on the show To The Point

[Guest guest]

Dear Colleagues

I am deeply disturbed by your choice of Ms. on

the 4/15/05 show with author Kirby. Ms.

fraudulently charged Dr. Mark and Mr. Geier with

scientific malfeasance in a review publication she and the

CDC NIP published in the Sept. 2004 edition of Pediatrics.

I take very serious the slanderous comments made by Ms.

. Although a tacet retraction was made by Ms.

in the Jan 2005 edition of Pediatrics, the fact remains that

was about the business of manufacturing salacious

stories about folks who would caution the use of thimerosal

and its causal association with autism. This would bring

into severe scrutiny any comment she would make against the

book " Evidence of Harm, " or its author Kirby or

researchers in general.

With that type of agenda, Ms. should release her case

load and consider other career choices in which malicious

mischief would have less dire consequences.

Please issue a proviso on your website concerning the

credentials of Ms. .

Sincerely

S. Hooker, Ph.D., P.E.
