"There was money involved." Those four words are all you really need. nomorenomore08 Mar 2015 #102
I am not sure you want to condemn everyone when money is involved- Dr Gerberding KellyW Mar 2015 #112
What does that have to do with Wakefield cherry-picking (and even falsifying) his research? nomorenomore08 Mar 2015 #113
