I presume that for you "obvious conflict of interest" means anyone who disagrees with you? You don't have to have any conflict of interest - simply look it up yourself. The facts peak for themselves. For example she states "there is no evidence whatsoever that vaccines of any kind - but especially those against childhood diseases - are effective in preventing the infectious diseases they are supposed to prevent" Talking of Pertussis vaccine she then quotes two studies from the Faero Islands which found In both epidemics six patients of the 3,926 vaccinated died and 26 among the 1,073 unvaccinated cases died. These figures clearly show vaccination to be effective so Scheibner gets around this by claiming "So the vaccine seemed to provide some degree of protection; however, the numbers of vaccinated and unvaccinated are so different that any comparison is scientifically invalid" Now this statement is not merely nonsense (the sample sizes are more than adequate and the difference between the populations is highly significant, with a p value of <0.0001) it is actually well within her knowledge and training as a Paleontologist. She either knew she was making a basic error or chose to misrepresent data. Similarly she tries to dismiss the clear effect shown in the Whooping-cough Immunisation data from the UK in 1946-50 by claiming the control group wasn't a proper control. She excluded mention that in that trial report the control group infection rates were compared with the general population and found to be similar thus defeating her objection. This and more is documented in Dr Bassers review of some of her work at http://www.ratbags.com/rsoles/comment/immunise.htm Feel free to point out where he is wrong in his assessment of Scheibner. The most damning indictment is of course not that she errs in matters outside her competence but that she has been found to manipulate data she should be able to understand to produce conclusions she must know full well are false. is trait is all too common amongst the anti-vaccination community. >From memory Morgan did a textbook page on ad hominem re >Scheibner and the rest Your memory is incorrect.

Offit is so knowledgeable, competent and professional that the anti-vac liars have to sue him to try to silence him. He scares the cleanse right out of them.
