Academic Integrity Fund (Andrew Wakefield) added to The Autism Retort

The Academic Integrity Fund has been added to The Autism Retort.

Doctors working in the public interest are under attack like never before; they must be protected. You – and only you – must decide what kind of doctors you want for your family. Increasingly, what should be your decision is being made by corporate profiteers and bureaucrats. The surest way to see justice for these doctors and to ensure that your family’s rights are protected is to get their accusers before a jury. The jury represents the voice of the people of the United States of America – those who stand by the founding principles of this great country. Now is the time to stand up and be counted. Now is the time to fight for the professional integrity of those who champion your cause.
