People like her - are they just congenitally stupid or are they simply causing controversy to make a living.

In her case, yes and yes.

"The seizure occurred ten days after the vaccination. In our view, this cannot be put down to coincidence.

It is this temporal association that provides the link. It is this that has shown on the balance of probabilities that the vaccination triggered the epilepsy."

Huh?
It is quite possible that the seizure was a completely unrelated event. It is difficult to exaggerate what a stupid comment that is.

So do you have a problem with the semantics of this press release, or that the underlying medical opinion around the MMR jab may be shifting?

I am told that on a Saturday night in A&E you will know what the script of casualty contained as there will be a flood of people arriving at the desk with all the problems of that night’s show around 9.

Wakefield was guilty of practicing shockingly bad medicine and was kicked out for that and actions caused untold misery for children of idiots who think 10 minutes on the internet gives them the ability to second guess a trained doctor.

2 cheeks on the same arse.

I doubt that medical opinion is shifting. No one is claiming that the MMR jab is 100% safe - such a drug or vaccine simply does not exist.
What I have a problem with is that the conclusion and the wording used suggest that statistical analysis was involved and that is not the case. Of the 3 in judgement, 2 agreed and 1 didn't.
It is shocking but not surprising that such judgemnets are made by people without the training to understand what and what doesn't constitute evidence.
