From Tedd Koren, DC
I just wrote to Dr. Classen re the NEJM study and his reply is below.
Reporters should be helpd accountable to the public for their unbalalnced
reporting. When it comes to medical stories they are akin to perky
cheerleaders.
Here is Dr. Classen's response below:
"A study appears in todays New England Journal which the
authors claim refutes our findings. I have included a copy
as well as the editorial. The study was written by employees
affiliated with a vaccine manufacture in Denmark. The study
borders on fraud because the data supports our findings but
the authors fail to show all the results. The authors
perform a cohort study which shows that diabetes is
consistently elevated in vacccinated groups. The authors
however only show "adjusted results" where all the extra
risk has been adjusted off. The authors are quoted in a
newspaper as stating diabetes was not elevated in the
vaccinated group. This is a false statement. If one simply
looks at the raw data one can see the rates of diabetes are
higher in the vaccinated group. I have done sample
calculations for the hemophilus vaccine and included it in a
table for you. The results are near identical to what we
found in our clinical trial. The results are statistically
significant for the 4 dose group. The results are even more
significant for other vaccines. The authors used
controversial techniques to decrease the risk of diabetes in
their "adjusted" rate. The authors adjusted the data for
"calender period" which is controversial.I will be writing a
formal rebuttal for the NEJM over the weekend." Bart
