I am not anti-vaccine. My two beautiful aunts died of diphtheria at ages 12 and 13. I have a patient who suffered from full-blown polio, now in a wheelchair. Vaccines have ended these scourges. I encourage my patients to get most vaccines, tho I let them decide on the newer ones.https://twitter.com/gorskon/status/1104858900426358784 …

You were president of
@AAPSonline, an organization that regularly publishes and promotes antivaccine pseudoscience of the worst sort, as I've been documenting since 2006. Did you do anything to put a stop to that when you were president? One wonders, one does.1 reply 2 retweets 18 likes -

The only recent vaccine issue I remember was when the State of Texas tried to mandate that every 12 year old be vaccinated against HPV. When full disclosure revealed the big pharm bucks going to politicians, they backed off. New unproven vaccine? Let parents decide.

Now that HPV vaccine's been in use for over a decade, and is driving precancerous lesion and wart rates down exactly as expected, do you still consider it new and unproven?

You best me to it. There is now considerable evidence for the safety and efficacy of the HPV vaccine. Yet it never seems to be enough.
