CDN99 Bit of a shock to find he was so well qualified? john 08:45, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No article on a person has every single achievement and title listed beside his/her name. I couldn't care less how "qualified" he was. --CDN99 11:51, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- You wouldn't being a vaccinator pushing your POV, but others would. john 22:00, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

When, precisely, was this man BORN? Michael Ralston 03:48, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

rather than keeping score ... for/against ...what?[edit]

What was his particular view on vaccination? Midgley 14:35, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I told you he was notable, medical men who become anti-vaccine activists are, as going against the herd takes courage and intelligence. john 10:49, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, so the particular point he presented was exactly the same as everyone else against, and who you have told us about? And this made him notable... I tend to think that most people come to the correct conclusion when they consider the data, but there is always someone who gets it wrong, or who considers different data and decides that those lea to a different conclusion. But if you disagree that he had any separate salnt from anyone else ... Midgley 17:10, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
