Er, nobody's suggesting Barry said something other than what's in that post. The question is whether what he said is *accurate*. Later he told us he was repeating something Helen Caldicott had said. Lawson is suggesting that she may have said something more like "one third of all prescriptions written for adults are for anti-depressants." If so, then Barry "translated" that into what he said in the post. All clear now?
