I'm sure Offitt just reported that comment as a " death threat " .

I think Offit is like a guy I when to school with, he is not happy

unless he is making someone mad. I think he gets up ever day trying to

make as many people mad as he can. You should have seen him at the CDC

protest, he was having the time of his life. I guess his Mom did not

hold him when he was a baby, so mommies hold your babies or they could

grow up like Offit.

Dr. Healy is correct.

Dr. Offit is the spokesman for the " let's not do the science, let's

not pursue the studies " High Priests.

People like Offit seek to stifle inquiry. Real scientists follow

leads.

DR. HEALY: I think causality is very hard to prove. That is a problem

for all potential environmental triggers. In some areas, like asthma,

we will say, sure, second hand smoke or cats can trigger a child's

asthma. But that is so obvious that it's evident. In many other cases,

particularly when you're dealing with trace minerals, you're dealing

with a particularly susceptible group, that is exposed to a trigger

and it's a relatively lower occurrence...it's harder to demonstrate.

That's why the Poling case, the recently described case of a young

child that I mentioned, is important.

So, the issue is really almost one of ideology or religion, more than

it is science. It is the sense that vaccines are critically important.

The principle of " herd immunity " , the principle of vaccinating

everyone, so that you're not only protecting your child but you're

protecting the universe of children. That drives vaccine thinking.

Because of that, there is a fear on the part of some in the public

health community....if the public hears that any vaccine is associated

with any complications....they will stop getting the vaccines. So, I

think there is that view...this is challenging something that is just

too important to challenge. So....let's not do the science, let's not

pursue the studies. I think most of us would be surprised to know

that, as Cheryl Atkinson reported yesterday, there are over 1300 cases

the Vaccine Court studied and awarded as at least potentially causal

in a link between vaccines and brain injury in children. If that's the

case, we need to study that.

I'm not saying that this is proven. The problem is, the science hasn't

been done to determine that...but....there is a lot of provocative

science that says that hypothesis should be pursued.

I feel the need to stick up for (Pr)Offit's mom. I'm sure that

she was a wonderful and caring mother. Sometimes there are just bad

eggs...

Us mommies get blamed for everything

That has death threat " written " all over it.

Ugh! I couldn't help it; my filter is thin.
