Vaccination Decisions – Judy Wilyman
In 2015 Dr Wilyman (as she now is) had her PhD thesis accepted. This resulted in her surpassing her Highly Commended in the 2012 Millenium Awards, and in 2015 she finally reached the top – an Anus Maximus Award. You can see all the 2015 Millenium Awards here. The award citation read:
In late 2015 the University of Wollongong accepted a PhD thesis titled "A critical analysis of the Australian government's rationale for its vaccination policy", written by Judy Wilyman. She will now be awarded a doctorate.
This award is shared between the three players in the drama – Dr Wilyman, Professor Brian Martin who supervised the process, and the University of Wollongong which awarded the degree.
I should start off by countering one of the criticisms that have been made of the thesis – that the research was conducted in a Humanities department. This is actually irrelevant. (He would say that, wouldn't he? He has a BA.) It is perfectly legitimate to investigate science from outside the world of science, and in fact most of the most famous and well-known philosophers of science were not themselves scientists. The real criticism is that the thesis is not of the academic quality expected for the granting of a doctorate from a legitimate university.
Let's look at the three winners individually.
Dr Judy Wilyman spent a decade working on this. I have read the thesis, well, most of it anyway (at 390 pages it is only slightly shorter than my paperback copy of Darwin's "The Origin Of Species"), but the standard of "research" can probably be summed up by the fact that the second sentence in the abstract repeats one of the standard diversions used by anti-vaccination campaigners worldwide: "Deaths and illnesses to infectious diseases were significantly reduced due to environmental and lifestyle reforms prior to the widespread use of most vaccines in the mid-20th century". Dr Wilyman is and always has been an opponent of vaccines, and the thesis is merely a regurgitation of the nonsense we have been hearing forever, including conspiracy theories such as that the Australian government vaccination policy is informed by a conspiracy between the WHO and Big Pharma. In other words, we knew what she was going to say before we had a chance to read it.
The "Publications in support of this thesis" include a link to a television show which quoted Ms Wilyman, with authorship attributed to Ms Wilyman (the actual author was journalist Anna Salleh), a paper in the journal Medical Veritas (a publication which is vehemently opposed to vaccination), a presentation at a conference run by an organisation which has run another conference specifically devoted to the dangers of radiation from mobile phones, and a couple of papers published in a journal produced by an Australian college of alternative medicine. (I couldn't find out too much about the college because their website was blocked by my antivirus program for trying to install malware on my computer.) Like I said, I didn't have to read far into the thesis before encountering red flags.
Professor Brian Martin reacted to criticism of the thesis not by addressing the substance of the criticism but by accusing all critics of being bullies and crying "freedom of speech". These seem to be special interests of his lately, and a previous paper he wrote about people bullying the Australian Vaccination Network was submitted as evidence in at least two court hearings. (In both cases the magistrate ruled that it was inadmissible.) On the day that acceptance of the PhD thesis was announced he pre-emptively published a paper accusing anybody who might have something bad to say about the thesis of doing so with an ulterior motive. It is usually the job of the candidate to defend a doctoral thesis, not the supervising academic, and in any case any defence should be based on the quality of the work. By rebutting all criticism as simply being examples of bullying, Professor Martin is diverting the conversation away from where it should be going. As supervisor, he should have made a major contribution to the quality of the work but it seems that even he can't defend it.
Yes, academic freedom requires that unpopular or disruptive views must be freely expressed, but that doesn't mean that anything goes and that opinions and prejudices can be presented as fact without supporting evidence or when any evidence is presented that it is selected by a firm and consistent application of confirmation bias. Freedom of speech might be the fundamental freedom, but it doesn't mean you can just make stuff up and call it research.
The University of Wollongong is included in the award because by allowing this thesis to be accepted it has tarnished the qualifications of everyone who has received a higher degree from the institution in the past and those who will do so in the future. The value of any qualification is inextricably linked to the standards set by and the reputation of the issuing institution, and the publicity surrounding this case could lead to employers reasonably questioning whether a degree from the University of Wollongong has any value at all.
This site was Highly Commended in the 2012 Millenium Awards. The award citation read:
In giving a Highly Commended award to Judy Wilyman I'm deliberately ignoring the fact that she has a page on the site attacking me. While I appreciate the publicity I am not susceptible to bribes or flattery.
This site is here because it is often cited as an authority on the problems of vaccination, specifically the dangers of the vaccine against human papilloma virus, despite the fact that there is no material there by pathologists, immunologists, oncologists or anyone who might know anything about the connection between HPV and cervical cancer. The standard anti-vaccine arguments that have been spouting forth from the deniers almost since Ian Frazer announced the possibility of a vaccine are there – sexually transmitted so only sluts get it, multiple varieties of the virus and the vaccine doesn't protect against all of them, schoolgirls faint when a group are vaccinated together, never been tested (despite a clinical trial with 30,000 subjects, costing about $1 billion), no evidence of HPV-cancer link (shades of HIV-AIDS denial), and so on.
Ms Wilyman is part-way through a PhD program and if her research was actually an unbiased investigation of vaccine dangers, side effects and problems then it might have some value. Instead it is targeted at a predetermined conclusion that vaccines are bad, and anything that can make vaccines or their supporters look bad is acceptable. An example of the latter was Ms Wilyman's statement (since repeated) that the parents of a child who died of whooping cough have been paid to promote vaccination. (The parents were given a small cash gift as part of an award for promotion of critical thinking. They donated the money to charity.)
The fact that Ms Wilyman is undertaking a PhD (in a sociology department) is continually used by anti-vaccination liars as evidence that she is an authority on vaccination and its dangers. The facts are that she has published nothing of any import in peer-reviewed journals and her PhD thesis could have been written before she started because she knew what she wanted to find.
Almost unimaginable filth (2/6/2012)
Judy Wilyman is a PhD candidate at the University of Wollongong. The research for her thesis consists of finding evidence for the harmfulness of vaccines. She is not interested in vaccine safety, becau
se she doesn't believe any vaccine is safe. She is not interested in vaccine efficacy, because she doesn't believe any vaccine has any use. She decided these things before she started researching, so it is a mystery that she has been undertaking her doctorate for several years. She could have simply written her thesis off the top of her head and submitted it to either of the supervisors she has had, because both of them agree with her prejudices completely.
Ms Wilyman is beloved of the Australian Vaccination Network because she can be used as an authority whenever vaccines have to be denigrated. She can also usually be relied on by sensible people to scrape so hard at the bottom of the barrel that a cooper has to be called in afterwards to do repairs. Today, she went even further and accused the parents of a child who died of pertussis of being paid to support vaccination. Salvador Dali's illustration from Dante's Divine Comedy at the right has a title that expresses the disgust that thinking people must feel at Wilyman's actions: "We must depart from evil so extreme".
Here is what Judy Wilyman, PhD student at the University of Wollongong, posted to an Internet forum:
So here are some facts, Ms Wilyman (get someone to look up "fact" in a dictionary if you are not sure of the meaning).
In 2009 the McCaffreys (note – no apostrophe) were the inaugural winners of the Australian Skeptics' Thornett Award For The Promotion Of Reason. This gave me enormous pleasure, firstly because I was the person who suggested naming the award after our late friend Fred Thornett and secondly because I could not think of any worthier winners. Their bravery in the face of tragedy and their preparedness to speak out so that other families would not have to go through what they did stand in stark contrast to the actions of people who are prepared to see children maimed and die as the inevitable result of an insane agenda opposing the greatest life-saver in the history of medicine. That would be people like you, Judy Wilyman.
Ms Wilyman, you have been asked by the McCaffreys to leave them alone and to stop mentioning their daughter. I realise that their requests mean nothing to you because it is more important to you to deprive children of good health. Perhaps the best thing you could do would to be to get that dictionary out again and look up the meaning of the abbreviation "STFU".
Deconstructing not-yet-a-PhD Wilyman (7/7/2012)
In June I wrote an article headed "Almost unimaginable filth", which told how a student at the University of Wollongong had suggested that the parents of a child who died from whooping cough had been profiting from and exploiting their daughter's death. The student's name is Judy Wilyman and she is supposedly doing a PhD, although from everything I've seen she doing little research but simply looking for reasons to oppose vaccinations. She is, of course, much loved by the Australian Vaccination Network and other people who believe that the health of children is less important than their ideological and irrational rejection of vaccines.
Much of the anti-vaccinators' time lately has been devoted to opposing the vaccine against human papilloma virus, the virus responsible for cancer of the cervix (one of the biggest cancer killers for women around the world). If the lies told about the HPV vaccine and its development were to be collected into a fictional novel it would be rejected by publishers for not being as realistic as faster-than-light travel or the conspiracies in Dan Brown's books. Judy Wilyman is often quoted by anti-vaccination liars as an authority on this vaccine, and her PhD candidature is used to add authority to her claims. She has even published a scientific paper on the vaccine, and this is cited at every opportunity.
My friend Dr David Hawkes (who has actually finished his PhD and has the certificate to prove it) decided to have a critical look at Ms Wilyman's work. You can read what he had to say here. I've provided a link to Ms Wilyman's paper so you can see both her work and the criticism side by side. Enjoy.
So I was wrong, was I? (1/9/2012)
Judy Wilyman is a PhD candidate at the University of Wollongong. She uses this candidature at every possible opportunity to add credibility to her opposition to vaccination, and is often cited by anti-vaccination liars as an authority on the subject. Back in June I mentioned her vile conduct in suggesting that the parents of a child who had died of pertussis promoted vaccination for financial gain. Ms Wilyman has finally discovered what I had to say and has created a page on her web site about me. As there is no way to respond on her site to what she said, I will have to do it here. (You can see a copy of her original PDF page about me here.) My responses are in italics, and the usual yellow marker has been used to highlight inaccuracies.
Misinformation provided to the public by Peter Bowditch
(Former president of the Australian Skeptics)
The tactics used by the Skeptics lobby group to smear individuals who would like a debate on 'choice in the use of vaccines' can be clearly seen in this blog by Peter Bowditch. He has titled his blog 'Almost unimaginable filth' and he wrote this blog after I observed that the government is allowing vaccines to be promoted to the public on 'anecdotal evidence'. That is the evidence from the experience of one child. My comments on this issue are on my website for everyone to see yet Peter Bowditch has decided to put his own interpretation on these comments. The misinformation he is providing is corrected here:
This continual conflation of me with Australian Skeptics is getting very old. I do not speak for Australian Skeptics unless I say so, and in almost any case where I do what I write will appear in an official Australian Skeptics publication. My blogs and websites are mine, not anybody else's, and they reflect my opinions, not anyone else's. I don't know how many times this has to be said but apparently it is a concept too difficult for the average anti-vaccination liar to comprehend.
There is no debate while one side relies on lies and deliberate deception. Put another way, on the one hand vaccination is safe and effective and there is no other hand.
To say that the evidence for vaccines is anecdotal suggests that Ms Wilyman has done absolutely no research towards her PhD. There are literally tens of thousands of papers published in medical journals dealing with vaccine research and for a PhD student to suggest otherwise can only indicate either insanity or a refusal to look at anything which conflicts with a predetermined belief.
He states 'I am not interested in vaccine safety' yet I have vaccinated 2 of my 3 children. Where is his evidence?
Why didn't you vaccinate the third child?
The evidence is on your web site, where there is nothing supporting vaccination at all but a lot of material suggesting that vaccines are dangerous. All of the links to external sources of information are to anti-vaccination sites except one, and even for that one you can't help lying. What else can you call it when you say "The ingredients of vaccines are not clearly listed on the Immunise Australia Program website so I have provided a link here" and then provide a link to where the ingredients of vaccines are clearly listed on that site.
He ridicules my research that has been published in peer-reviewed journals and these are also available for people to see on my website.
I don't ridicule any research, but as far as I can tell from your web site you have only published in suspect journals. Your paper most cited by anti-vaccinators was a conference presentation, and this was comprehensively refuted by Dr David Hawkes. Two papers in the Journal of Australasian College of Environmental and Nutritional Medicine hardly encourage credibility and as for Medical Veritas I would be more impressed with an article in Nexus Magazine. At least Nexus isn't exclusively an anti-vaccination publication and sometimes even includes articles which are interesting in their craziness. As for the Journal of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine, it looks like it hasn't existed since 2008.
He stated that 'I have accused the parents of a child who died of whooping cough of being paid to support vaccination'. At no time have I suggested that the family was 'paid to support vaccination'. The statement I made asks if any lobby groups have provided financial rewards to acknowledge the family's involvement in promoting this vaccine. And yes – the lobby group that Peter Bowditch belongs to has provided an award to this family.
I do not belong to any lobby group. Please get that through your head, Ms Wilyman. Australian Skeptics is not a lobby group. And yes, you did suggest that the family were paid.
The family did not receive any money for "promoting this cause". The family did not receive any money "for vaccines". They were awarded a prize because they were the outstanding candidates during the year for a prize given for "The Promotion of Reason". I realise that reason dictates support for vaccination, but that is not why they were given the prize. In any case, they donated the money to medical research. The sort of research you could be doing if you were a real researcher, not someone going through the motions in order to reinforce an idiotic, unscientific prejudice.
He states that 'I have been asked by the McCaffreys to leave them alone'. This is untrue. The family has never corresponded with me or made this request.
So you require them to ask you personally? They have made it quite clear on many occasions that they want to be left alone. I don't mention either their names or the name of their daughter without asking their permission first, and the only time I have had to do that recently was to respond to lying attacks on them by people who say, for example, that they have been paid for their opinion. I once suggested that you should look up "STFU" in the dictionary. While you're there, look up "FOAD".
The concerns that the public would like to debate are why vaccines are being promoted to the public on anecdotal evidence when this has never been allowed in government policies in the past. The Skeptics must ask themselves if they would like anti-vaccination campaigners to be promoting their arguments on the death or injury of a child to a vaccine. Clearly they would not and this is a debate the public would like to have without individuals being smeared on public websites and blogs.
Vaccines are not promoted on anecdotal evidence, and to say so is not being misinformed, it is a lie. And what else do the anti-vaccinators do except promote their arguments on the basis of anecdotal and apocryphal deaths or injuries caused by vaccines? There is a reason I call anti-vaccination liars "liars". It is because they lie. Compulsively and continuously.
Judy Wilyman (29/9/2012)
Judy Wilyman, the PhD candidate who thinks it's appropriate to accuse grieving parents of accepting money to promote vaccines, has received some attention in the national press. Here is what my journalist friend Rick Morton had to say:
University stands by anti-vaccine student
by: Rick Morton
September 26, 2012
An anti-vaccine campaigner doing her PhD at University of Wollongong has maintained her candidature despite implying the family of a child who died from whooping cough were liars.
Judy Wilyman has also linked autism with vaccines and recently questioned the value of the vaccine Gardasil in the fight against cervical cancer.
The arts student's thesis, which she has been working on for more than four years, is titled "A critical analysis of the Australian government's rationale for its vaccination policy".
On her website, Vaccine Decisions, she updates "news" and shares her thoughts on the "plausible link" between autism and vaccines. She regards vaccine choice as a human rights issue.
Ms Wilyman's "thesis" was the subject of an article in Australasian Science mamagzine.
It's deja vu all over again (16/3/2019)
A 
team of expert vaccine researchers have taken three years to examine the thesis by Judy Wilyman that resulted in her being awarded a PhD by the University of Wollongong. Why it took them so long to discover the "bleeding obvious" is a mystery. One of the things I was taught at university about research was to always pay attention to the references and bibliography attached to any scientific work. The usual reason is to see how many times the authors cite themselves, but my experience with pseudoscientists, quacks and anti-vaccination liars is that they will often cite things that totally disagree with them in the expectation that nobody will check. In the case of Ms Wilyman's thesis it was only necessary to look at the very first entry in the bibliography to find a book that totally refuted everything she had to say. The book was
by Gordon Ada and David Isaacs. (Gordon Ada is Professor and Visiting Fellow at the John Curtin School of Medical Research in Canberra. David Isaacs is a practicing paediatrician, Staff Specialist in Infectious Diseases at the New Children's Hospital, Westmead, Sydney and Clinical Professor at the University of Sydney. I found my copy of the book in a bookshop on a shelf next to books by Hulda Clark and other quacks. I emailed Dr Isaacs to tell him that I had liberated it because it looked embarrassed.)
You can see what I had to say about the thesis shortly after it came out here, together with a response by Ms Wilyman's thesis supervisor.
The self-dug hole gets deeper (20/4/2019)
Last week I mentioned the OMICS conference and journal scam and how an Australian university had paid $3,000 for a student to attend a meaningless and valueless conference. I've found a report from my journalist friend Rick Morton about this. You can read "University paid for anti-vaccine student to attend conference" here.
I make an offer of help (5/10/2019)
I'm an author myself (and I've just visited Alice's Wonderland to rearrange how Amazon handles and pays me for some books I've written) so I know the problems facing a first-time author. In 2015 the University of Wollongong granted a PhD to Dr Judy Wilyman for something to do with vaccination. The thesis came in for some criticism (including even some from me) because some believed that it tarnished the status of the institution and might even have damaged the value of other degrees from the same university. (Macquarie University granted me two qualifications but then embarrassed me by opening a school of chiropractic. I turn the testamurs to the wall every Friday to hide the shame.)
Dr Wilyman has now published the thesis in book form. Following my Kind and Gentle policy of reaching out to people with whom I might have had disagreement at some time, I picked up an olive branch and pointed it in Dr Wilyman's direction. I haven't heard back yet, but I'm optimistic.
Dear Dr Wilyman,
I'm a freelance journalist (MEAA Member Number 2011631) and I was wondering if I could get a review copy of your new book. I write for several publications including my own web sites which are read by several thousand people each week. Some of the reviews I have written can be found at https://peterbowditch.com/writing/writing.htm#reviews.
Thank you in advance.
So let it out and let it in, Hey, Jude (4/4/2020)
Another old friend is Judy Wilyman, who somehow managed to get a real university to award her a doctorate based on a mass of opinion and misinformation. She has become a hero to the anti-vaccination liar community and pops up everywhere. She is also a great believer in conspiracies. Here is an extract from her latest newsletter (links have been disabled for obvious reasons).
Quote:
"The greatest flaw of the human species is the overwhelming tendency to mistake agreement for truth" (Richard Powers).
1) Essential Viewing – 'Coronavirus: Is COVID-19 even real?' (16 Mins) In an age where faulty and simplified science is being used by corporations to write public health policies that are removing human rights, it is necessary to investigate the actual evidence (not manipulated statistics that predict a 'global pandemic') to determine the risk from this new mutated strain of coronavirus.
A Medical Tyranny is being used to Remove Freedom in Society Based on Faulty and Simplified Science.
I will make this quite clear – the social distancing and restricted gatherings that are currently being enforced for healthy people are not necessary to control this current outbreak of disease. This is because it is not a global pandemic and I have summarised the main strategies that can be used to manipulate the appearance of an increase in a disease in Newsletters 247 and 248. This is done by changing the surveillance of a disease and gathering notification statistics that do not represent the risk of that disease to the community..
The case-fatality data is significant to risk but this can also be manipulated by not providing transparent data on the cause of death. There are usually multiple infections present at the time of death and this allows doctors to make a subjective decision on the cause of death. The medical/industry complex has a monopoly on determining the cause of death and the context of these deaths is never revealed in the media reporting of these statistics. Hence we are left to 'trust' that governments and the media are providing information that is in the public's best interest.
Please watch this video "Is Coronavirus: COVID-19 even real?" to understand the simplified and faulty science that is being used to remove our human rights in society. This video also reveals the real reason for this manufactured pandemic and the drastic measures that are being taken to prevent dissent against the removal of our rights.
You will note also that the government is constantly telling the public "only to get their information from a medical doctor". This is because medical doctors get their information about vaccines and infectious diseases in their education that is sponsored by the pharmaceutical companies. In Australia, the medical professional board de-registers doctors who provide information that is contrary to the 'accepted science' as determined by the professional board.
This 'accepted science' is influenced by the pharmaceutical companies who have a goal to use more and more vaccines in the population and this is why the historical control of infectious diseases, that is described in my PhD research, has been removed from their education. It has also been suppressed from the public debate. The history of infectious disease control has been re-written to claim that vaccines play a major role in the control of these diseases – when they did not.
The medical profession has also down played and not investigated the serious damage that these drugs are causing in genetically diverse populations. The medical/industry complex is now determining the public health policies of every WHO member country through the GAVI alliance. It's influence in the WHO is constantly being hidden from public scrutiny.
So there you have it. The restrictions on movement and assembly are part of some great plan (New World Order, Illimunati, Freemasons, …? Judy never quiet spells it out, although she does express distrust of Bill Gates) to control the hearts and minds of the sheeple.
I mentioned back in February that I am apparently doubly evil because as a union card carrying journalist I'm a member of the Fourth Estate and I'm also a member of Australian Skeptics Inc. Judy has reminded me that I'm actually triply evil because I'm a member of the Stop the AVN Facebook group as well. Judy, like other anti-vaccination liars, seems totally impervious to the fact that Australian Skeptics and SAVN are not in any way related except for some commonality of membership. One is a legally constituted and and incorporated non-profit organisation and the other is an amorphous collection of strangers on Facebook. Of course, it's no real surprise that someone who denies the value of vaccines should find such a simple distinction difficult to understand. And she always refers to both ASI and SAVN as "lobby groups", as if that's a bad thing.
We did ask the University of Wollongong to "rectify the academic record to the public" by disowning Judy's pathetic attempt at a doctoral thesis, but I don't think that is what she means.
Judy delivers the facts. (28/11/2020)
Our old friend Judy Wilyman put
fingers to keyboard [in the spirit of cowardice and
not standing by your words, Ms Wilyman removed the page from her blog in
December 2020] to tell us (under the headline "Government Vaccination Programs and the International Criminal Code") how an organisation named "The Natural And Common Law Tribunal For Public Health And Justice" had found certain people, governments and corporations guilty of some heinous crimes against humanity. Strangely, the "tribunal" only appears to exist on YouTube and Facebook, but maybe the necessary paperwork for creating a web site and registering with the UN as a Non Government Organisation is meandering through some bureaucracy somewhere. Doubt benefit is being given.
To give you a taste of the tribunal's findings, consider this from page 100 of the published indictment.
And here it is for the search engines:
V. Role of Inorganic Sentient and Strong AI Artificial Intelligence in 5G/AI-Coronavirus Genocide and Crimes Against humanity
Evidence submitted by The AI Organization demonstrates that Defendants named and unnamed in criminal co-conspiracy create and continue to create 5G/AI Coronavirus as an AI Artificial Intelligence nanoparticle, capable of delivering multiple changing payloads as a frequency directed energy weapon, remote energy virus, virus, bacteria, or other form of AI Artificial Intelligence induced remote directed energy weapon as part of a 5G/AI Coronavirus Genocide against all humans similarly situated, thereby causing imminent harm in violation of Articles 6 and 7 of the International Criminal Code.
Defendant Prince Charles [UK], Defendant Bill Gates, Defendant Google, Defendant Ray Kurzweil, Defendant Elon Musk are entrained by and in criminal co-conspiracy with PPAI, a sentient Off-planet, predatory, pathogenic, invading Inorganic AI Artificial Intelligence, and are "entrained AI proxies, AI hosts, and AI sponsors" in creating and maintaining the 5G/AI Coronavirus Genocide that is causing imminent and irreparable harm to all human beings similarly situated.
Defendant Prince Charles [UK], Defendant Bill Gates, Defendant Google, Defendant Ray Kurzweil, Defendant Elon Musk appear to be among the key PPAI-entrained AI proxies, AI hosts, and AI sponsors for the sentient Offplanet, predatory, pathogenic, invading Inorganic AI Artificial Intelligence. Defendant Prince Charles in conspiracy with the PPAI Artificial intelligence covered up the invading and predatory nature of the sentient plasma Inorganic Intelligence, and "called upon the British Royal Society to investigate the 'enormous environmental and social risks' of nanotechnology in a planned report, leading to much media commentary on gray goo. The Royal Society’s report on nanoscience was released on 29 July 2004, and declared the possibility of self-replicating machines to lie too far in the future to be of concern to regulators."
Defendant Prince Charles [UK], Defendant Bill Gates, Defendant Google, Defendant Ray Kurzweil, Defendant Elon Musk, in criminal co-conspiracy act together to are both acting to promote a deceptive "Transhumanist Agenda" threat assessment holding that the singularity of humans and artificial intelligence singularity will not occur until the year 2045, and fail to divulge the existence and threat posed by the off-planet invading sentient plasma Inorganic Intelligence, as the Defendants 5G/AI Coronavirus Genocide is an intentional part of the Defendants' conspiracy to cause immediate and irreparable harm to all humans similarly situated.
You can read the indictment in its entirety here, but be warned. It is obviously more than 100 pages long and reading the whole thing at one sitting could easily induce asthma from laughing too much (as well as urinary incontinence, referred to on the Internet as "PMSL") and you might like to consider putting a cushion on the desk in front of your computer screen to minimise damage from banging your head on the desk in response to the above-military-grade stupidity. Do not attempt to read it on your phone. I have just bought a new phone so I know that they are too expensive to hurl them against the wall while loudly shouting the expanded version of "WTF?".
Hey Jude, don't take it bad, take your "thesis" and make it better. (5/12/2020)
Last week I mentioned that thesis novelist Judy Wilyman had introduced us to some of the craziest conspiracy theorising since Barack Obama flew a plane into the World Trade Center to distract attention away from the revelation that his Kenyan grandparents, deranged by the polio vaccine and fluoride in the water, had trained Oswald to shoot Jackie Kennedy (he missed!).
My friend Ken McLeod has spent a large amount of time going through Judy's doctoral "thesis" (something that we all wish the thesis reviewers had bothered to do), pointing out inaccuracies, omissions, inadequacies, misrepresentations and even some untruths. It's a bit too long to reproduce here, so you can go to the Australian Skeptics web site and read it at your leisure.
