Who would also probably advise a good "manipulation" in lieu of ceftriaxone
for N. meningitidis! ;-)

China has also lowered their rate of SARS (by simply denying it!)
The AAP just released last month's two articles on vaccines to the general
public. See below . . .
"Thimerosal and Autism?" appeared as a commentary article in the
March issue of "Pediatrics." It is written by two
neuropathologists, Karin B. Nelson, MD, of the National
Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, and Margaret L.
Bauman, MD, of Harvard Medical School.
"Addressing Parents' Concerns: Do Vaccines Cause Allergic or
Autoimmune Diseases?" concludes that epidemiologic studies fail
to show that vaccines cause chronic disease. The article appears
in the March issue of "Pediatrics." It is written by Paul A.
Offit, MD, of Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, the
University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, and the Wistar
Institute of Anatomy and Biology, Philadelphia, and Charles J.
Hackett, PhD, of the National Institutes of Allergy and
Infectious Diseases.
