OBG is a look back at an “Oldie But Goodie” news report
In 2008 at CBS News, I reported on the vaccine industry’s conflict of interest entitled: How independent are vaccine defenders?
Watch the video here: Vaccine-Autism conflict of interest.
Afterward, one of the vaccine industry officials mentioned, Dr. Paul Offit of Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia– who refused to provide details on his vaccine industry income and ties for the report– lashed out with false statements. Among other untrue claims, he stated that I had not asked him for information or that he had provided it. In fact, I had carefully documented my requests and his failure to provide the information.
The Orange County Register ended up correcting an article they had published containing Dr. Offit’s false claims.
Offit also settled a defamation case filed by vaccine safety advocate J.B. Handley regarding a quote in Offit’s book “Autism’s False Prophets.”

Thanks to the thousands who have already supported!
Thank you for your work to expose this industry!
Thank you for backing consumers rights, for showing manufacturers and their salesman LIE, twist information all in the name of profits!
Hi Sharyl –
Can you do an update on Offit now that he is pushing the new covid vaccines very, very hard, after saying in April 2020 that an 18 month vaccine development timeline was “very optimistic”?
Thank you
