Talk:Barbara Loe Fisher

Untitled
I gathered from the interview that she is a protagonist of chiropractic, so I presume she is a chiropractor herself. Some more biographical information would be immensely useful, such as basic biostats (date of birth etc). JFW | T@lk  16:19, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Malicious allopath removal of whale.to link noted. I am logging all of these, so you will have to live with your actions being widely know. john 11:44, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Qualification?
THe removal oand replacement of chiropractor and DC has been, as is not unusual, not accompanied by any citation to demonstrate it is true. I've flagged it with a fact tag, and await some indication. Midgley 13:57, 16 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I forgot to mention the details... we got a letter saying she wasn't a chiropractor. Since the external links didn't seem to say so, I removed it. Reading around, she seems to have close links with the profession, and to be strongly supported by them, but this is a far cry from being one - [http :// whale.to/a/fisher.html], for example.
 * Indeed, that interview mentions "I didn’t really know anything about doctors of chiropractic when I flew to Boston...", ten years after she started campaigning. JFW's a smart guy, and I'm loath to disagree with him on anything vaguely medical, but I suspect his comment above was a mistaken interpretation. Unless we have a citation, I'm going to pull the claim - the onus of proof is on inclusion, not exclusion. Shimgray | talk | 14:11, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I notified User:Ombudsman that it was disputed, and he has chosen not to respond[User_talk:Ombudsman&curid=1547386&diff=48705907&oldid=48701840], so it is possible that he accepts that it was without foundation. Midgley 16:13, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I have not seen any evidence that she's a chiro. Depending on one's POV, it would either be an insult to chiros or an insult to anti-vaxers. BTW, is the commonly used expression "anti-vaxer" described here at Wikipedia? -- Fyslee 21:04, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
