Guest guest Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Dear Lyons and the Letter Reader at MTExpress.com, Correction: Link in original was found to be corrupted by site QA reviewer; link revised; e-mail resent. On 'balance', Lyons' 5 February 2012 piece on the MTExpress.com website titled, "Vaccines are effective, save many lives", appears to be an example of unsubstantiated and unsubstantiable pro-vaccine propaganda typical of the average media vaccine acolyte. As such, this article did not meet this reviewer's expectations for a medical doctor who is board-certified in family practice and claims to use a scientific approach to the issues that she discusses. Moreover, the statements made in this article diverge from the facts as this researcher, who has spent more than a decade in studying the science as well as working with others to publish peer-reviewed articles addressing key vaccine/vaccination issues, understands them. An in-depth, passage by passage, review that provides the evidence that supports the preceding assertions can be found at DrftRevu_VaccinesAreEffective_SaveManyLives_b.pdf. As with all of my in-depth reviews, the "Introductory Remarks" include the following passage, "Finally, should anyone find any significant factual error in this review for which they have independent [a], scientifically sound, peer-reviewed published substantiating documents, please submit that information to this reviewer so that he can improve his understanding of factual reality and, where appropriate, revise his views and this review. [a] To qualify, the study should be published by researchers who have no conflicts of interest from their ties to either those commercial entities who profit from the sale of vaccines or those entities, academic, commercial or governmental, who actively promote inoculation programs using vaccines." Hopefully, you will provide an in-depth fact- and science- based rebuttal to those statements for which you or your colleagues and supporters have and can provide qualified documents (see footnote "[a]"), which support the assertions in your cited article and/or correct any significant factual error in my review so that you may improve my understanding of factual reality and help me to revise my views and my review of your article as published on MTExpress.com Respectfully, G. King, PhD http://www.dr-king.com The Reviewer and Founder, FAME Systems PS: If you want a "doc" copy to more easily copy out elements in a manner that preserves their fidelity, then you need only send an e-mail with: "REVULyons_PGK" in the subject line.
