\"\"<\/a>Andrew Wakefield’s plans to have a glamourous premier showing of his new film VAXXED in London’s West End failed after the cinema bacame aware of the content of the film and cancelled the contract.<\/p>\n

There then followed a desperate search by the VAXXED team to find an alternative venue. They did this successfully and decided that to ensure this new screening was not ‘sabotaged’ by scientists the location would be kept secret until four hours before the showing on the 14th of February. It was all like being back at an illegal rave in the 1990’s. The screening went ahead to triumphant roars of the antivaxxers.<\/p>\n

However, this has not been a consequence free revival of the zombie film. Antivaxxers most ardent supporters come from the homeopathy community and it looks like to was homeopaths who found a solution.<\/p>\n

The Centre for Homeopathic Education<\/a> claims to be the only degree awarding course for homeopathy in the UK – much to the shame of Middlesex University for accrediting this pseudoscience. It claims,<\/p>\n

The Centre for Homeopathic Education (CHE) is the largest school of homeopathy in the UK and offers\u00a0the opportunity to study\u00a0the art and science of \u00a0how to become a homeopath.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

However, its course are taught at Regents University which a small private university in London mainly for visiting American students. It would appear that the homeoapths used their relationship to hold the screening there in the centre of London.<\/p>\n

After the screening, the University did not appear to be too happy about this deception.<\/p>\n
