I just wanted to bring to your attention the fact that Investigate Magazine included a misquote in their response to Dr. Siniva Sinclair’s ridiculous and rhetoric-filled “pro immunisation statement” from IMAC, regarding your article “Jab in the Dark”, which is at:

http://www.investigatemagazine.tv/jab.htm

The misquote is included in the PDF file downloaded from:

http://www.investigatemagazine.tv/pdf's/junjul4.pdf

Specifically, in the section on Autism, the statements you attribute to Dr. Mercola were in fact from me. I was asked by Dr. Mercola to contribute a response to an article he included in his weekly newsletter. This can be viewed at:

http://www.mercola.com/2001/jan/28/mmr_autism.htm

As you can see the comments begin with:

“Contributed by David Foster dfoster@ucsd.edu”

I would appreciate it if you would correct the mis-quote immediately.  Credit should be given where credit is due, but even more importantly, if any criticism arises from my statements, these criticisms should be directed at me, and not at Dr. Mercola. Also, it would be helpful if all of the referenced text were in quotes, so the reader knows exactly which statements are quoted.

Thank-you for your time. I would appreciate notification when the correction has been made.

And by the way, three cheers to you for doing the research and putting this information out there. Your article was extremely interesting and factual, and your reply to Dr. Siniva was very thorough and well-documented (unlike the good Dr’s comments).
