Re: Website claims concerning Wakefield

[Guest guest]

Dear Mr. Deer,

Thank you for pointing out that I had unknowingly posted the wrong name of a

newspaper from England on my AutismRally.com website. I have changed the

name to the correct one and added the actual retraction while working on the

site. You are correct in saying that parents need to know the truth about

this newspaper apologizing to Dr. Wakefield.

Sincerely,

, don't spend too much energy thanking this guy... he's completely

against what

we're all about. He's behaved deplorably at the autism conferences I've seen him

at... his

treatment of Dr. Wakefield is completely uncalled for.

Mr. Deer,

My website reports, now correctly thanks to you, what was said that hot day in

Washington DC. I took the statement directly from the Sunday Times website.

Maybe you should take it up with them if this is posted incorrectly.

I am confident that my website will not hurt Dr. Wakefield and I consider this matter settled. I have much work to do regarding educating the autism community and fighting for the rights of my child.

Sincerely,

Heeren
