This is on AoA, a little above Handley’s latest swing at Gorski/Orac. AoA calls it “duelling press releases”, I suspect a phantom quote. I am interested in hearing more…

Also, off topic, I wrote up a rebuttal to Handley’s second attack on Amy Wallace, though don’t know if I’ll bother to post hit. A highlight: Handley criticizes Wallace for not mentioning a Nature article published less than two weeks before hers saw print and presumably well after it was submitted. We should do everything possible to discourage AoA from putting up more posts by Handley. He makes Olmsted look good.

Autism Science Foundation has the accurate information on their blog. “Autism Science Foundation Agrees with Decision to Keep Vaccine Research Out of the IACC Autism Plan.”

I don’t think the Autism Speaks release is quite accurate. From what I have heard, there is little to no mention of vaccines in the plan that got approved yesterday. I get the impression they are taking a victory lap when they actually came in last.

It seems rather odd. The Age of Autism blog had as their lead story, “David Gorski Jumps the Shark” (Or some such nonsense). SafeMinds has nothing (and SafeMinds president is on the IACC). If those groups aren’t trumpeting this, is it real?
