[BPSDB] Just when you thought that after 10 tedious years the MMR Hoax was finally dying a death, no less an authority than the Science Museum have managed to screw things up again. As reported over on Thinking is Dangerous, the Museum's staff have taken it upon themselves to recommend anti-vaccine campaigners JABS as an appropriate source of advice for concerned parents. If you haven't heard of JABS before and don't know why this is such a big deal, check out this Guardian piece on them.

So in the best British tradition I've written them a stern letter, which you can see below. First, here's a list of other bloggers writing about this. If you're a blogger and you've written a piece on this or a letter of complaint, please send me the link and I'll post it here. I also urge people to write to the Science Museum about this - you can e-mail them at feedback@nmsi.ac.uk.
