Autism and vaccines on Dateline Sunday 7 est

[widespreadpanic]

"Dateline" Addresses Autism and Vaccines Saturday August 29, 2009 On Sunday, August 30, according to the NBC website: "NBC News' Matt Lauer will take an unprecedented look at the emotional debate surrounding vaccines and the suggested link to autism on Sunday, August 30 at 7 p.m. ET with "Dose of Controversy." Lauer has lined up a set of interviewees whose conflicting views promise a major explosion of fireworks. He'll be interviewing Andrew Wakefield, the British doctor whose controversial research led millions to believe firmly in a link between autism and vaccines; He'll then add investigative journalist Brian Deer to the mix. Deer's reports on Wakefield suggest that the latter's work was built on fraud and lies; Then, just to keep things interesting, Lauer has also invited Paul Offit. Offit is the author of the book False Prophets -- a work which lambasts Wakefield as the instigator of an anti-vaccine movement that's costing the lives and health of children around the world. According to the website, Wakefield will "react to his harshest critics" on the air. I certainly plan to set my TIVO to record tomorrow's Dateline, though I have a feeling the program may be closer to a Jerry Springer episode than to a news event.

I pray that I am able to see that .. I remember Wakefield from years ago when Kyle was diagnosed and he showed exactly what the Mercury did to the human body on TV .. OH THEY DIDN'T LIKE THAT BLESS his heart .. he is still fighting for what he believes he knows which is to be the truth .. YAH .. TAPE IT FOR ME..
