Johnnie, its interesting you mentioned the financial motivation as a reason for promoting vaccines. Its that same point that is being directed at Dr. Wakefield as his motivation for creating this linkage between Autism and vaccination. There were financial considerations as part of a big law suit. If you're questioning the motivation of Doctors affiliated with drug manufacturing companies etc then why not keep the United States out of the discussion. Take a look a countries with public health systems, like Canada or the UK and these countries (not beholden to the United States) clearly think that it makes sense from a public health standpoint to recommend vaccinations against some very deadly diseases that used to be prevalent.
I think it is still a valid decision to recommend vaccinations even if it were true that vaccinations caused autism (which has never been proven) just because it would always be better to be alive with Autism than dead with some of these horrendous diseases that we are routinely vaccinated for.
Emily, in answer to your question Jenny McCarthy was asked about her response and she declined to comment.
