Nobody spins records anymore. Harold sounds like a digital remix of Jenny McCarthy’s greatest hits.

I am not an anti-vaxxer…
You mention the usual names but fail to mention Dr. Healy and Dr. Gerberding

@Harold: You sound like a broken record.

in a post about false balance, Mr Doherty calls for false balance.

You can call it patting ourselves on the back if you want Harold, but your repeated demands that people must answer your questions, otherwise they are ignorant know-nothings unlike your special little self, is the height of self-congratulatory egotism.

This is just like the ‘Smiling and Autism’ debacle all over again.

You never did get round to providing any scientific evidence for your beliefs back then either.

Wow, Harold actually deigned to respond.

Shame he repeated the very same behaviour he was criticised for. Odd that. We weren’t exactly unclear on where he is going wrong.

Harold – why do you assume people don’t know what you know? Why do you assume that we haven’t heard of these people and their arguements?

It’s sheer arrogance to assume that people don’t agree with you because they don’t know what you know. Healy et al have certainly not been underreported in the autism media. You have no basis for your assumption.

You need to start telling us why we should listen to you.

Second hand cut and pastes simply won’t cut it Harold.

If you want to go around bad mouthing others without looking like a clueless jerk, then you best start living up to your own standards.

No offence intended but your hands and wrists must get sore from patting each other on the back in this very, very small club.

You all comment endlessly about Jenny McCarthy and a few other favorite targets but when other credible names are offered you engage in the usual slew of personal insults.

You really should get out more.

Against such arrogance, even the Gods contend in vain.

Unfortunetly, Harold seems to think assertions become evidence depending on who is making them.

But that’s enough about that. We all know he doesn’t respond to mere mortals like us.

An assertion made without evidence can also be rejected without evidence.
