I just got this from a Wired reader in Australia who read my November cover story and was following the legal action that followed. She gave me permission to reprint it here:
My name is Toni McCaffery. I live in Australia and one year ago my beautiful
baby daughter Dana died from Pertussis on 9 March 2009
(www.danamccaffery.com). We live in an area with low vaccination rates and
my family knows only two well the harrassment and lunacy that Dr Offit, Amy
and WIRED magazine would have been subjected to as a result of just telling
the facts. I read with relief today that the libel lawsuit against you all
was dismissed. From all of my family, especially Dana, thank you for your
commitment to the facts. Sincerely, Toni
