Before the usual pro-govt defenders comment, please read the article attached prior to impeaching it.

I do not doubt it. I could not believe how many people are actually dumb enough to take flu vaccines each year. I then realized the people who do are complete and utter morons, so I recently quit arguing with them on this forum. None of them are going to listen to you. Instead, they will use their standard attack, "take off your tinfoil hat." LOL, they do not realize the truth....

Yeah let's not trust the good scientists of the CDC. Let's trust a discredited former doctor and a parent who believes monkeys get autism.



Your OP was only served to illustrate the complete inability of the anti-vax movement to understand anything at all let alone basic science.

Allegations of Bias

Activist groups released transcripts of closed-door conversations in 2001 between Dr. McCormick and Kathleen Stratton, PhD, the IOM study director. Groups say the conversation suggests that the committee would fashion its findings to meet CDC’s desires to play down a link between thimerosal and autism.

By the way, let the attacks on me begin. I don't care, nor am I going to bother to respond.

Have you ever actually even read the transcripts? They do not support any allegations of bias, but instead demonstrate the CDC advocating for the conclusions established by research.

Your user title is actually quite funny - although not, I'm sure, in the intended manner.

Oh my. A group with the false belief that autism is mercury poisoning does not like vaccine safety advocates.

Quote:
"In the interest of protecting the immunization program, they forgot about child safety. They are continuing that pattern of behavior and denial that thimerosal causes harm," Bobbie Manning, vice president of Advocates for Children's Health Affected by Mercury, said in an interview.


Your own article points out:

Quote:
Louis Z. Cooper, MD, an emeritus professor of pediatrics at Columbia University and a founder of the National Network for Immunization Information, said in an interview that some of the emails and transcripts "cause some anxiety" because they may help fuel fear among parents about the safety of vaccines and the motivations of health officials.

Still, Dr. Cooper, who noted he has known Dr. McCormick professionally for at least 20 years, called accusations of bias against her or other members of IOM's committee "rubbish, scurrilous, and awful."


Hmm. Who to trust? A professor of pediatrics at an Ivy League university . . . or someone who can't tell the difference between the symptoms of mercury poisoning and those of autism?

I know!

FYI, they took the very small amount of ethylmercury out of the vaccines. Autism rates went UP.
