The Facts in the Case of Dr. Andrew Wakefield

I could sit here and tell you about Dr. Andrew Wakefield (the man most famously responsible for all this “vaccines cause autism” nonsense). But why would I when this webcomic by Darryl Cunningham can do it in a much more amusing way?

Please, read, peruse, enjoy, and be amazed at the startling lack of ethics and pile of unsubstantiated crap that caused a world wide crisis…

So there you have it. I hope that you learned at least a little something.

(On his blog page Darryl asks you for a small donation so that he “can buy more pencils.” Feel free to click on over there and check out his other work. )

Webcomics are Science too *

It's been a busy few weeks at work, so as I am trying to catch up on the +1000 unread links I had on google reader, I'm bound to stumble upon some fun ridiculousness (thus the goldfish in the last post and the slew of xkcd webcomics I'm sure will end up here eventually). I was perusing Jen McCreight's blog, I came across this gem. Enjoy.
