I know it's sometimes hard to find his stuff until it's too late - but he posted this yesterday.

www.huffingtonpost.com/david-kirby/discover-magazine-ignores_b_201922.html

And then dog whistled (per his petty MO) here:

www.ageofautism.com/2009/05/david-kirby-in-huffington-post-the-discover-magazine-chris-mooney-article.html

All attempts to refute Kirby's refutation are appreciated!

I sent Orac an email this morning, in hopes that he will do another piece on Kirby.

I have a mediation meeting (divorce) today, and will be gone until sometime this evening. Will check in on the thread when I get back.

An article by Orac on Kirby last year.

EpiWonk schools David Kirby in epidemiology so that Orac doesn't have to

Skeptico on Kirby(2007):
Results Are In / Debate’s Not Over

Dr. Steven Novella on Kirby(2007):
Kirby Moves the Goalpost Again on Vaccines and Autism

I hope the scientist guys see your post!

edit: A post by Orac on the Discover article: Discover: Why Does the Vaccine/Autism Controversy Live On?

A couple of mine did, but admittedly, they were not really very good comments as I was in a rush.

Btw, I am now also "nopseudoscience".
