What is Goldacre's Law?

"I don't think there is any claim - and we can frame this as Goldacre's law if you like - any claim so stupid anywhere in the world that you couldn't find at least one doctor or academic who was willing to put it forward."

Dr. Ben Goldacre - British science journalist, author of 'Bad Science' and badscience blog

"The support by one scientist for the idea that the MMR vaccine is connected to autism is an example of Goldacre's law in action"
