Wakefield WHAT: Speaking in Boulder WHE Boulder Public Library Auditorium (on Arapahoe between Broadway and 9th Street) WHEN: October 20, 2010, 6:00 pm, Free DR. ANDREW J. WAKEFIELD, QUITE POSSIBLY THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL DOCTOR IN THE WORLD, TO SPEAK IN BOULDER: The Vaccination Safety Controversy Is Not Over...It's Really Just Beginning! Boulder, Colorado (September 25, 2010) * U.K. author and gastroenterologist, Dr. Andrew J. Wakefield, will be at the Boulder Public Library on October 20th at 6 p.m. to discuss the heated controversy surrounding his research, which posits a link between vaccines and autism.Dr. Wakefield, whose work on vaccine safety has now been replicated numerous times, stands squarely and resolutely at the heart of what is probably the largest medical controversy raging in the world today. Yes, the research was both replicated and discredited numerous times. There is no scientific controversy: vaccines are safe and effective. Although the Center for Disease Control and the American Association of Pediatricians continually issue reassurances that vaccinations are safe, much of the public remains unconvinced. Last year, for example, 37% of U.S. health workers opted not to take the H1N1 flu vaccine. Closer to home, 40% of Boulder parents ("Brainiest City in the U.S.") chose not to have their school children vaccinated, many suspecting a link between the constantly expanding childhood vaccine schedule (now requiring 49 doses by age 6), and the increased incidence of childhood disease. Once a rare occurrence, Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD) now affect more than 1 in 100 children. Actually, you're talking about diagnosis, which different than previlence. Better diagnosis because of better understanding of the condition. An association between childhood vaccinations, specifically the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine, and autism was suggested in 1998, when Dr. Wakefield and his colleagues at the Royal Free Hospital in London published a case study in the medical journal, The Lancet, describing 12 children suffering from a combination of autistic regression and bowel symptoms. The paper, and Dr. Wakefield's subsequent recommendation that children be given single vaccines rather than combinations, created a national controversy in the UK. Dr. Wakefield was hailed as a hero by parents of affected children, but at the same time came under attack by public health officials, the pharmaceutical industry, and the General Medical Council in the UK. You forgot to mention his conflict of interests. And his unethical testing of children. Dr. Wakefield's book, Callous Disregard, reviews his research in detail That sounds like a good title for the way he did research. and exposes the reasons why powerful forces have tried to silence him. You mean that his license was yanked because he had unethical behavior. rest of garbage deleted |
