Lets not kid around here, this is a direct threat of violence towards people carrying ‘syringes’ i.e. people who might want to vaccinate children. I have no idea if Jenny McCarthy has any knowledge of this photo but its clear from the title ‘fan photos from the Age of Autism, that Age of Autism clearly do.
Lets also be clear about the utterly anti-vaccine message of this image. The editors continually describe themselves as ‘pro-vaccine safety’. Let me suggest to them that creating a picture of Jenny McCarthy threatening people carrying syringes in a medical setting isn’t pro-vaccine safety. Its anti-vaccine pure and simple.

Until you mentioned it, I doubt any person here was aware of John Stone's selective reporting and incorrectly used article title.
His concerns were pretty comprehensivly addressed by the response of Fiona Godlee that he links to. Why he should want to link to a response that fully addresses his concerns is utterly incomprehensible, but he does it anyway.
It's a bit weak-sauce to declare the admission 'embarrasing' when it actually appears to be of a relativly reasonable and mild tone compared to the original posts it was addressing and the catatrophising and black-and-white tone of John Stone's article.
Discovering that a sub-section of a sub-group member receives some of its funding from a non-commercial arm isn't really the smoking gun that some people seem to think it is.
The only thing wrong with Godlee's response is that she appears to have assumed the reactions would have been as reasonable as her response. A glance over at some of the reactions shows that some people have clearly taken with one idea and are sticking to it no matter what.
