Interesting vid and I'm sure astroturfing does happen, and probably more frequently than we think, but the slight affirmative nod she gave to a study linking vaccines and autism didn't impress me. That so called study was proven to have been paid for by special interest groups and the researcher accepted payment to skew the results of a statistically insignificant sample size. His medical license was justly revoked. He was indeed a hack, quack and pseudoscientist by the very definition of the word.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm late to pick up my check from GSK. They pay us nurses big bucks to schlep their secret agenda. :D

"Always follow the money."

Old timer detective used to say whenever he found anything interesting from a crime.

The person who has the most to gain and/or lose is usually the person who is trying to do the manipulation.
