Vaccine forum at the lin Institute 3/26

[Guest guest]

Sending from the The Philadelphia-Area Science Writers

Association website

http://www.paswa.org/what/?p=42

This just in!

With all the recent hullabaloo

about vaccines and autism, the

provocative title from the lin Institute’s press release frightened

me for a moment: Should the Government Make You Do It? Vaccine Mandates and

Children

Sounds ominous. I mean, who wants

to be mandated to do anything? But they have a smart crowd assembled to take on

the discussion. (If you can’t tell, I

side with the science and not the panic. Not a PASWA

policy statement, just me — Greg)

Moderated

by Associate Editor of the Editorial Board of The Philadelphia Inquirer, Timpane, featured panelists include Arthur L. Caplan, Ph.D, Director of the

Center for Bioethics at University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine; A. Offit, MD, Chief of Division of Infectious Diseases at The

Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia; Eddy Bresnitz,

MD, MS, Deputy Commissioner/State Epidemiologist for the State of New Jersey;

and Frederic Bertley, Ph.D,

Vice President of the Center for Innovation in Science Learning at The lin

Institute.

These are

just the sort of people you want in front of the public to speak in plain, yet

passionate, language on the topic. If you have any lingering worries about

whether you should vaccinate your children, I’d urge you to attend. If

you are dead-set opposed to vaccines, I’d also encourage you to attend.

Wednesday, March 26th at 7:00 PM in lin Theater at the lin Institute. Tickets are

free, but call for reservations: 215.448.1254.

Is anyone going to this or is this a waste of time? I do not know

if I can be in the same room with Offit and not come off as a raving

lunatic when he talks.

Oh he absolutely IS. I'd never be able to sit there without responding. I'm sure the room will be PACKED with people who sit there agreeing with him. Can't imagine them allowing this dog and pony show if they even considered that the audience would be packed with parents and those opposing vaccines. See my previous post from Medscape talking about MMRV and febrile seizures. I'm considering printing that out and bringing it to their little pow wow. Wonder how they'll spin that one????

Just an FYI - the WISTAR

The Wistar Institute is where the aborted fetal tissue was worked with

with that went into the production of the cell line to produce

Aventis-Pasteur Poliovax, Rubella, Acambis 1000 smallpox vaccine, the

Imovax Rabies vaccine, the Chickenpox vaccine and the Hepatitis-A and

Twinrix (Hepatitis A-B combo and to be used in the Ebola, Flu, HIV and

many future vaccines as a

"

designer cell substrate " to cultivate the viruses.
