My main point about Reiss not being a qualified attorney is less to do with her abject ignorance than her lack of professional restraint. For instance, particularly at the beginning Reiss paraded as a parent adviser of V4V, and arm of Task Force for Global Health the chair of which is Atlanta based product liability lawyer Janet Fugate Thorpe - from whom we hear approximately zero. The really big players are mostly tight lipped. Caplan chipped in saying very stupid things and then Reiss was there to protect him. If he spouted arrant nonsense he was vulnerable - if Reiss did it didn't realy matter, she was just another big mouth like Gorski, Pan or Rene Najera.

What is actually missing from this is the office holders and so called experts ever having to answer the direct questions.

Ah...Narad,

If you don't mind my bothering you again - it'll be the last time - if you could just respond to my comment provided in the link below...

...then I'd say we can finish with this whole thing. Until you do I dare say that your arguments - and they are very fine, no doubt about it - could stand to have their credibility undermined.

CIA Parker said: s the shills always say, her errors have repeatedly been pointed out to her, and yet she continues to post the same citations to the same ridiculous, so-called "studies," as proving that the big vax/unvax study has already been done. She knows that her studies do not show this at all, but she's hoping that they look impressive and most people are not going to check it out.

Agreed. She posted 3 studies on SR that "proved" the safety of aluminum in vaccines, but they had not. I deconstructed two of them because the third was only an abstract and I could not find a free full-article. One of them was a simple meta study that measured minor AE's like redness, swelling and screaming. All of the studies that the meta-study used were of short duration and did not measure any parameter that would indicate aluminum toxicity. Moreover, the only category that had a RR of less than 1 was screaming, and this parameter the authors broke up into 4 separate categories by duration to give more weight to the final tally. All other study parameters like temperature, redness, and swelling were higher in the aluminum group. This study also proved that you can make vaccines without aluminum.

She obviously expects people not to read the studies that she cites as proof.

The Dorit/provaxers don't vaccinate their children. And mercury probably isn't close to being the main cause of autism. A lightning bout of encephalitis is the cause of autism.

One of her valued poster underlings has been outted of recent.
Under the fake name of Annabel Evangeline on Facebook, whompingwillow and also uses teacozy on mothering and baby sites. Pushing and publicly saying emails were direct from Dorit.

Dorit has many that do her bidding on parenting sites all over the net. Glad to see when one is exposed.

Duping parents in the name of Dori. Some have no shame.

It's hard to post everyplace all the time, get others to do your bidding.

Dorit Reiss, sadly, blind sheep or paid shill -either way,she's invested in GSK and the payroll of some other corrupt medical mafia, I pity the corrupt pebbles she travels on. She does not seem quite with it, and can only regurgitate the same denial and pointless dribble such as "vaccines weren't proven to cause those deaths". How sad not to have a conscience at all. How sad to have sold your soul to the devil, and yet be a parent yourself and show zero compassion to all of those who have died or been disabled at the hands of her immoral payroll. I would say she is laughable, but the industry she is in takes lives, that Dorit does not even deem as being worth $250,000 as she fights even that possibility. She reminds me of one of the Tobacco executive puppets of a few decades back spouting "tobacco is safe. Coz I said so...".

Dorit is not articulate at all, does not exhibit intelligenct thought process but Cognitive Dissonance instead. She is a rather pathetic bully, to be pitied. She is not a gadfly, just an annoying pest.
Block her.

Advice,
I don't think Dorit is that good. While she is surely irritating, she's easily shown to be wrong. And she isn't a lawyer - never took (or passed) the bar. She describes herself as an academic.

Starve the Efforts,
I agree with Linda. Regardless of who or what is generating money, the reason why this is so important is that many uninformed people read our comments: that is why they are paying DR big bucks. If we do not provide correct information to these people, most of them will never learn it, and many of them will be gravely harmed by their lack of knowledge.

D. Reiss could also be earning money through Disqus (and/or other types of programs/schemes) for her comments, or earning website traffic, etc. If that's the case, then the vaccine issue would certainly generate a lot of responses, but an immoral choice to use the suffering of others to make money/website traffic, etcetera. The best position to take would probably be to starve her efforts by not responding to her at all.

Linda, maybe you could email me at [email protected]
I think I have a good idea as to the answer to your question.

Speaking of what scientists don't know:

Polio-Like Illness Paralyzes 5 Kids in California

"“He had normal immunity to polio and we knew it couldn’t be polio,” she said."

http://www.nbcnews.com/health/kids-health/polio-illness-paralyzes-5-kids-california-n34981

The article directed at the American public briefly mentions that "similar outbreaks have been reported in children in Asia and Australia". What they don't tell the American public, is that in Asia there is a name for it - non-polio Acute Flaccid Paralysis (NPAFP), and in India alone, there have been "53,563 cases...in the last 13 months". Mustn't alarm the American public with the truth or facts.

http://www.mapsofindia.com/my-india/india/sharp-rise-in-non-polio-acute-flaccid-paralysis-after-polio-free-status

Cia,
Dorit is busted. She said, "Vaccines are very well understood by immunologists."
Then why does Krummel (a vaccine researcher, UCSF) say:
"The discovery is important, Krummel said, because it sheds light on an aspect of medicine that has long been obscure: how vaccines work. “We know that they are effective for years after a vaccination, but we don’t know why. It seems that T-cell aggregation is a profound part of the reason.”
In fact just google up "'but we don't know why', vaccines" and you will see how much it is they "know" about vaccines.
I don't think anybody is impressed with her politeness, she is an obvous paid troll.

Thank you, everyone, for your kind words. And Liquidambar, I just said exactly what you said on the Mother Earth News article about the US maps showing vaccine exemptions, what states it's easy to get an exemption in, etc. DR had been invited today to come in and take me on. She said she knew that what she said hurt me, I said that nothing she said hurt me, I knew she was just rolling out the vaccine-defense spiel required by her job.
Check out Shot of Prevention. Dorit is posting one part a week of a five-part series on why parents should be sued if they don't vax, and how religious exemptions are a crock. This is the latest strategy dreamed up by BP, to scare vaccine-hesitant parents with the thought of losing everything they have in a lawsuit if they don't vax. Fear of chickenpox and measles diminishing? Let's scare them with the thought of losing their house and everything they've got if they don't do what we tell them to. Vaccines as the 21st century indulgence, you gotta pay for them if you want to live. This week is the second part, on how children can sue their parents for not vaxing them when they come of age, or if they are placed in foster care the foster parents or the state can and should be allowed to sue.
I said the other day to a really nasty guy on the Mother Earth (or is it Mother Jones?) article to please continue insulting vaccine-damaged parents, he was only pushing people into my corner with his nastiness.

TaxieMom;
It IS coming to that.
First the mention of getting rid of medical junk law suits by President Bush. I think he is a good man; it is just that some one had his ears, which proves to me that there are tons of people working behind the scenes on his.

A huge big health care bill was passed next and President Obama has talks behind close doors to the pharma company. Not only that but the Republican party was completely shut out on the whole thing

I don't know about you all; but our health insurance is our most expensive item -- but I am sure the electricity is starting to squeeze out the rest of what we have.

So the Republicans are talking about how we can lower health care cost and those medical junk law suits again.

Taximom,

You are 100% correct about the yellow stars.

Cia,

Actually one of the things which is interesting is that the manufacturers' product information warns about encephalitis and CDC do not. Fundamental to the deception is that the health officials lie while the manufacturers cover themselves. This is not informed consent.

Particularly for Dorit Reiss it is not much of an excuse if the manufacturers are covering themselves: that is the whole point is it not?

Dorit just said here:
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/01/30/the-real-reason-pediatricians-want-you-to-vaccinate-your-kids.html#url=/articles/2014/01/30/the-real-reason-pediatricians-want-you-to-vaccinate-your-kids.html

that the encephalitis is not a listed reaction to the hep-B vaccine. I got a post up this morning with links to two package inserts, Engerix and Recombivax, with encephalitis on their lists of possible side effects. Of course they're going to say that the side effects listed there are just for legal purposes to shield them from lawsuit (I thought they already were), that in reality it had never, ever caused encephalitis. I had a comment up this morning about Judy Converse having had her son react just the way my daughter did, and they couldn't even get a doctor to look at him during his encephalitic screaming. And yet, regardless of the medical corruption and negligence and failure to diagnose his encephalitis, Congress invited her to testify to give her compelling account of severe damage caused by the encephalitis triggered by the hep-B vaccine. I said that vaccine encephalitis could present with symptoms like the prolonged, inconsolable screaming of my daughter, or "just" excessive somnolence or blank staring episodes. And then the parents are mystified to explain it when the child is later diagnosed with autism etc. But now it's no longer there, the editors of the Daily Beast took it down. The editors of the Mother Earth News have taken down several of my comments, including this morning citations of studies proving that the pertussis vaccine causes SIDS. It's hard to see how this stunning number of supposedly educted, decent journalists are going to face up to their crimes in collaborating with the enemy and prolonging this situation of doctors knowingly crippling millions of people for life. All they have to do is look up the citations to see that they are true.

@ciaparker No doctor has diagnosed your daughter with encephalitis. Your belief that she has encephalitis is not enough: with all due respect, that's not a medical diagnosis. Encephalitis is a medical emergency, and if she had it, you'd see more than crying - and you yourself mention no immediate problems in the year and more until the autism diagnosis. Encephalitis is not a listed adverse reaction to the Hepatitis B vaccine, either.
Vaccines do not cause autism or MS, studies show. They are very safe. What they do do is prevent dangerous diseases. You can argue whether it's appropriate for a doctor to refuse service to those who do not vaccinate - but you should do that based on accurate facts. Not anti-vaccine misinformation.

@DoritReiss @ciaparker Some Hep B inserts, which both list encephalitis as a possible side effect of the vaccine.

Regarding Dorit Reiss, I think it is pretty brazen for a mother to chastise and threaten to sue other mothers who witnessed their own children regress after getting multiple vaccines. Talk about hutzpah. She should count her lucky stars her child is healthy and not dealing with a debilitating, chronic neurological condition triggered by vaccines. She doesn't even have a dog in the fight so to speak so why is she involved in this issue at all? Maybe honing her debating skills. I see her as overly analytical and emotionally disconnected and someone who has to be right even if she is dead wrong.

Here is Reiss instructing her group of fake pharma "grassroots" activists as to how she will plan to sue parents who do not vaccinate. https://www.dropbox.com/s/tiz2ulxptruszmi/Vaccines%20and%20the%20Law-%20Sept%2018%2C%202013.mp3

It would be interesting to see an infographic with vax ties like Cornucopia did for the organic food sector: http://www.cornucopia.org/who-owns-organic/

I was curious to see what the usual age for cervical cancer is. Went to WebMD and guess what? They don't say, at least on the summary page for cervical cancer, I imagine because they don't want to make it less threatening to young girls and women and their parents. They also make the treatment for cervical cancer as frightening as they can make it, listing chemo, radiation and total hysterectomy before later adding that if caught very early maybe a hysterectomy won't won't be necessary. http://www.webmd.com/cancer/cervical-cancer/cervical-cancer-topic-overview

There's another more detailed area where they say the vaccine protects for 5 years (as Dr. Harper said):
"The vaccine protects against the four types of HPV for at least 5 years. Studies are under way to see how long the vaccine will last and if a booster shot is needed after 5 years.1 A booster shot is another dose of the vaccine given after the first series of shots."

Bayereamom,
I remember her from Dr. Sears' blog, too, as well as Caterina, who also interfered every single day. The two of them would answer the questions as soon as they went up, and often long before Dr. Sears got there, with their pro-vax message. Of course his message was basically pro-vax too, but they just did it to bring his site down. Proffit wrote a horrible hit article on Dr. Sears' book etc., which Dr. Sears rebutted, I don't know how much of an influence that had. It was a shame, I enjoyed reading his articles and the questions on his site The Vaccine Book.

Yes, I agree the sheer volume of posts is remarkable.
She seems to be an example of a PAO gone wrong- Patient Advocate Organization, as described in the symposium here
Item 5
http://www.ethics.harvard.edu/lab/featured/325-jlme-symposium

@ASD Mom:

"Science Mom" rings a bell. I used to post at a Babycenter.com vaccine debate forum. Guess who STILL posts over there to this day? Yeppers. Science Mom.

I don't even think she's a U.S. citizen; she's Canadian, I believe, but don't quote me. Claims to have an academic background in science and of course, is rabidly pro-vaccine.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention. Babycenter.com is owned by Johnson & Johnson...

Science Mom also contributed to the demise of Dr. Sears' Q&A forum re: vaccines. I believe, at least in part, that he had to close down that forum because of Science Mom's incessant intrusions.

Of course, when queried, SM would vehemently deny she had any sort of big pharma connections and would accuse those of us of whom had those suspicions, that we were some sort of conspiracy theorists.

We know, or most of us do, that the tobacco industry used to employ academics and scientists who were masquerading as disinterested parties just following logic and facts. Because other industries adopted tobacco's playbook, it's safe to assume that some percentage of vaccine apologists are ringers. But they're not going to tell us who they are now, are they? The public has to figure that out using the available information.

Another example of Dorit's dishonesty. On a My Fox Austin story on vaccines in August, Dorit posted these three examples as proof that the vax/unvax study has already been done, and that it shows that vaccines do not cause autism.

"At least two studies compared children according to the rates of vaccines they receive. This study also included completely unvaccinated children: http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/125/6/1134.abstract; and this one included children with very low levels of vaccination: http://jpeds.com/webfiles/images/journals/ympd/JPEDSDeStefano.pdf. No differences were found. This study addressed immunized and nonimmunized siblings of children with autism: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23045216 and concluded: "The rates of autism spectrum disorder diagnosis did not differ between immunized and nonimmunized younger sib groups, although small sample size limits interpretability of this result."
Given the work already done, if you want more retrospective studies, I think you need to make a case why it is worth investing valuable dollars in this instead of other things."

My detailed rebuttal of her claims has been taken down, but there are still rebuttals by Inside Vaccines and others which explain why these studies show nothing of the kind. In one there was only one completely unvaxed child. One showed that children who delayed receipt of vaccines did not have different rates of autism than ones who got them on time. Big deal. One was a small sibling study, less than a hundred kids total. One was the Di Stefano study about identical antigen (disease pathogen only) levels between vaxed and unvaxed kids who got the standard vaccines in the 1980s, which AoA desconstructed last March. As the shills always say, her errors have repeatedly been pointed out to her, and yet she continues to post the same citations to the same ridiculous, so-called "studies," as proving that the big vax/unvax study has already been done. She knows that her studies do not show this at all, but she's hoping that they look impressive and most people are not going to check it out.

Inside Vaccines

@no-vac, I think you are quite likely to be correct. Either that, or she has a serious OCD thing going on.

But we're whistling in the dark unless we can show hard evidence. And I think the evidence is out there (unless she/they start deleting posts). And if we can show all those posts, that will, I think, convince a lot of people.

I really would like someone to find and add up all her posts on various news sites, blogs, FB, etc, especially during the week following the Katie Couric show.

See, even doing that kind of research would take far less time than the kinds of posts she's doing--and it's more time than I have! (Though probably your average high schooler could do it in a minute flat...)

Tim,
The halls of medicine are a very dirty place. Professor Reiss in her calm measured way, is fighting to keep it that way. It's nasty and it's making people sick. Many die. Keep looking. Check the corners. Pick up the carpet. Then you'll also wonder why she's doing it.

You say you personally haven't been paid to agree with Pharma? Here's an exercise for you. Ask your doctor where his office's lunch comes from. Ask a medical student who wrote, published and "donated" his textbooks. Go to the universities and ask where their research funding comes from. Go to the NIH, CDC, FDA, and ask what is their financial affiliation with Pharma (don't overlook the revolving door of those who after promoting Pharma products as government experts go on to highly paid positions within Pharma)? Go to any medical conference and see who funded it. Ask the AMA, AAP, ACOG, etc., how much they receive from Pharma each year? Ask how much Pharma donated to build their association's buildings? Go ahead. Now go to the media that the public relies on for information and reporting on currents events in government, science and medicine. Find out what would be left to fund television and print media if Pharma withdrew its advertising dollars. Oh, and go and ask members of Congress how much Pharma has donated to them in each year that they've been in office and to get them into office.

See, Tim, they might not be paying you, but they're paying enough people around you to keep you in the dark. So please take a closer look. Then please come back and let us know again what you think of Professor Dorit Reiss.

I do not expect this to see the light of day, but l know Dorit as a calm, measured and reflective person who quietly applies the letter and spirit of the law according to evidence, statute and established case.
I cannot comment on her finances, other than to say that I have never been recruited by Big Pharma, Big Vegetarian or Big Cycling to promote their goods and services, despite being an advocate for many of their policies, so it is unlikely in the same way you are probably not paid by Big Wakey or Big Merola or Big Homeopathy.
Attacking a person, rather than the evidence or logic, does nothing to strengthen your arguments and merely makes you appear mean spirited rather than dedicated advocates for fair treatment.
My email address relates to a band , not any mental state.

If vaccines do in fact cause or worsen the autistic condition, this should be the primary focus of research, so we can mitigate the damaging effects. Instead, we find, despite the evidence showing vaccines do in fact harm SOME people, thus leading to autism, we find rabid denial, vicious attacks and a campaign to villify any parent that dares to say their child was damaged by vaccines. I find this very suspect. Very odd. Perhaps it's true that when some people are so influenced by promotions and money they simply fail to see the reality set before them. No longer are they able to see the damage caused by the product that finances their education and philosophical agenda. In that, they become emotionally and spiritually compromised, rendering them puppets and pawns in a controversy that demands honestly, integrity, courage and COMPASSION.

Bugs under glass, thanks for posting that FaceBook link.

What time zone is AoA's FaceBook page in? Somehow, I kind of doubt that a working mother of a young child would spend time on FaceBook, ON THE PAGE OF A GROUP WITH WHOM SHE STRONGLY DISAGREES, at midnight, then the next morning at 8 am, then the next night/morning at 2 am.

When I was trying to balance young children with work, it was all I could do to keep up with the laundry, and I wasn't even on the internet then.

Can anyone else find posts by her during those same days, anywhere else?

I think it would be pretty damning evidence if anyone could find hundreds of posts in that time frame...or during any other similar time frame.

Sorry for the bad grammar and sentence structure in prior post---long, tiring day.

I find that Dorit's comments on the blogs and attacks on families who have vaccine injured children beligerent, demeaning, mean spirited...but, mostly unprofessional. Her attacks and volume of posts indicate to me that her motives are questionable. I ask her and anyone else to walk in the shoes of the injured, their once healthy lives ruined...CAUSED...by the vaccine. Her attempts at trying to discredit and demean these families is vile. These families and those injured have suffered more than they should have and more than she will ever know and care to acknowledge. To be subjected to her merciless comments is not right. Her actions should be reported to the American Bar Association for her bullying antics. It is a disgrace that a conversation cannot be had on a public forum that raises awareness for every parent to investigate and make their own decisions regarding any vaccine. It is not surprising that the affiliations with Kaiser, the law school and Merck are present.

Dorit Reiss and a tag-teaming group of Skeptics who all belong to Skeptic front group hubs like "Jenny McCarthy Body Count" and "Stop the Australian (Anti) Vaccination Network" simultaneously appeared on the Age of Autism Facebook page back in July. It's a relatively long thread. https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=566017186770642&id=183383325034032&comment_id=85896608&offset=0&total_comments=24

The little Skeptic gaggle vehemently denies that their appearance was coordinated with Reiss. In any case, she has an awful lot of time on her hands for someone with an academic legal career and a child. It would appear this is her career and, furthermore, it would appear that her direct interactions and eliciting responses from consumers on comments sections may be part of her research.

If that's the case, she would be one of those really creepy hands-on types of researchers that doesn't mind directly witnessing the painful paroxysms of their "subjects" when the shock machine is fired up and likes to personally flip the switch. Readers on AofA are largely parents of catastrophically injured and sometimes deceased children. On the thread, Reiss's Skeptic "assistants" can be seen at times interrogating readers as to their reasons for not complying with the vaccine schedule. Then Reiss and friends disappear quite quickly when it was suggested that she did not have "expressed consent" from readers or the forum to use readers' statements for any kind of intel gathering or research work. Her final statement was to argue that she didn't need permission.

CMO
To my horror; my daughter is one of those adults that are up on her DTaP shot.

It has been a he double hockey sticks this year.

Pardon my French - too -- Joy B.

DORIT is a liar.
Period.
We know it
Liar DORIT -- LIAR.

So what is the term for this type of money laundering - whose your Daddy, as you spend hours upon hours on the computer blogging? . I get this image of a blood shot eyed lady with fingers flying across the key board till smoke is rising around her --half way hiding her house or office (take your pick) which is in complete dis a ray. Her surroundings is in a mess - because it takes time to write -- esp when you are trying make nonsense sound reasonable.

And Bob Moffit thanks for the list of companies that provided the public with useful information.

It never ends really though does it.

Yes because people who have unencumbered access to vaccines must spend every hour God sends (in conjunction with their familial and employment responsibilities) defending vaccination, coercing others to vaccinate and for free no less!

All this posting on school time at Hastings? Strange. May be it's better than doing it on her poor kids' time.

always follow the money/influence, backing trail...it always leads to the worshipal alter of vaccines for everyone regardless if you have an immune or metabolic insufficiency...sacrifice thyself to the greater good, the beyond what we can see argument....

Suddenly I feel the corral pen around me....bah bah bah....moo moo moo....this way gentlemen...you get a nice ride to this factory with pretty lights...and cutting devices...scene blacks out...your now in cow and sheep heaven..wondering...what the hell happened to me?

So Dorits strategy is to try to silence the canary.
Instead of "do no harm" she would cause further harm
to families already hurt by vaccine injury. Well folks I always wondered how Hitler managed to snow everyone, how even the smartest people could not see it until it touched them.
I now see how evil works,
Bit by bit.
Denial by denial.
Motivated by hatred , authoritarianism, paternalism, lies, and silencing.
Those who speak out about vaccine injury are angry but motivated by love for out children. Those who attack us are motivated by denial and hatred. Only someone motivated by hatred would say some of te cruel things I have seen posted by the likes of dorit. She refuses to see because it would cost her career. There is no money in telling our truths. There is lots of money in telling their lies.

God save us from the wicked witch of the west. No compassion no shame greed and cruelty. Instead of fixing the issues with vaccines kill the messengers.
Some country is going to figure out that we are exporting autism. And their wrath, not watered down by pharma bribes, will be enormous.

Wow. So the insert of every vaccine points out it is counter indicated or hasn't been tested for pregnancy, allergies, or administration with other vaccines. If you go against this and your child is harmed you are toast with no recourse. If you don't vaccinate and some other kid gets the latest flu you can be sued? This is the craziest thing I have ever heard. And why is kaiser who prides itself on the fact that they don't allow doctors to be wined and dined by drug company reps --why are they as an organization according money from Merck to do "studies". They know this is against their principals of independence. They have gone to the dark side. Wow. How insanely cruel to target parents to make them pay for the flaws of industry. The liability for the flaws of the product already does fall on parents as we have no recourse if our child is injured.
Now they want us to pay again ...I truly think this will backfire . And I truly think purgatory for these people will consist of great pain and no way to communicate until they finally get the empathy they are lacking for this trap.

Interesting situation here. A law prof, working at a school that has turned out to be for all intents another of the varied arms of pharma babble distribution in disguise, makes so many seemingly independent posts in the guise of concerned parent defending Gardasil, all the while asserting she has no vested interest in doing so, that she has little to no time to do her job. She admits she's on the clock at the school while doing this, so the school should either be cracking down on her use of their time, or they are telling her to do this. It doesn't look like that have cracked down. The studies she cites in defense of Gardasil are done by or on behalf of its maker. How do they think people can't see the blatant lack of independence? Then to top it all off, there's a reason they are using a law expert to do this work. Tort law against non vaccinated kids infecting the vaccinated? Now it's official. Brace for another big wave everybody.
