Nonsense about MMR

Anyone looking at AOL's front page news story

MMR Cheat GP Jailed
Doctor given nine-month jail term for forging results of blood tests to reassure parents over MMR jabs.

would be excused of thinking that the GP in question David Pugh was involved in covering up the "dangers" of MMR. Well, nothing of the sort, he was one of those unethical people busily making money out of the MMR scare, taking £70 apiece from parents for giving seperate measles, mumps and rubella jabs to their kids. Except that he couldn't even be bothered to keep the inoculations in a proper way and so they tended to be useless by the time they were injected into the kids. Then when that was discovered, he covered it up instead of owning up.

Consequently some of the children he "treated" are walking around even now without proper protection from three common childhood diseases. Nine months is a very lenient sentence for someone who would risk children's lives in the pursuit of money.
