Dr Phil Hammond

[This character is the current (2008) MD of Private Eye,  a satirical journal noted for investigative journalism.  Compared with the mild MMR investigation conducted by Private Eye in the past (last media investigation into a childhood vaccine was the 1984 Fresno Bee DPT report) his missives are pitiful to read.  A 100% hook line and sinker vaccinator.  It could be worse, at least MD isn't Ben Goldacre, yet!   You would have thought if he was going to wear a tie at least he could do it up properly.   All smiles while MMR is still killing and maiming children, while this jolly geezer says it is safe, and also go out and get your daughter Gardasiled!   Stay tuned.]

His quotes
Several ENT surgeons have written to M.D. to endorse his view (Eye 1220) that the NHS is wrong to deny girls (and boys) the chance to be vaccinated with Gardasil, which protects against more strains of virus than the government's chosen vaccine (Cervarix).  As well as stopping most genital warts and a lot of cervical cancer, it could also prevent many laryngeal warts, which are extremely unpleasant and costly to treat. The virus is acquired during childbirth and some children suffer "gross tracheal problems" that continue into adult life. This might be avoided if the NHS had access to a licensed vaccine widely available in Europe and America.  [Comment: VAERS Genital warts]

"I wrote a chapter from our book I published (Toxic Metal Syndrome) in the Townsend Letter on aluminium and promptly a letter came from the aluminium industry of America and that they protested out statements and gave a lot of public relations nonsense in their letter, and they lied, they just outright lied. You don’t hear much about aluminium from, for instance, the Alzheimer’s Disease Association because that Association takes money from the aluminium industry......Edward Truschke, the executive director of the Alzheimer's Association headquarters in Chicago, in response to our multiple inquiries, finally admitted that his organization has received unrestricted grant monies from the Aluminum Association of Canada (ALCAN) and from the Aluminum Company of America (ALCOA). He did not acknowledge, but we are aware anyway, that the international Alzheimer's disease medical meeting held in July 1992, in Italy, was sponsored in part by the Aluminum Association of Canada."----Dr Casdorph, M.D. & Dr Morton Walker (Toxic Metal Syndrome)
