High School Heroes

This entry appeared on Taylor’s blog on July 24, the day before I was transferred from Royal Adelaide Hospital to Ballarat Base Hospital.

Taylor has explained her three month absence from blogging as concentrating on media work and something called Health Choice. But she came back with a swipe at a bunch of well educated high school students who put together what appears to be an excellent documentary supporting vaccines. And Taylor has the nerve to attack for not being qualified to talk about it, when she herself is just as unqualified??

I’ve already shown on this blog that Taylor’s education is lacking. She only listens to what she wants to hear. She only reads what she wants to read. And she makes her own interpretations of information along these lines. I can’t wait to finally get Peter Dutton (the Australian Health Minister) off his arse and getting Taylor’s reports properly reviewed and corrected appropriately. Those reports are either being misinterpreted (there are some that either have nothing to do with Autism or have nothing to do with vaccines) or they are junk science. Of course Taylor probably won’t listen, but she’s not important in that regard. It’s the parents who still have the open minds (and I would hope that takes in the majority of vaccine opponents) who need to listen, and if they do Taylor and everyone else who won’t listen will lose their precious support base.

There’s another thing that bothers me. Why would the Maine Health Department offer Taylor CME credits? She’s not a medical professional! CME in the US stands for “Continuing Medical Education”. If I had time I would email them and inform them that Taylor is a con woman. Mind you, it’s just possible that they offered that to try and re-educate her. Waste of time (as her inflammatory bash on Johns Hopkins shows!).

But I do agree with one thing. There is some recognition of the delivery system having problems. Even Taylor seems to be willing to admit that. The start of the way back there is to shut down the Vaccine Court and start weeding out the quacks who are doing the wrong thing – the doctor who gave Hannah Poling nine vaccines on the one visit should be targeted for a start!

Finally, whilst the comparison between anti vaxxers and the Taliban could be valid I wouldn’t be using it in such a general way.
