WP:NPOV tag

The last edit to this article is over one month old and the last related to a POV issue is much older, so I removed the NPOV flag.FRS 17:11, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Attempts at censorship

Thanks to efforts among a partisan group of people, virtually no articles link to this one anymore. This will change. --Leifern 23:30, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Er, it's linked from the articles about individuals who presented at the conference (Thomas Verstraeten so far; as others get their own articles, I imagine they will be linked). It's linked from thimerosal and vaccine controversy, which both make good sense. It's linked from lists of articles about related topics, including List of vaccine topics and List of autism-related topics.

Where it is no longer linked is from a laundry list of 'See also' links that were placed at the bottom of every remotely vaccine-related topic. This strikes me as sensible, and means it is still a 'once-removed' link via the topic lists mentioned above. (That's the whole purpose of having lists of articles on specific topics—we avoid creating long, cumbersome 'See also' lists on multiple articles. The topic lists are also much easier to maintain than long lists on every article.) TenOfAllTrades(talk) 15:38, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Non neutral point of view here?

The section titled "Aftermath" and the subsection titled "Criticism [isn't criticism in itself a loaded term?] of report delay" (and, to a lesser extent, the article as a whole) can hardly be considered Neutral point of view. In fact, that's as close to a conspiracy theory as it can be without being overtly non-npov. Also, the only reference provided is from Safeminds, which is overtly anti-vaccination. Think about it... 24.201.50.158 20:39, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't agree with the tone of the anonymous poster above, but I think there is an issue here. I have looked through the transcripts and I think much of this article needs to be reworked:

• The question of results from the evidence presented looks a lot more complicated than Kennedy or his skeptics have stated, so I don't think the statements alleging that a definite link was shown are valid.

• The information presented was declared "embargoed" until the June release.
• The aftermath statements about subsequent actions of the CDC (lying to scientists, hiding data) should be referenceable, if someone can track down that information.
• An independent expert summation of the proceedings would be very handy.

Otherwise this does seem to be just an article written to summarize Kennedy's. - KellyLogan 21:02, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
