RE: How a legal case could cripple one of modern medicine's greatest achievements. [Boston Globe, June 3, 2007]
This long article by Paul Offit, MD seems to have miraculously appeared in the IDEAS Section of the Sunday Boston Globe, now a New York Times publication, just a week before an important vaccine injury case is scheduled to be heard.
The editorial staff at “The Globe” did not feel the need to include an opposing view although one certainly would have been included if the article had been written by a vaccine critic.
It is unusual for me to disagree with a fellow physician in public but I feel that it is imperative to respond to some specific comments by Dr. Offit (below in Italics) that should not go unchallenged.
