+==== Washington Vaccine Advocacy ====
+=== Who Is Dorit Reiss? ===
+Age of Autism By John Stone - November 2013
+Last week San Francisco based legal expert, Dorit Reiss, was in Washington to attend the briefing by Mary Holland and Rolf Hazlehurst on the Congressional hearing into [[:NVICP]] next month, subsequently writing about the event for the pharma/government sponsored organization Every Child By Two.
+Paid or not Dorit Rubinsten Reiss, associate professor of law at UC Hastings, has emerged in recent months as one of the most strident advocates of compliance with the US vaccine schedule, and is likely to be prominent in the debate over the fairness and integrity of the [[:National Vaccine Injury Compensation]] in advance of the Congressional hearing in December. With this in mind Age of Autism re-publishes UK editor John Stone's account of extended exchanges with her on examiner.com last August, posing the question what exactly does she believe, and why is she doing it?  Below is a Best of from last August.

+Following two articles on the organization Voices for Vaccine and its two leading advocates Dorit Reiss and Karen Ernst .  John Stone (UK Editor of Age of Autism) had the opportunity for a detailed exchange of views with Reiss on Examiner.com in its blog  ‘Anti Jenny McCarthy petition authored by pharmaceutical industry cronies’. The position, however, is much as before.
+The legal and historical status of [[:Voices for Vaccines]]
+Dorit tried to make light of the association with ‘Task Force for Global’ a sizeable non-profit which claims to be a partner of the Centers for Disease control which takes money from the pharmaceutical industry. In fact, VFV were started by ‘Task Force’ in 2008 which stated its intention of recruiting members of the public to act as advocates for the vaccination program. When I originally wrote about Dorit on these Karen was on in minutes stating:
+[[:Voices for Vaccines]] has as its fiscal agent [[:The Task Force for Global Health]]. They take in our donations and cut checks for us. Many non-profits who are too small to handle their own 501(c)3 status use fiscal agents in this way; it's quite common. We have absolutely no access to their money, nor do we benefit from their money. Voices for Vaccines is not tied to any pharmaceutical corporation or to any government organization. Thus far, all of our donations have been small and have come from individuals.
+However, the Task Force website states that VFV is a project of Task Force (and it subdivision Vaccine Equity) and CDC veteran [[:Alan Hinman]] is named as both director of [[:Vaccine Equity]] (funded by [[:Bill Melinda Gates Foundation]],  [[:Merck]] and [[:Novartis]]) and VFV. When finally cornered on this we had the following exchange: ((https://web.archive.org/web/20131115003620/https://www.ageofautism.com/2013/11/who-is-dorit-reiss.html))

-Since this platform is Dorit's primary web platform their alliance with Monsanto-Gates shills is good context. Of the many tiers of corporate propaganda this is the bottom feeder turf defending Kevin Folta but part of a larger network of industry "debunkers" that includes MSM "expert" sources [[:ACSH]] and [[:Quackwatch]] each deserving more attention.

 Kevin Folta is a buffoon who claimed he drank Roundup and it tasted soapy and he's alive so obviously it's safe. He is a ringleader in the pro Monsanto Twitterverse. The Folta scandal grew large enough NYTimes Eric Lipton used GMWatch/USRTK reporting to do a pretend version of pushing back on corporate propaganda machine with last kick at dead horse.((https://web.archive.org/web/20151103074805/http://www.skepticalraptor.com/skepticalraptorblog.php/your-one-stop-shop-for-gmo-science-facts/))

+==== Attack on Dr. Jessica Rose ====
+Posted on 2022-08-14 by Dorit Rubinstein Reiss
+VAERS facts — contradicting anti-vaccine claims and beliefs
+Some of the new generation of anti-vaccine activists appear to have built their careers on misrepresentation of VAERS. One example is Dr. Jessica Rose, who apparently started her career as a legitimate young scientist, but at some point became a devoted anti-vaccine activist. Dr. Rose’s background is described by Orac thus:
+Her background is more in the sort of computational biology that looks at protein structures and bioinformatics related to DNA sequences than it is to the sort of mathematical and statistical skill set necessary to delve into VAERS with any credibility. A perusal of her curriculum vitae, which is included on the profile, confirms my assessment, particularly her publication record, which includes a lot of molecular biology and virology, but nothing in the way of epidemiology.
+In 2021, Dr. Rose joined the anti-vaccine organization IPAK as a research fellow, and she has published several papers iAK’s own publication, named Science, Public Health Policy, and the Law, whose editorial board is comprised of leading anti-vaccine activists.((https://web.archive.org/web/20220816152701/https://www.skepticalraptor.com/skepticalraptorblog.php/vaers-facts-contradicting-anti-vaccine-claims-and-beliefs/#more-21819))
+=== Dorit's Statistical Expert ==={{ ::dorit_expert_nierenberg.png?600|}}
+Drom Dr, Rose smear piece "We know because there are multiple monitoring systems across the world that look at COVID-19 vaccine safety. Some are passive, like VAERS; some are active. In a post addressing this, Ed Nierenberg goes into detail about the different systems."

+Norman Fenton @profnfenton   Aug 17
+. I strongly recommend this response article by Jessica Rose to a particularly nasty and ill-informed hit piece by a Law Professor .@doritmi who seems to think she knows more about analysing vaxx safety data than Jessica.
+((https://web.archive.org/web/20220820012456/https://twitter.com/doritmi/status/1559901299684290561?s))
+Josh Guetzkow 🐭 on Twitter: "Recently, law professor &amp; tireless Big Pharma cheerleader Dorit Reiss .@doritmi attacked Jessica Rose's VAERS analysis, claiming she didn't know what she was talking about and was unqualified. What irony! 1/4
+If Jessica is unqualified to analyze VAERS despite her advanced degrees in applied math, immunology, virology, etc. that makes .@doritmi
+ eminently *less* qualified. Thus by her own standards, she does not have the relevant expertise to critique anyone's VAERS analysis. (2/4)
+@doritmi
+ praised CDC's safety monitoring, saying: "CDC routinely monitors VAERS data to detect patterns. For COVID-19 vaccines, CDC also engaged in enhanced surveillance." I guess she hasn't heard that the CDC has admitted that they didn't! (3/4)
+Since she doesn't actually know anything about how to detect safety signals, @doritmi
+'s hit piece is full of irrelevant pettifoggery and credulous fealty to the CDC. The fact is that VAERS is blaring safety signals the CDC continues to completely ignore. ((https://web.archive.org/web/20220817073448/https://twitter.com/joshg99/status/1559805595070480384))
