This is pathetic!
Paul Offit knows better than to have anything to do with the “other side” of the vaccine argument, because he knows that there’s only one side! Pardon my language, but THERE ARE NOT [beep!]ING TWO SIDES, TAYLOR, YOU STUPID BITCH!!
Paul was right to pull out of the interview. He was lied to. As he said (and Taylor screenshotted it) on Facebook;
Liz, I was specifically told that we would not debate vaccine safety issues and wasn’t told who the other guest would be. When I found out, I called the producer this morning. He told me that it was important to present both sides of the vaccine debate. I asked him if he thought that there were two sides to the issue of whether vaccines caused autism or contained harmful toxins. He said that that was for the listener to figure out, after hearing both sides. So I told him I was out and that he should be ashamed of himself for unnecessarily scaring parents. He told me that Mike Gallagher always stays in the middle of issues. I asked him where Gallagher stood on issues like the existence of gravity. Was he in the middle of that one? Painful.
And Taylor has the gall to call Paul a coward after that rightful broadside? If Paul went before a court under oath he would be magnificent, and show Taylor and her supporters just how LITTLE they understood about vaccines. I know more about vaccines than Taylor does and I’m not even a qualified expert! I’m simply a person who has something that Taylor doesn’t have much of – common sense.
There is only one side to the vaccines debate. It prevents disease and does nothing else when used correctly. There are no toxins in vaccines as they are compounds that make the individual parts irrelevant, just like sodium and chlorine are irrelevant when dealing with salt.
It’s at times like this that I wish the USA didn’t have that wretched First Amendment, because that accusation of being a liar is libel for one very simple reason. It’s a false statement.
Here’s a true statement. Ginger Taylor is a liar.
