Antivaccinationists will be holding a Congressional briefing to attack the Vaccine Court tomorrow
Posted by Orac on November 6, 2013

People who follow the antivaccine movement might remember that around this time last year, Representative Darrell Issa (R-CA), a particularly antiscience legislator who appears to be trying to take up the antivaccine mantle left behind when Rep. Dan Burton (R-IN) retired at the end of the last session of Congress. Given that he now chairs the House committee that Burton once chaired, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, Issa decided to take up that mantle by following Burton’s lead when he was the chair and scheduled an antivaccine hearing last November, right after Thanksgiving. Not surprisingly, it turned out to be a mummer’s farce, full of pseudoscience, quackery, and antivaccine rhetoric about how we have to “investigate” the “autism epidemic.” Several months later, those of us who pay attention to these things learned that the hearing had been bought and paid for by the antivaccine movement, to the tune of $40,000 for Darrell Issa’s re-election campaign last year.

Murmurs have been rumbling in the antivaccine underground that there would be another hearing this year around the same time. It turns out that it’s probably been delayed until December, thanks to the government shutdown in October, but it is apparently still on. In fact, I’m getting notices and seeing what the antivaccinationists are saying about it, and it appears that there will be a Congressional briefing tomorrow in preparation for the hearing:

Wonderful news from DC today!

Our community held a briefing, preparing congressional staffers for the upcoming VICP hearings in the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform next month. The turnout was great... standing room only!

Canary Party President, Jennifer Larson introduced our main speakers. Mary Holland of EBCALA and former VICP petitioner Rolf Hazelhurst gave a pitch perfect presentation. At the beginning, Mary pointed out that she was strongly in favor of safe and effective vaccination, and that the anti-vaccine label was simply not going to stick. Rolf discussed the malfeasance of the DOJ attorneys who defend the vaccine program.

We screened our "Do Vaccines Cause Autism" Vaccine Court video and our soon to be released "Not A Coincidence" HPV vaccine injury video, and at least one young staffer seen tearing up. Good interest shown on the part of the staffers in attendance.

Pharma and Vaccine Injury Denialists were also in attendance... which tells you how seriously they are taking our work now. Losing their liability protection will cost Pharma billions, so expect them to fight with all they have. So as we move forward to this hearing, and beyond to get yet more hearings on the damage the vaccine program is doing, we have to be focused and committed to the work as best we can.
