PP Video on ABC.com is now online

[Guest guest]

Every biomed parent needs to see this. Anywhere between 5-10 million people in America watched this episode on vaccines on Private Practice last night.

I’m working on a transcript, but it’s going to take me most of today to finish up. Lexus sponsored the online video, but I will get a list of the ones I saw on TV. If anyone else has it recorded on their DVR- please send me a list of sponsors in your area. They are always different and I’m in NYC.

There is no direct link to the video, but easy to find. Just go to http://www.abc.com, click on “full episode” and then find the recent episode of Private Practice. It takes about a minute to upload and start working (depending on your computer and connection). Hopefully it will be posted on YouTube in the future- which is easier to watch.

Please don’t watch while drinking or while your child is napping. You will probably be gasping a lot and screaming at your TV.

Good luck and be prepared. I would give you a bullet proof vest to wear, if I could.

Sincerely,

Heeren

PS- here is an example of one scene

SCENE FIVE (all the doctors together)

ADDISON: Grab a chart. We’re checking every patient who was in here this morning for immunization.

SAM: How many of these are we looking at, Coop?

COOPER: How many what?

SAM: These little time bombs- kids coming in without their vaccinations.

COOPER: The vast majority of my practice is pro-vaccine.

NAOMI: Whether or not to vaccinate should not even be open for debate.

COOPER: It isn’t. But, I agree with the Academy of American Pediatrics that we shouldn’t abandon patients who chose not to vaccinate.

PETE: (holistic type doctor) ’s right. You can’t kick a kid out just because the parents believe in a conspiracy theory about vaccines.

SAM: The CDC is clear vaccines do not CAUSE autism. They save lives. That’s the end of the story.
