[2010 Feb] Patients' Voice Excluded From Homeopathy Investigation

UK Liberal Democrats Electoral Prospects Founder At Hands Of 'Dr Death', Evan Harris MP
Dr Evan Harris MP
Liberal Democrat Pharma Rep 'Doctor Death'
Tagged 'Dr Death' by his colleagues and the UK national newspapers for his support of embryo experiments, Pharma Rep Dr Evan Harris MP, Liberal Democrat Science Minister, has now expanded his pharma promotions to rabidly attack his NHS colleagues on homeopathy. One would imagine that a major function of a Science and Technology Committee, of which Harris is a member, would be the careful and polite gathering of evidence from the expert witnesses asked to come before it and the sober reflection on and considered weighing of that evidence to arrive at a set of balanced recommendations. Dr Harris’s scandalous antics as a principal investigator at the homeopathy hearings suggest that, in his case, nothing could have been further from the truth. Watch the appalling Dr Harris on YouTube and make sure not to vote Liberal Democrat at the next election.

Dr Evan Harris, the Liberal Democrat MP for Oxford West and Abingdon, said: “About 18 months ago I suggested to the Research Defence Society that there should be a demonstration. It’s important to show the research community we are on their side. There were, however, concerns about whether enough people would turn out and whether it would be provocative.”  [2006] Focus: A campaigning hero

Dr Evan Harris, the Liberal Democrat spokesman who complained to the GMC, believes the committee should have sought advice from an independent paediatrician. Instead, it asked a gastroenterologist colleague of Wakefield.....Harris said Wakefield's reputation and that of his campaign was "in tatters and it is sad that it has taken so long for this to be demonstrated.[2010 Jan] Andrew Wakefield found 'irresponsible' by GMC over MMR vaccine scare by Sarah Boseley
