THE NEW YORK TIMES MEDICAL ARTICLES OF LAWRENCE K. ALTMAN.

Saturday, 29th of September 2012 Print

Since 1969, when he joined the New York Times, Dr Lawrence Altman has become the unofficial dean of American medical journalists. Uniquely, he compresses complex issues without distorting. When my then epidemiology professor was on Nantucket Island, he was able to trace the progress of the legionellosis epidemic in Philadelphia by reading Larry Altman's daily dispatches in the Times.

The Times has now archived Altman's articles over 43 years. They are available, and searchable, at

His >400 articles on vaccines and vaccination are at

Good reading.
