Usually my "wow, just wow" posts are some piece of nature's grandeur or some head-bending bit of physics. This time, not so much, unless you count awe at the sheer scale of the damage done if Wakefield's old and oft-disproved MMR-autism work was actually faked.
Being wrong is one thing; being wrong and sticking to your wrong guns is another; perpetrating bogisity right from the start, scaring responsible parents from proven safe jabs and being pivotal in the whole distrust-the-scientists-they're-trying-to-poison-you tinfoil hat bollocks? That's chutzpah on a whole new level.
