The U.S. Institutes of Medicine (IOM) will hold a meeting to discuss the feasibility of studying health outcomes in vaccinated and unvaccinated children. Health Outcomes Related to the Recommended Childhood Immunization Schedule will be held on February 9.
will this be available online (preferably recorded and as transcript)?
Why on Earth would they give BLF a platform for her nonsense? I too would love to see the transcripts from the draft meeting as well as subsequent meetings. In any event, I hope this goes forward although negative (if reported), i.e. vaccines are not correlated with autism, allergies, diabetes and nose hair overgrowth, results will be met with the usual denial and charge of cover-up.
vaccines definitely stop nose hair overgrowth - my grandpa just had the smallpox vaccine and had massive nose hair, my son has had DTaP/IPV/hib/hepB/menC/flu every year/MMR and not a single hair exits his little nostrils
"...results will be met with the usual denial and charge of cover-up." In the mean time, this will be used to say: "see, the government knows there is something wrong. Why else would they do this study?" My guess is that they are going to do this study eventually. If they wait, it will be in reaction mode, after some group like GR puts out their own study.
