FOLLOWUP ON NEWS COVERAGE OF LYME VACCINE

[Guest guest]

I was surprised and pleased to see that all 4 networks did in fact run

the Lyme intervews yesterday. I was appalled to see how " good " I looked,

as attested to by all my friends who see me after long absences and

proclaim this to me as though I am a malingerer...but I suppose it drove

the point home effectively.

I don't believe that this broadcast was seen out of New York-national

NBC had called Ira while the interview was going on and he did tell them

to call back but they hadn't by the time I left. The three major

networks covered the story without commentary, leaving it up to the

viewer to draw his/her own conclusions but FOX editorialized that

possibly avoiding Lyme was worth the risks involved with the

vaccine-once again, Lyme was described as the serious illness it is but

for the wrong reason. did say, in passing, while asking a

question, that he didn't cover much Lyme stuff and I did have a split

second opportunity to comment that he should seriously consider doing a

LOT more on it, but he immediately informed me this was not his decision

and NYC was not as concerned with Lyme because the problem was not so

big in NYC. I would highly recommend that all people in NYC suffering

from Lyme correct him on this point. In the meantime, I did the best I

could.

For those of you who have not read the Newsday article-try to do so. It

is so scary to think that the manufacturers of the vaccine can actually

get away with saying things like " there have been no untoward effects

reported to us " when they totally ignored any complaints that were

reported by those of us who were involved in the clinical trials. But

with a little bit of luck, this will stir up some investigating on the

part of those reporters who are more skeptical than the one from FOX.

Dear Vicki,

I was able to tape 3 of the 4 broadcasts-maybe I can get the audio

versions on the web somehow-I have to say Ira was pretty compelling in

some of them-I was just whining. That's what they wanted so that's what

I gave 'em!<G>

Hugs,

Alison

Hi Alison.

So glad the report was a success, except for that one jerk, I am sorry to

say I missed it, I am herxing most afternoons after infusing, and saw your

post about it when it was too late. I am sure you looked great. Do you

know if the report will be on any websites? Sometimes they do them in video

or even text of the story? Did anyone else on this list see the news report

about this? I have read that article several times, and it makes me sick

that the usual suspects are still spewing their propaganda about the

vaccine, the worms should really be squirming.....Steere and Sigal.

Congratulatory Hugs,

Marta

PS Are you coming to G-burg???
