“I get a lot of hate mail.” That’s the way Paul Offit starts his story of bad science and risky medicine that exposes the opportunism of lawyers, and the manipulation by journalists, celebrities, and bent politicians. Offit is a specialist in vaccines. However, zealots and special interest groups work the system to push their flawed, tragic agenda. Advocates of junk science and litigation cruelly use autistic children to advance their private agendas. Offit rails against misguided and misinformed parents who are protesting childhood vaccination programs that been successful and saved millions of lives. Doctors and medical researchers who are attacked by greedy lawyers and desperate parents of autistic children deserve our support and admiration.
