if your that bothered do it yourself. i'm sure your critical appraisal will be just as unbiased. if you want any info on how to do one PM me.
if you can't accept my opinion that i think vaccination should be compulsory then fine, we'll agree to disagree.

Hahaha. Very good. "Awww, the student nurse doesn't understand the real world that we doctors live in"
Actually, in order to get my degree, I had to do a 12000 word dissertation (which was mostly a systematic lit review), another 4000 word lit review, and pass 2 exams on research methodology and statistics (amongst lots of other things). I've also had 2 (unrelated) lit reviews published (in medical journals), and am currently running a research project. So I do know a thing or two about critiquing research.
What I don't know is much about this topic, which is why I'm not really in a position to objectively review this paper myself. Even if you can't give us a full critique of the paper, perhaps you could tell us maybe 3 or 4 of the most serious points which you'd like to challenge? That's not exactly hard, for someone who obviously knows so much about it, is it?
It strikes me that you've been caught out prophetising on something about which you know little. That's fine, just admit it, I'm sure nobody will care. It does amuse me though that instead of doing that, you're digging your heels in, being arrogant, and making yourself look ridiculous. I imagine that it will amuse your patients (and your consultants!) a little less when you get into clinical years or are qualified. God help us all!
