Dr David Tayloe – Adverse Reaction to DTP Vaccination

AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS PRESIDENT DR. TAYLOE APPEARS ON THE TODAY SHOW Pediatricians are on the front lines of vaccine administration and sales. Their professional association, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), has gone even further than the government in asserting vaccine safety. AAP President Dr. David Tayloe, Jr. appeared on the Today Show immediately following the Poling concession announcement and claimed that vaccines don’t cause any permanent injuries. When asked if vaccines should be used on every child, he responded,

Tayloe was incorrect. Not only are vaccines legally classified as “unavoidably safe,” vaccine package inserts list dozens of permanent injuries that occur following vaccination, and HHS itself oversees a table of known, compensable vaccine-induced injuries that include brain damage, paralysis, anaphylactic shock, seizure disorders, and death.

Despite the inaccuracy of Tayloe’s statement that there is no relationship between vaccines and permanent injury, the AAP never offered a correction. Neither the CDC nor HRSA nor the FDA nor HHS offered clarification to the public. And the media, including Today Show interviewer Hoda Kotb, never challenged Tayloe’s statements, even though the show invited Tayloe on the air to discuss Hannah Poling, who had received compensation because the government conceded that vaccines caused her autism.

It is important to note that Tayloe’s father, physician David Tayloe, Sr., was the defendant in a well-known vaccine injury case. The child sustained severe, lifelong brain damage when the elder Tayloe inappropriately administered a DTP vaccine after a previous adverse reaction to that same vaccine.

Led by the elder Tayloe, who was a local AAP official at the time, they demanded tort liability protection from injuries caused by vaccines. In 1986, Congress passed the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, which includes provisions to shield doctors and manufacturers from liability and to compensate vaccine injury from taxpayer funds.

HRSA’S PRESS STATEMENT ON VACCINE-AUTISM CAUSATION During reporter David Kirby’s investigation of the Poling case, he requested clarification of the government’s position on whether or not vaccines could cause autism in light of the VICP decision. HRSA’s Office of Communications responded,

From: Bowman, David (HRSA) [mailto:[email protected]]

Subject: HRSA Statement

David, In response to your most recent inquiry, HRSA has the following statement:
The government has never compensated, nor has it ever been ordered to compensate, any case based on a determination that autism was actually caused by vaccines. We have compensated cases in which children exhibited an encephalopathy, or general brain disease. Encephalopathy may be accompanied by a medical progression of an array of symptoms including autistic behavior, autism, or seizures. Some children who have been compensated for vaccine injuries may have shown signs of autism before the decision to compensate, or may ultimately end up with autism or autistic symptoms, but we do not track cases on this basis.

Regards,

David Bowman

Bowman asserts that vaccines don’t cause autism, but that they do cause brain damage that can result in autism. However, HRSA doesn’t track that. Kirby and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., published this email, but the mainstream media again failed to report it to the public.
