Yeah! I wish you pharma boys would give up this game of attacking vaccine critics. john 09:22, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

But now we can fill up the articles with anti-vaccine critic propaganda!!! WOO!!--CDN99 12:34, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Beats watching TV! All propaganda is a lie, by the way. Truth is what we are into. john 10:50, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Medical Journal Editor[edit]

so should the journal be in the list of med journals, or the list of defunct med journals?

And, what was the _other_ thing about him? Midgley 17:28, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can't see any reason for this page to be merged. It's a bio page. Please Provide a reason or I will remove the tag. -- JJay 18:10, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:BIO - clearly he ws regarded as notable enough to not be deleted, and yet this isn't really a biography - we are told he was editor of a journal, but not what journal, and almiost nothing else about him. He is a footnote in history - on current showing - and the thing adduced as notable (and why the page got made) is that he held one view on one topic. There is a group of articles about that topic. He would do well there. IN a year, after his entry becomes a biogrpahy, it could become a page easily enough. Midgley 18:18, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Just your deletion by merger ploy. john 22:05, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

and the journal, and his life? Midgley 22:31, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unverified statements[edit]

He first became interested in a possible vaccine controversy in 1856 when an article was submitted to a medical journal of which he was the editor, by John Gibbs, a hydropath with controversial views on vaccination. Pearce began lecturing on the subject, and in Northampton in 1860 he held his first public debate.^{[citation needed]}

In 1871, Pearce gave evidence to a Select committee appointed to inquire into the Vaccination Act of 1867.^{[citation needed]}

central to an argument?[edit]
