http://www.cdc.gov/nip/ACIP/members.htm

HULL, Harry, M.D.

State Epidemiologist and Director

Minnesota Department of Health

Minneapolis, MN

TERM: 07/01/05-06/30/09

HE'S A MEMBER OF THE ACIP COMMITTEE -- OK -- really, do we want

someone like this making national immunization policy for us (read the

story below). Is this enough of an issue to get this " person " removed

from the ACIP committee??? For those of you attending the CDC rally

Check Kris Ehresman out, too. She's the vaccinator the NYTs featured in their "It's parents versus the research" carptoid piece. She was also Bob Bazellzebub's go-to gal when he needed an "unbiased autism mom" in order to dispel the "myth" that vaccines cause autism. Wasn't she prominently featured by Bob during his "better diagnosis week" on NBC a few years back?

Kris and Harry, together in better times.
