The pulling of threads that debunked the Helena Heart Study is the same thing as book burning as far as I'm concerned.

There wasn't any thread that I know of that was pulled. It was an actual copy of the study I found that was posted in a .pdf version that could be downloaded from tobaccofreekids.org. That link to the study went dead somewhere in the five hours since I posted it on a message board and the next person tried to download it.

Now the author of the "study" is telling at least some people that it's not available. Yet it appears some folks in the anti-smoker industry have access to it and are using it.

It's obviously not peer reviewed, and it's apparently not available to those who ask for it who have a different opinion than Stan Glantz and the authors. What does that tell you?
