Undo / redo
Yes, I'm just an IP, but I notice that another IP has been trying to remove genuine news developments relating to this person. I have undone these changes. Suggest a more regular editor might like to keep an eye on this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.156.83.247 (talk) 10:17, 6 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Sure. But do steer as far clear of anything that looks like name-calling as possible. Pseudomonas(talk) 01:44, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

What is the date of the MMR broadcast?
I am not convinced that it was a February 2009 show. This is simply because I discovered the story (and the story about the legal challenge popped up in the morning of the 6th of Feb 2009 (first Friday of the month) on BoingBoing.net - so there was already a situation) and she has a Friday slot between 1 and 3. I have no idea what the actual date of the broadcast was but I think that puts it in January and not February. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.129.243.62 (talk) 01:52, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

EDM 754 full text
That this House expresses its support for the use of the combined MMR vaccine; notes with concern the re-emergence of measles and the loss of life and long-term health problems which will afflict children as a result of the decline in the vaccination rate which followed Dr Andrew Wakefield's now discredited research paper suggesting a link between MMR vaccine and autism; expresses its disappointment that ill-informed comments by presenters such as Jeni Barnett on her LBC radio show will continue to cause unfounded anxieties for many parents and are likely to result in some parents choosing not to vaccinate their children; recognises the right of Jeni Barnett as a parent to make her own judgement about vaccinations for her own children but implores her and others in the media to act more responsibly when making comments in the public domain; and further expresses its hope that in the future reporting the issue of MMR will be less sensationalist and more evidence-based.

Unsourced
I have commented out the entire MMR controversy section, as it is obviously controversial and contained unsourced material, but deleting the unsourced parts consistent with WP:BLP (which says that unsourced controversial info in a BLP mast be immediately deleted) would have made the rest too confusing. This seems like too important a section to just delete so I have commented it out for now, if anyone can add citations to this section it would be greatly appreciated.
