To hear his enemies talk, you might think
Paul Offit is the most hated man in America. A pediatrician in
Philadelphia, he is the coinventor of a rotavirus vaccine that
could save tens of thousands of lives every year. Yet
environmental activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. slams Offit as a
“biostitute” who whores for the pharmaceutical industry. Actor
Jim Carrey calls him a profiteer and distills the doctor’s
attitude toward childhood vaccination down to this chilling
mantra: “Grab ‘em and stab ‘em.” Recently, Carrey and his
consort, Jenny McCarthy, went on CNN’s Larry King Live
and singled out Offit’s vaccine, RotaTeq, as one of many
unnecessary vaccines, all administered, they said, for just one
reason: “Greed.”

simultaneously protests the criticism pointed his way while
repeating and amplifying the pseudoscientific nonsense that
garnered criticism in the first place....the criticism will
continue – not to shut him up, but to do damage control. Maher
is contributing to the public misunderstanding of science in
perhaps the most important area – medicine."

...immunization can be credited with saving approximately 9 million lives a year worldwide. A further 16 million deaths a year could be prevented if effective vaccineswere deployed against all potentially vaccine-preventable diseases.*
