Dr. Ayoub's excellent rally speech (a must read):

"I thought I would share with you some of my personal experiences with the
American Academy of Pediatrics.

My experience with lobbying for safer vaccine laws in Illinois and
Massachusetts gave me some insight into the heart and soul of the AAP. As
most of you know, after joining the Public Health Service in a joint
statement in 1999 supporting the immediate removal of Thimerosal from
vaccines, the AAP has in effect, completely reversed its precautionary
position by:

1) endorsing and promoting the expansion of routine influenza vaccinations
to pregnant women, infants and young children without a stated preference to
Thimerosal-free formulas,
2) joined Public health departments in strongly opposing state and federal
legislation that would prohibit the use of Thimerosal,
3) oppose legislative requirements that would require informed consent
before Thimerosal containing vaccines are administered,
4) failed to notify its own pediatrician members to preferentially deliver
Thimerosal-free shots even after state bans such as the one in Illinois were
signed into law and
5) has consistently mislead legislators, journalists, parents and
professionals by adhering to the outright lie that all mercury in childhood
vaccines, have been removed or reduced to trace amounts when in fact,
children today adhering to the flu vaccine schedule will be receiving well
over 50% of the total dose given before 2000, a dosage that is likely to
continue to increase with further adjustments to the doses and target ages
of flu vaccine recipients. It is perplexing that the AAP has so strongly
endorsed these new flu vaccine recommendations yet overlooked the glaring
fact that the greatest threat to the supply of the influenza vaccine is not
State Thimerosal bans, but ironically is the vaccine industry's ill
advisable reliance upon mercury as a preservative.

Not only are there numerous scientific reports from decades ago that
concluded thimerosal was an ineffective and toxic preservative, but as
recently a s 2004, Thimerosal again failed after the bacterial contamination
of Chiron's 2004 flu vaccine stockpile--- the largest scale contamination of
any pharmaceutical product in history. This failure resulted in the
temporary loss of over half of the US flu vaccine supply.

It has become painfully obvious that the silence of the AAP and public
health officials to demand a better preservative or use of nonpreserved
single dose preparations clearly and unequivocally indicated that these
agencies are incapable and uninterested in making sound healthcare policies
for Americans. Is it any wonder that the US infant morality rates rank a
dismal 32nd of 33 industrial nations worldwide according to a recent Save
the Children Survey. This statistic speaks volumes and no one in that
building should be proud of this statistic or the utter deplorable situation
we have with escalating incidences of a multitude of chronic illness.

The AAP has played an important role in perpetuating the misconception that
current research refutes the thimerosal-autism link. Three key papers have
been published in the AAP trade journal PEDIATRICS-Madsen (Danish
epidemiological study); The Verstaraetn study, of Simpsonwood fame, and
Fombonne (Quebec epidemiological study)

The editor-in-chief Dr Jerald Lucey received numerous, substantiated
criticisms of each of these studies, but has created an effective roadblock
in disallowing any criticisms to be published in the letter-to the editor
section of the journal. His response to thoughtful and reasonable criticisms
has been unprofessional, illogical and insulting. My own letter to Lucey
criticizing the Fombonne study was not even allowed to be published on the
less publically visible online forum, even though we had obtained a copy of
the Fombonne database and vaccine records from several parents proving
Fombonne's work fraudulent.

Why would the organization most influential in pediatric healthcare in
America turn its back to our concerns and pleas? That is not a challenging
question. The AAP reports annual revenues of about $70 million, but only
1/4th comes from membership dues. Their website lists extensive corporate
donors, none more generous than the vaccine makers. Their journal PEDIATRICS
generates about $10,000 per page for a drug ad, translating into $200,000
monthly. Even more money is generated for reprint orders, often 6 figures,
that are distributed to pediatricians without of course the criticisms.

When I attended the AAP's National Convention in Wash DC. In 2005, I
attended as many talks I could one of 2 topics that interested me-diagnosis
and treatment of learning disabilities and 2) vaccine safety. From the
meeting brochure I made the following observations:

First, 16 speakers contributed to 18 lectures in these categories. According
to the AAP's meeting brochure and my own knowledge of the presenters, 15 of
16 speakers had strong connections to the pharmaceutical industry, including
the CDC. One Harvard physician claimed 42 different financial arrangements
with 14 different Pharmaceutical companies! My when does he find the time to
vaccinate anyone?

It is no wonder that the message delivered by AAP and industry influenced
professionslas to attending pediatricians was crystal clear: THERE IS NO
VACCINE LINK!

Let me conclude by making the obvious conclusions about how I feel about the
AAP. The politically correct statement would be to say that key individuals
from within this organization have gone to great extents to obscure the
vaccine-autism connection and by doing so are protecting profits and
liability for one of the world's largest and dangerous industries. In
reality, let me be blunt and politically incorrect. The AAP leadership knows
very well that vaccines cause autism. We need not waste anymore efforts in
trying to educating them, we need to indict them. They may me morally
bankrupt, but they are not stupid. They have lied to legislators, they have
lied to journalists, they have lied to Pediatricians, and worse of all, they
have lied to you and your children. The theme at the 2005 annual meeting was
a celebration of "75 years of caring". It was not clear exactly what they
cared most about, their corporate sponsors or protecting their leadership
status over our nations' pediatricians. One thing is abundantly clear, the
don't give a damn about scientific truth and they don't give a damn about
you or your children. I hope the autism community continues to move forward
and expose all those involved who have put millions of children in harm's
way.

An excellent post John, thank you.

I think that what has to happen is for an attorney to sue a
pediatrician and that state health dept in front of a jury. Too many
judges can be bought off. A jury trial is needed. Just one success
would open the flood gates for all the other injured and dead
children.

Hang'em high. They deserve it.
