Dear all,
As a nominee for the 2014 Maddox Price and having been gracefully acknowledged, I was however not invited for the reception last night, the 27th October.
In my Maddox Price entry I expressed the concern that proper vaccine safety research is not done (whether vaccines might be tipping the balance from acute infectious diseases to an increased burden of disease due to NCDs and emerging infections) and illustrated the "courage in promoting science and evidence on a matter of public interest, despite facing difficulty and hostility in doing so" http://www.senseaboutscience.org/pages/john-maddox-prize.html
In 2012 Prof Peter Aaby called for research into adverse vaccine effects on general resistance http://www.bmj.com/content/344/bmj.e3769?sso=
Does anybody have any thoughts or share my concerns with reference to this continued obfuscation to address and elaborate on Peter Aaby's suggestion about the safety of vaccine programs?
It would be helpful to me if people could give me their reasons to dissuade me or suggest proper ways forward to address the issue to initiate proper research into possible adverse effects of vaccines (morbidity and mortality due to NCD and emerging infections).
Best regards,
Wouter
