"A foolish faith in authority is the worst enemy of truth."

-- Albert Einstein, letter to a friend, 1901

"I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves, and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education."

-- Thomas Jefferson, letter to William C. Jarvis, September 28, 1820

* ►March 11, 2010 - School refuses access for Gardasil vaccine - www.stuff.co.nz - "The school's decision comes only days after Wellington woman Rhonda Renata publicly blamed the Gardasil vaccine for the death of her 18-year-old daughter last year. Jasmine died in September, six months after she received the last of the three injections of the vaccine. Ms Renata said "right from the first shot" Jasmine complained of ailments including headaches, weak limbs, pins and needles, abdominal and chest pains, and a racing heartbeat. She is now waiting for answers from the coroner. Meanwhile, Timaru mother Julie Smith has started a website, www.offtheradar.co.nz, out of concern about the vaccine as she researched it."

* ►March 10, 2010 - Rapid Responses: Why did the Lancet take so long? Patient Confidentiality - John A. Dodge, Hon. Professor of Child Health University of Wales Swansea - journal article (BMJ) - " It is particularly surprising that a journalist for a lay newspaper under orders to find a big story (Mr Deer's own words) could persuade a respected teaching hospital to give him such data. Did the request go to the research ethics committee? Did he obtain written consent from the parents? Was he not given instructions to destroy all information which could possibly identify individuals as soon as he had extracted what he needed, in which case he should no longer hold names and addresses? Remembering the threat of litigation if journalists should try to reveal the immunisation status of the child of the then Prime Minister, I can only conclude that Mr Deer either covered his back and went through the correct procedures, or else that he assumed that the parents would have no appetite, or money, to take him, his newspaper or the hospital Trust to court for violating their privacy. I await his clarification with interest."
