Readi...I just wanted to thank you for this post. <br /><br />Reading the first few pages of "The Panic Virus", it occurred to me that the title could just as easily refer to Mnookin's POV as it could the opposite. <br /><br />Me, I am one of the Total Assholes. My little one was born during H1N1 hysteria, and we decided to wait until she was two to do any kind of vaccs because everything seemed ridiculous. Meanwhile I have read as much as I can on the subject. And yes, I have even (gasp!) Googled. (Just had to add that as I think it's funny Mnookin holds McCarthy in such contempt for her Google research, despite his own lack of credentials. Plus I think he would have given up his first-born to get to be on Oprah.)<br /><br />Anyway, thank you again for your blog. Your breakdown of the HHS roundtable is amazing; I don't usually get to laugh out loud while reading up on the great vaccine debate.Lenni Jabourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02095484606494563089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771487.post-44693304460814058022011-05-06T10:38:11.210-04:002011-05-06T10:38:11.210-04:00Ken,

What is not posted is the Ashland interview. <br /><br />The context for his comment was parents who say, "Well, this is my decision". That's me. This is my decision.<br /><br />And Ken, if he ONLY meant that parents who want to make their own decisions, but don't recognize that their child may transmit illnesses, then his comments are truly the height of hypocracy.<br /><br />As I mentioned... 10 v. 41 deaths.<br /><br />We have TWO risk groups in play here. One that is at risk from dying or being injured by the disease, and one that is at risk from dying or being injured from the vaccine, right?<br /><br />Seth classifies people who want to protect the vaccine risk group at the expense of the disease risk group, "total assholes", while he is the KING (well... Offit is the King... Mnookin is more like jester) of not giving a tinkers damn about the vaccine risk group, and is perfectly fine with them being sacrificed for the disease risk group.<br /><br />But that doesn't make him a "total asshole?"<br /><br />When it looks that FOUR TIMES the number of children are dying from the vaccine than are from the disease?Ginger Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200286625735078479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771487.post-58860185730537892032011-05-06T10:20:32.863-04:002011-05-06T10:20:32.863-04:00...who thinks that parents like me are "Total...<i>...who thinks that parents like me are "Total Assholes"</i><br /><br />If you actually read what Mnookin said, it's clear he was talking about people who are dishonest in how they present vaccine data.

By all means.....I don't know that there was. <br /><br />By all means... call Bowman and ask for an explanation. But as this one was likely drafted by a team of lawyers by the scent of it, I would be surprised if he offers you a quick explanation.Ginger Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200286625735078479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771487.post-34749065356667009782011-05-05T19:09:40.943-04:002011-05-05T19:09:40.943-04:00Do you know if Kirby & Bowman exchanged more e...Do you know if Kirby & Bowman exchanged more emails after that or if that was the end of it?
