Autism Vox

Publish, but be wary

by Kristina Chew, PhD on June 2nd, 2006

In Publish or be damned (June 2nd Guardian), Ben Goldacre writes about the journalistic rush-to-publish the results of a poster presentation about the MMR vaccine and autism, and about the study published in the May issue of the Journal of Medical Virology on there being no evidence of the measles virus in the autistic children studied.

Mr. Goldacre writes:

In the spirit of science, the least opponents of MMR could do is share their data, and most importantly publish their scientific work, in full, openly, before their peers, rather than the press.

The least, indeed.
