I'm actually hoping it's stopped clock syndrome...otherwise what will we do for fun now?

I refuse to click on the link. It's a cleverly disguised Rickroll! It must be!

AH AH! I thought my toilet flushed the opposite way this morning. I guess I was right.

The world is ending.

Virtually simultaneously with that earth shaking news, Dr. Nancy Snyderman of the Today Show, in the spirit of the Phillies winning the world series, interviewed Dr. Paul Offit, (who is reputed to be a big Phillies fan) and, also hit a grand slam.

Way to go Dr. O, and Dr. S.

You may choose either to embrace technological innovation and change, or you may choose to be ignorant. If you play games with your child's vaccination schedule because of superstition that has been discredited repeatedly, you and, more importantly, your children will suffer the consequences. The damage, however, isn't limited to just your family. You are endangering the children of everyone with whom your kids come into contact.

Wow, is this an early April fools joke?

For those who aren't familiar, WND normally runs the most crackpot stories imaginable:

Poor Darwin's false religion

Sleaze charge: 'I took drugs, had homo sex with Obama'

Soy is making kids 'gay'

If you look at the titles of the report on msnbc - doctor "challenges" link, doctor "disputes" link, you notice the true position of the author.
It's a bit like "scientist challenges the fact that the earth is flat".

Skee,

You always have Free Republic.

Well, that's odd. I usually read WND for my daily dose of LOL.

No.. this can't be what it seems.

What it is, its a plan to discredit vaccines by saying WND supports it, and nothing they say is real.

Very sneaky there McCarthy, very sneaky. Next you'll try and get the Huffington Post to go pro-Vaccine just to prove that you're right.

?fooW...

If you watch the video, which people watched on television, you will see Dr. Snyderman tell Matt Lauer that there is no controversy. None. Nada. Three times.

Editorial writers are trained to bow down to the dicotomy of false balance. If the show had a flat earther, I am sure that the headline would read: "Goegrapher challenges arguents about the shape of the Earth."

thanks, the streaming video part is off-limits for me at work, will check it out tonight

I find the blurb on the video link to be ripe with subtext, implying that Dr. Offit's is a minority view:

NBC chief medical editor Dr. Nancy Snyderman tells the story of one doctor who believes vaccines are not to blame for autism.

Yes, the video is fairly straightforward in its advocacy of science-based medicine, though it adds a bit of "false fairness," as a journalist friend of mine once put it. Matt Lauer, on the other hand, seems to be a believer in "where there's smoke, there's fire," and was doing his best to shut down Dr. Snyderman's explicit denial of any medical uncertainty. Yes, there's a controversy, Matt, but it's not a scientific controversy -- it very much resembles the evolution vs. creationism "debate."

Whoa... World Nut Daily smacks down Jenny McCarthy ?
Something is seriously wrong here.
uh oh. my cat and dog are sleeping together. . .
