AAP'S TAYLOE: TYRANNOSAURUS INFEX?

Here's an excerpt from the blog: Adventures In Autism about Dr. David Tayloe, who appeared on Larry King Live last night, ostensibly to allay parental fears about vaccines.

Let me say outright, I cannot imagine for the life of me why the AAP has chosen David Tayloe as their new chief. He is a PR nightmare for them! In the current climate, when every day more and more parents quit vaccinating all together, choosing a dinosaur like Tayloe who is stuck in the 1950's polio epidemic, and who does not seem to notice that the threats to children's health have dramatically changed in the last half century, is just plain stupid.

I am going to say something here... and it will be the most harsh thing I have ever said about anyone on this blog before, but it needs to be said.

Dr. Tayloe said that in his practice that has seen 100,000 patients that he has never referred one person to the Vaccine Injury Compensation Fund. If he has never seen a serious vaccine injury, it is not because he has not come across one, it is because he has his head up his ass.

Tayloe is just dangerous.

Ginger Taylor, its not plain stupid, its a carrrrrefully calculated move. You see, you have to get someone with an impassive face, someone who shows little or no emotion, someone who is a whiz at being... well, INERT. And resilient, I might add.

"If he has never seen a serious vaccine injury, it is not because he has not come across one, it is because he has his head up his ass."

My thoughts EXACTLY.

Primary care pediatricians are so convinced that reactions are SO RARE, that they would rather explain away a seizure, rash and fever as the result of a purple zebra tiptoeing into a child's room and sneezing on them in the night, than to blame it on the vaccine.
