This was a huge week in skepticism, and we covered as much of it as we could before we had to go to press. Among the topics we discuss are the meltdowns of Mike Adams and Joseph Mercola regarding the Shorty Awards, the newest humiliation of Andrew Wakefield, Ted Haggard being cured of the gay, and Bill Gates donating 10 billion dollars to create an operating system that actually works fund vaccine research. One item we were not able to include is the news that Meryl Dorey is stepping down from the Australian Vaccine Network, signaling (hopefully) the end of that organization.

No Libel Laws in Science

The use of the English libel laws to silence critical discussion of medical practice and scientific evidence discourages debate, denies the public access to the full picture and encourages use of the courts to silence critics. The British Chiropractic Association has sued Simon Singh for libel. The scientific community would have preferred that it had defended its position about chiropractic through an open discussion in the medical literature or mainstream media.
