I do not think we should write to - of course you can

if you want - I think we should focus our efforts on those that are

in positions of power - those that made the decision.

Read below:

Official Cure Autism Now Repsonse:

I have spoken with who did not agree or endorse that

storyline and was in fact distressed by the patronizing dismissal of

family

concerns about vaccine safety.Evidence of this is that Tony's,

character,

Dr.Green, did not participate in that story.

The idea for the episode rests totally with Wells who is the

executive

producer and creator of the show and who basically gets to do what he

wants.

That he was influenced by his pediatrician, the American Academy of

Pediatricians, the National Institute of Child Health, and vaccine

manufacturers is possible and even likely but totally beyond Tony's

sphere

of influence.

Thank you CAN!

Now I know who to direct my anger towards - JOHN WELLS - Executive

Producer. Lets focus all our energy and emotion towards him.

Something I found out through my inside Hollywood connections - they

originally approached to play the role and deliver

the speech about how there is no connection between vaccines and

autism, however he refused. You will notice that his story line was

not connected at all to the vaccine story line and that his character

was getting screwed over - art immitating life?

This episode was in development 6 months ago - and I am sure was a

direct reaction to the publication of Dr Wakefield's work and the DAN

conference.

Remember - JOHN WELLS - I am working on my letter now. He is going to

get an earful from me.

Moira and everyone:

I tend to get posts to this list very delayed because I'm on digest

(I get a bunch of posts all at the same time, hours apart.) I just

got the response you mentioned, and in light of that, I probably will

not be writing . If I do it may just be to express

disappointment in the show's handling of this issue and ask him to

encourage the Powers That Be to explore the other side of the issue.

(See, I'm not completely irrational...PMSy, yes...irrational, no. ;-

) )

NBC, however, will feel my wrath.
