A stunning vaccine cover-up | MetaFilter: "Can you seriously defend quotes such as these?

'We are in a bad position from the standpoint of defending any lawsuits,' said Dr. Robert Brent, a pediatrician at the Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children in Delaware. 'This will be a resource to our very busy plaintiff attorneys in this country.' Dr. Bob Chen, head of vaccine safety for the CDC, expressed relief that 'given the sensitivity of the information, we have been able to keep it out of the hands of, let's say, less responsible hands.' Dr. John Clements, vaccines advisor at the World Health Organization, declared flatly that the study 'should not have been done at all' and warned that the results 'will be taken by others and will be used in ways beyond the control of this group. The research results have to be handled.'

Can you ignore the way the original report was dealt with with your application of the 'conspiracy theory' label. It sounds like it meets the very definition of conspiracy to me.
