What a Week in the Vaccine-Autism Debate

by peakdavid
Sat May 17th, 2008 at 08:03:16 AM EST

It had already been quite a week in the ongoing controversy regarding vaccines and autism. Dr. Bernadine Healy, former head of the National Institutes of Health, criticized public health officials for too quickly dismissing the link between vaccines and autism in a CBS interview with Sharyl Attkisson and called for intensified investigation into the link between vaccines and autism.

But the real bomb fell Friday from London at the International Meeting for Autism Research.

BREAKING - Video Shows BBC Announcing WTC7 Had Collapsed Half Hour Before It Happened

As the actual collapse time approaches at 5:20, her video feed fuzzes and is completely lost.

9/11 was unusual enough, without BBC World being able to foretell the destiny of WTC 7.

On February 6, Michael Moriarity, acclaimed actor in such films as "Holocaust," "Band the Drum Slowly," "Pale Rider" as well as TV's "Law and Order," said on the syndicated talk radio show "Deadline Live" with Jack Blood that he believed 9/11 and the OKC bombings were inside jobs.
