This column is about tainted medical research, not MMR. Now don&#8217;t get me wrong: it&#8217;s still an interesting week to be right about vaccines. On Sunday, Brian Deer at the Times claimed that the medical cases in Andrew Wakefield&#8217;s 1998 paper were altered before publication. The measles figures came out: [...]]]></description>

Writing this column only really scares me because I wonder whether everything else in the media is as shamelessly, venally, manipulatively, one-sidedly, selectively reported on as the things I know about. I&#8217;m not going to go on about MMR again. But this week the reality editing was truly without comparison.
