediatrician on the issues of childhood vaccinations even if he has a Nobel prize for cancer research. I agree. It is an example of the inexperience, ineptitude and general stupidity of the attack dogs, Bowditch and Probert. No, they are not stupid. Probert deliberately lies and distorts. He is definitely a pharma shill. It is less clear about the other one, his only remark in this thread was just silly. Labelling someone a "pharma shill" is a cheesy attempt to discount what that person says, just because it doesn't toe the altie party line. Unless you can demonstrate (cancelled checks would be good) that the object of your ire is indeed being paid by the pharma industry, put a sock in it. U.S.Government with all its legal and law-enforcement powers could not track the income of Al Capone, do you think I can pull such a trick??? They put him in jail for income tax evasion, which strongly suggests that they could indeed do it. So there goes one claim up in smoke. What I can do is post what I consider the evidence based on the posts. Oh, right. The "evidence" being that you don't like what he says. Whoopee. Based on the same sort of "evidence," *you* are a pharma shill, planted here by Big Pharma to make alties look like cretins. -- David Wright :: alphabeta at copper.net These are my opinions only, but they're almost always correct.

They put him in jail for income tax evasion, which strongly suggests that they could indeed do it. So there goes one claim up in smoke. They could not track the source of his income. What I can do is post what I consider the evidence based on the posts. Oh, right. The "evidence" being that you don't like what he says. I can repeat. The evidence in the case of Mark P is that after expressing his opposition to vaccinating children without parents' knowledge (see, I liked what he said) he on several occasions refused to disapprove the provision of New York bill 10942 that prescribed that. This looks weird. An assumption that he is not free to voice a negative opinion about such a bill would explain that. This explanation may sound far-fetched but I am not aware of a better explanation. In your case, I have no evidence and I am not saying anything about you. Whoopee.
