Fiona Phillips on Question Time last night...grrr!

I only caught her comments on the MMR which were jenni like in their awfulness.Basically she was just trying to say that despite the medical evidence her anectodal stories were what people should be listening to.

I didn't see it, but I can't stand the woman whatever she is on. She is thick and opinionated - a terrible combination.

So glad I didn't watch this or I'd have put my fist through the TV.

There should be a basic intelligence, logic test for participants on QT.

What's worse is that Jane and Joe Bloggs will listen to people like her (in the public eye) instead of believing the evidence, which makes me even more convinced that it should be compulsory.

Raaaaaaah, I hate her!

minister for stoooopidity? he has ministers for everything else...well, the ones who are still there.

her 'people whos fifteen month old suddenly has autism after getting the MMR' was singurlarly helpful wasn't it?

the doctor in the audience was a bit of a clown too, you'd think he'd've said more in favour of the MMR

But then, he's probably fed up of telling the stoopids till he's blue in the face that there's no link between MMR and autism and they don't listen.

Liam Fox did make a couple of decent points but when FP started wittering on about how she knows people whose child became autistic after MMR and they are convinced it was caused by MMR he could have piped in that they were wrong, frankly. He didn't put it that strongly.

She drove me bonkers though. When she was saying "it's not fair to deny these children (ie ones whose parents think they developed autism as a result of MMR an education" well, they're not getting denied - they've had the vaccination after all! And then when she said "where is the evidence in favour of MMR?" what you mean the fact it is proven to prevent the spread of those diseases, and that it's the most well researched vaccine there is, as opposed to one muppet who has now been totally discredited?
