this database. It looks to me like the CDC is trying to do the bare minimum that they have to do to get us off their backs. That's not acceptable. That's why I insisted that Dr. Chen be here today. I just want to ask him why they didn't tell anyone about the database being available. I'd like to know how he expects researchers to use this data ifnobody tells them it's available.

Dr. Roger Bernier is here from the CDC to testify about these issues. He is accompanied by both Dr. Chen, the creator of the VSD Project and Dr. Frank DeStefano, the CDC official who is also a co-author of the MMR ? IBD study. They are here to address our questions on the VSD project and the vaccine-autism research. The CDC employees are accompanied by Dr. Stephen Foote of the National Institutes of Health and Dr. William Egan of the Food and Drug Administration.

As representatives of the people, we have a responsibility to ensure that our public health officials are adequately and honestly addressing this epidemic and its possible links to vaccine injury.
