Another terrific newsletter. I was a little worried about the quote from Deer about Ben Goldacre. Goldacre is associated with the Cochrane Project and was always skeptical of Wakefield. Deer's comments sort of imply Goldacre was blaming the media instead of Wakefield but his book was explaining how the media was complicit in Wakefield's sins and magnified his claims among a broader analysis of media failures in reporting research. An interesting Australian connection to Wakefield was that he shacked up with Elle MacPherson. Noel Turnbull
