Guest guest Posted February 17, 2006 Report Posted February 17, 2006 Dr. Offit then goes on to explain that a young infant is fully capable of generating protective humoral and cellular immune responses to multiple vaccines simultaneously. He then uses some physiological immune facts to come to the outrageous conclusion that an infant would have the theoretical capacity to respond to about 10, 000 vaccines at any one time, and then goes on to say that this is a conservative estimate! I was wondering if anyone knew if this would be considered medical fraud for making such a statement. Fraud: " An intentional perversion of truth for the purpose of inducing another in reliance upon it to part with some valuable thing. . . . a false representation of a matter of fact, whether by words or by conduct, by false or misleading allegations, or by concealment of that which should have been disclosed, which deceives or is intended to deceive another so that he shall act upon it. " [black's Legal Dictionary, 4th Edition, 1968] Misinformation: " Untrue or misleading information. " [Webster's Seventh New Collegiate Dictionary, 1972] Quote
