Spiked:

The notion that serious science could result from research sponsored by legal aid funding and administered by lawyers is nonsense. The team of experts assembled by Barr did not include a single recognised autism specialist, paediatrician, vaccine specialist, virologist or paediatric gastroenterologist who has a current public appointment or is currently in practice.

[...] What emerges from these documents is that there does not appear to be a single professional supporter of the Wakefield campaign who was not also a beneficiary of the anti-MMR litigation.

There's a tie-in here to two other threads running through this blog: one is that when policy is based on science and when those policies involve ipower and control and money, science is the loser. See climate. And be very wary of any report coming from the Lancet; science there seems to takes the back seat to axe grinding.
