The Contenders:

The NAA (National Autism Association) vs LB/RB (Left Brain / Right Brain). For more detailed information on the contenders, see Autism Wars: NAA vs. LB/RB Round 1.

Article vs Article

• The National Autism Association’s embarrassing spitefulness , which is rebuttal to the Age of Autism piece Offit’s Failure to Disclose Jeopardizes Swine Flu Vaccine Program (NAA Press Release). Another key article in this one is Age of Autism: Voting Himself Rich: CDC Vaccine Adviser Made $29 Million Or More After Using Role to Create Market.
  

I am not going to touch the underlying vaccine issue here (NBC Dateline: A Dose of Controversy) , but the claim made by LB/RB that the NAA has their facts wrong. So, did Ofitt make $29 to $50 million on the Rotateq vaccine as the NAA states (original source for thus number looks to be the AoA article) or closer to the $6 million estimated by LB/RB? It would certainly appear that the NAA based their number on the AofA blog, which does look to be a little confused on this issue.

LB/RB states ...

The real honorable thing to do is to not only correct their error, but to correct the error wherever it has propagated.

I do think the NAA has a good point about the level of disclosure by Mr. Ofitt that made it to the NBC broadcast. However, the point is lost by the fact that the NAA has the appearance of their own conflict in relying on the AoA numbers considering they sponsor the AoA site. If the numbers are wrong, issuing a correction is the honorable thing to do. Not doing so, just gives the opposition more ammunition.

Short of a rebuttal by the NAA, I am chalking this one up as a LB/RB win. That puts LB/RB leading this series at 1 win, 0 Loses, and 1 tie.
