Wow. Very informative, esp. the numbers Dr. Simka provided.

I have a MAC and unable to watch either the debate or sub-committee meeting. Will it be posted on youtube? Is there a transcript somewhere?

I just finished listening and I am disheartened. Dr. Zamboni has made his case over and over to people across the world and nothing seems to change. The questions asked were also the same...why can't we study the people who get the treatment instead of making them wait until we figure out the connection between MS and CCSVI? It's mind boggling. The MS Society just kept repeating themselves as to safety regardless of the question.

H1N1 vaccine shots was shoved to people within a very short time and now they are concerned with safety.

Things are ass backwards.

Very true. My niece 8 had her flu shot a week later had a convulsion
at the dinner table. Heart stop and temporary blindness one eye.
Air lifted by Starrs Ambulance to Calgary. She is okay but
has epilepsy now. Makes one really wonder.

As for the latest drug worry Rituximab seems to have more
risks than originally understood. I read last
nite scientists are becoming very worried about the safety of Rituximab,
57 people have gotten PML from it. Wow. This drug has been
used in many areas of autoimmunity. Arthritis, lupus, ms, just
to mention a few.
