Paul Offit
[back] Experts

[Paul Offit, M.D., chief of infectious diseases at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the Henle Professor of Immunologic and Infectious Diseases at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, is the Chief US spokesman/liar for vaccination.  The Voice of Sauron. On the board of Every Child By Two. Believes children can safely take 100,000 vaccines!  He shares the patent on the Rotavirus vaccine  Rotateq, that looks to have made him millions.]

Dr. Offit lists that he is a consultant to Merck on an attachment to his OGE 450, but does not disclose whether or not he received any remuneration for his services. 
Dr. Offit shares the patent on the Rotavirus vaccine in development by Merck and lists a $350,000 grant from Merck for Rotavirus vaccine development. Also, he lists that he is a consultant to Merck.  
Dr. Offit began his tenure on ACIP in October of 1998.  Out of four votes pertaining to the ACIP’s rotavirus statement he voted “yes” three times, including, voting for the inclusion of the rotavirus vaccine in the VFC program. 
Dr. Offit abstained from voting on the ACIP’s rescission of the recommendation of the rotavirus vaccine for routine use.  He stated at the meeting, “I’m not conflicted with Wyeth, but because I consult with Merck on the development of rotavirus vaccine, I would still prefer to abstain because it creates a perception of conflict.”

[2009 Oct] Dr. Paul Offit, The Autism Expert. Doesn't See Patients with Autism? By J.B. Handley  Not only is Ms. Pisani’s conflict hidden from the reader, but her actual quote is a complete fabrication. Ms. Pisani has been advocating vaccines for children for YEARS, everything in her quote is a lie -- she wasn’t questioning the right thing to do when Offit’s book came along. A liar with a conflict of interest -- how perfect! 
....The lack of humanity, the lack of interest in recovering children, is this guy really a doctor? It would be like the Marlboro man shitting on a non-traditional treatment for lung cancer, because the treatment uses natural substances to pull tobacco tar out of people’s lungs. It’s horrible, repugnant, and so profoundly disrespectful of parents who ARE seeing recovery through biomedical treatment, I really don’t have the words to castigate Offit to the proper degree. In fact, it’s even worse than that. Offit and his comrades are actually rooting AGAINST recovery for our children, because if recovery from autism is actually possible through biomedical intervention, then autism is environmentally caused. And, if it’s environmentally caused, then the guy who will die known as “Mr. Vaccine” is in very deep kimchi, and his tombstone may actually end up reading, “Mr. Autism Epidemic Facilitator.”
.....Offit made up a conversation that never took place and blended something I wrote on a public message board for an entirely different reason to serve his own purpose......Our case wasn’t a slam-dunk. We’d proven Offit had lied, that was easy.

60 Minutes-REMINDER of who Dr. Paul Offit is

Quotes re Offit
Paul Offit defending vaccines is like Charles Manson arguing the merits of religious cults, and reporters and gossip columnists across the country are Googling away and learning about the extreme conflicts, Congressional reprimands, vaccine patents, paid spokesperson gigs, and underhanded book deals that characterize Offit's dealings. [July 2008] The Parasites Thank You, Amanda Peet

It appears Paul Offit joined the ACIP to ensure he could influence the approval of the Rotavirus vaccine, from which he would later benefit greatly when his own version of rotavirus vaccine was approved. Not surprisingly, Paul Offit voted yes on every action he could relating to the approval of Wyeth's vaccine. But, when the vaccine was being pulled from the market, Offit abstained.

"There are two reasons why people perpetuate a lie, even if they are not the original creators of it. Some do it out of ignorance or carelessness. Others do it deliberately with full knowledge. Sometimes it is difficult to determine whether facts are falsified deliberately or out of ignorance. Whatever the case, it is important to set the record straight when distortion of facts perpetuate a lie, especially when the lives of human beings are at stake.....Paul Offit attempts to rewrite history when he argues that the DPT vaccine does not cause brain inflammation and permanent brain injury in some children....Offit is entitled to his own opinion but not to his own facts. We have only ourselves to blame when we believe everything he says." - At Risk: Truth About Vaccines, Lawsuits & Shortages by Barbara Loe Fisher

[Nov 2007] Dissecting A Thimerosal Study by Heidi Stevenson  So, the expert quoted has made a statement that has nothing to do with the study and he holds a patent on a dangerous vaccine being pushed on tiny babies for a disease that holds almost no risk if they're healthy. Is this the sort of person whose opinion on the issue—especially considering the fact that his statement has nothing to do with the study in question—is worthwhile?

It is unfortunate that most of the public are of the opinion that their physician has an in-depth knowledge of how the body works. For example, most parents assume that the pediatrician understands the immune system and therefore knows all about vaccine effects. Nothing could be further from the truth. In most medical schools, the basic sciences are taught during the first year. Medical students, in general, hate the basic sciences and see them as useless to the practice of medicine. Kevin worse, there are certain subjects that receive little or no coverage in medical education. Many people are aware that nutrition rarely receives any attention i n the curriculum. Yet, of the basic sciences, it is immunology that gets little more than a footnote.
    As you will discover in this book, even people making decisions concerning the vaccines your child will receive have admitted they know little or nothing concerning immunology. This is appalling. Anyone with even a basic understanding of immunology or having read the available research on the effects of excessive vaccination on the developing brain, would know that the present crowded vaccine schedule is extremely destructive to the child's brain. Likewise, there seems to be little concern as to the effects of multiple immunizations on the developing child's immune system. Pediatricians and public health authorities are of the opinion that they can give an unlimited number of vaccines to babies and small children without risk. Our neuroscience proves this is insane. Almost every year, these vaccine enthusiasts add another set of vaccines to the schedule, despite the growing list of neurological and other health disasters occurring in our children. Vaccine Safety Manual  by Neil Z. Miller. (Preface)

"Many, many people are under mind control and have been working for them for years - men and women who are dentists, attorneys, stockbrokers, doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists, politicians, bankers, corporate heads, engineers, newspaper editors or owners, nurses, teachers, principals, etc. etc. etc. And all these programmed people are used to further "the cause," each placed in strategic positions for use by the Council.  The technology available is so advanced that most people couldn't even dream of it. It far surpasses anything yet seen on sci-fi movies or read about in books -- total automation, even of people."---Thanks for the Memories by Brice Taylor

Offit bollocks quotes:

"In fact, Dr. Offit's studies show that in theory, healthy infants could safely get up to 100,000 vaccines at once." [Ref]

"I think questioning vaccines is perfectly reasonable. But I think that when one looks at the data, and sees that vax are safe and effective and...still...says, 'Well, I think there's a conspiracy to sell vaccines' or 'I think my doctor's lying to me,' I think that's when you cross some sort of critical line," says Offit. "What I'm asking is that people trust their experts. And that's sort of a hard thing to politically accept."  (CBS) 60 MinutesOctober 20, 2004

It doesn’t make sense that one flu strain would cause Guillain-Barré syndrome where none of the others have.   How about this flu shot, this one, this one, this one, or this one. No other strain caused GBS? What a load of bollocks, even taking his flu strain causes GBS spin, where it is more likely to be just the poison effect.

"If they were willing to look at all the studies that were done with vaccines, they would find that they are, I think without question, the safest, best-tested thing we put into our bodies," says Offit. "I think they have a better safety record than vitamins.  (CBS) 60 MinutesOctober 20, 2004

[Draw dropping lie that one. No one has found any safety study over 2 weeks for MMR, and that was done by the maker, and $1 Billion in compensation to vaccine victims, when at the most only 1 in 4 get compensated, certainly well under 10% of vaccine reactions ever get reported. I'd love to see a list of vitamin victims under professional (doctor) supervision, like the vaccine victims.]

  • "I think without question the smallpox vaccine has severe adverse events that occur at a rate far greater than any of the other vaccines that we use today. Which means that the smallpox vaccine, is I think, without question, our least safe vaccine. But it is absolutely safe if one defines 'safe' as benefits outweigh risks in a situation where the disease is present. When the disease isn't present, then one only is frankly aware of the risks, because there are no benefits." (PBS, 2002) http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/health/july-dec02/offit_smallpox.html
  • "...there was some very poor research done in England by a surgeon named Andrew Wakefield. His findings have not been reproduced by anyone who has tried. It was bad science that, unfortunately, got a lot of press." (May 25, 2001)

The rationalization
"There has been a fair amount of study which I think has clearly shown that the disease is at least – or at least has a genetic basis.......So that sort of takes out the environmental influenza and just looks at genetics I think and has – and there has been study after study that has shown that there's at the very least a genetic."--- [March 2006] Paul Offit Briefs Media On Vaccine Safety Concerns
