PAUL OFFIT AND THE NYT
David Kirby has quite a bit to add to the Offit piece over at HuffPo, HERE.
The New York Times ran an Op-Ed piece HERE by Dr. Paul Offit of Children's Hospital of Philadelphia today. I'm not even going to get into the slap in the face to the Poling family and the 4900+ other families waiting for their cases to be heard. Or the rest of us with a child with autism. Instead, I'm going to concentrate on how Dr. Offit presents himself.
Oh, by the way, did you see today's news (HERE)that a panel of cardiologists is recommending that docs STOP prescribing Vytorin for it's clear lack of effectiveness in patients? No wonder Merck wants that Rototeq vaccine that Paul Offit promotes to be injected into every American child three times, by law no less. Got to make up those profits somewhere. Your baby is a fine place to start.
The bio below his Op-Ed piece reads: "Paul A. Offit, chief of the infectious diseases division of the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, is the author of “Vaccinated: One Man’s Quest to Defeat the World’s Deadliest Diseases.”

Gardiner Harris, the reporter who bows to vaccines as if they are the Holy Grail, wrote the NYT article below. He's never shy about slamming pharmaceutical companies and medical studies about anything, everything except vaccines. Note, the cig company hid behind a charity to disguise itself. Gee, companies fund flawed studies through charities? Who knew?

(Editor's Note: Boyd Haley, the University of Kentucky chemistry professor and all-around troublemaker for those who deserve it most, weighs in on one of our favorite topics: The need to study the autism rate in never-vaccinated kids. Haley begins his commentary by citing the Poling case and the bogus focus on her "mitochondrial disorder."
