It’s Day 3 of the Science Blogs Book Club on Dr. Paul Offit’s Autism’s False Prophets: Bad Science, Risky Medicine, and the Search for a Cure. Dr. Offit has been posting and responding to questions (yesterday he noted that “anti-vaccine forces have taken the autism story hostage,” and I agree). Kev of Left Brain/Right Brain writes about how autism has become a secondary concern, Orac posts about framing vaccines, and I have a post up about mercury rising and falling and Lyn Redwood.
You can also read other reviews of Dr. Offit’s book in the Kansas City Star and on the LA Times Booster Shots blog. The Rocky Mountain News gives the book an A- and notes that “Offit’s sarcasm and brow-beating of those he disagrees with is grating - this book will do little to stop the nasty phone calls.”
Can’t win ‘em all—-head on over to the Science Blogs Book Club to find out why, and more.

Looks like any time you post something that the Antivax Toxicoma Peanut Gallery doesn’t like, they rate your post with one star. Oooooooooh. So…irrelevant.
That’s pretty funny.
