CBS’s Sharyl Attkisson discusses the conflicts of interest is those supposedly ‘independent’ sources that back the government’s assertion that vaccines and autism are not related. AAP, Every Child by Two and Dr. Paul Offit all receive hundreds in thousands of dollars in funding from Pharmaceutical companies that make vaccines, they do not disclose how much money they make, and yet claim that these huge sums of money in no way influence their stance on vaccine safety.
UPDATE: Some autism writers went through the CHOP compensation guidelines to see how much Offit likely made from the sale of the Rotavirus vaccine.
According to their estimates, his share was likely somewhere between 29 million and 55 million dollars.
Offit still refuses to confirm how much he made.
To NOT disclose this enormous conflict of interest, and to continue to only say he is a pediatrician in interviews represents egregious ethics breaches. Why is this many still being taken seriously?
