What a terrible article and premise. I went to the Barrington website. It claims to have the signatures of 11,000 medical practitioners, which means it has been signed by fewer than 0.01% of practitioners worldwide. Even more problematic, the website does not verify the identity of those claiming to be medical practitioners, so it includes the following names: Dr Person Fakename, Dr Very Dodgy Doctor, Mr Banana Rama, Professor Ita Rôle Italy Pudding, Dr Johnny Fartpants, Professor Notaf Uckingclue, etc.
It took me less than 2 minutes to find this information. Please think about what you post, and don't spread terrible information.
