Guest guest Posted February 16, 2001 Report Share Posted February 16, 2001 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.

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
