Re: Kafka dreamt it II & III - Evan Harris, a political question for the Liberal-Democrats
In order for Dr Evan Harris, Liberal-Democrat MP, to speak on behalf
of the proposed infant meningitis jab on the BBC Today programme he must
surely have been briefed by the Department of Health. Pushed foward ahead
of ministers to soften public opinion this could also surely have only
have happened with the agreement of the Secretary of State for Health,
John Reid. Did he also, I wonder, do it with permission of his party
spokesman on health Paul Burstow, and his leader Charles Kennedy?
This plainly circumvents all traditional political discussion and
public scrutiny. Frankly, it is a marketing strategy.
The real message to the public is no more vaccines until there is a
radical change of culture at the Department of Health.
