Rapid Response:

What's the Point?

As I predicted over a year ago now, there would be little change this
year in the recognition of vaccine reactions in children. I first posted
on this issue in 2001.

At a recent talk to 100 delegates at an Autism conference I was told
by a parent that they had been told that 'it was not politically correct
to mention vaccine reactions', and this from a parent autism support
group.

So, I'm not being politically correct: what is this Government, on
its high moral ground, going to do about vaccine reactions?

Whats the point of voting if scandals like this continue?
