The planned changes include a restructuring of its vaccine charter – incorporating a proposal that “places a heavy emphasis on vaccine safety and includes “recovery from serious vaccine injuries” as among the types of expertise that would qualify someone to be a committee member.” The NYT reports that Aaron Siri “argued that vaccines that blunt illness but do not prevent infection or transmission do not have an impact more broadly on the population, so individuals should be free to choose for themselves whether they wish to be immunized.” He included polio, tetanus, and HPV shots in this category. Aaron Siri discusses his viral petition and why he wants to end the era of “vaccinating children like cattle.” Pathologist Dr. Ryan Cole gives an update on his fierce legal battle against the Washington State Medical Commission’s attempt to restrict his license. Darrlene Alquiza (CEO of Informed Policy Advocates) breaks down California’s SB1377—a crucial new bill designed to return the rights of doctors to write medical exemptions without the draconian oversight of the state health department. Dr. Ryan Cole is a double board certified, Mayo Clinic trained pathologist with subspecialty training in dermatopathology through Columbia University. He has a background in PhD research in virology and immunology and has diagnosed over 500,000 patients. He has testified before U.S. Congress and international bodies.
