Gates and Others Partner in Vaccine Program
planetc1.com-news email to the editor
PRNewswire reported today that the Bill and Melinda Gates children's vaccine program has partnered with other pro-vaccine groups to "fight misinformation on the web."

Four "science-based vaccine websites" have announced the launch of a "web ring" that has been created to "make it easier to access reliable, independent, science-based information about vaccines and immunization."

The "web ring" is known as the Allied Vaccine Group and the URL is http://www.vaccine.org. Members of the Allied Vaccine Group include:

The Bill and Melinda Gates Children's Vaccine Program at PATH
The International Vaccine Institute in Seoul, Korea
The National Network for Immunization Information and
The Vaccine Page

Other websites are expected to join the Allied Vaccine Group as well.

According to the report, the group was created in response "to the recent proliferation of websites disseminating rumors and speculation that do not pass scientific review."

Also according to the report, it was stated that all of the group members "believe that immunization saves the lives of millions of children and adults every year." Note: Is that a science-based belief?

If you would like to express your concerns to Bill and/or Melinda Gates, you can contact: Scott Wittet, Communications Director of Bill and Melinda Gates Children's Vaccine Program by calling 206-285-3500 or by email at: swittet@path.org

Do you have the freedom to choose where you receive your healthcare information and what you do with that information?
