• W130573834 abstract "WASHINGTON—Congressman Dan Burton (R, Ind) refuses to take “no” for an answer. At his latest congressional hearing looking into possible links between autism and childhood vaccines, Burton railed against panels of assembled scientists. At one point, he slammed down a recent Institute of Medicine (IOM) report—which concluded there was no evidence that the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine (MMR) leads to autism—and shouted, red-faced, “You don’t know there’s no link, do you? Do you?” Marie McCormick, MD, professor at the Harvard School of Public Health and chair of the IOM committee that proffered the report, quietly replied, “I know it’s not causing most of the cases of autism. The level of analysis we were able to do does not rule out rare occurrences.” Those possible rare occurrences, which even the best epidemiology is not equipped to detect, is where science becomes personal for Burton. His grandson, Christian, was diagnosed with regressive autism—a subtype in which a normally developing child suddenly withdraws—shortlyafter receivingnine vaccines in one day. Burton clearly believes the injectionscaused thedisorder; he repeatedly invoked his grandson’s case.Andaschairof theHouseCommittee on Government Reform, whose purview ranges across every federal agency, he has the power to push the issue. In late April, he called another in a continuing series of hearings, and the IOM committee sped through its review process to publish in time for the session. Earlier pressure from the congressman had led the IOM to select a panel of experts with no financial ties to the vaccine industry. The resulting group has no vaccine experts, a fact that led one hearing witness, Columbia University’s Michael Gershon, MD, to later say, “This is the most peculiar panel ever constituted by the IOM.” And yet Burton grilled McCormick and other IOM representatives about the financial interests of the committee members and the report’s peer reviewers, who were subject to less stringent disclosure requirements. He threatened to subpoena financial records from all of the reviewers and questioned whether the universities employing them had ever received money from the pharmaceutical industry. “If we excluded everyone who works for a university that receives grants from the drug industry, there would be no one left” to serve as reviewer, answered Susanne Stoiber, the IOM’s executive director. Burton then questioned how much influence the reviewers wielded, to which McCormick responded, “None of our recommendations or conclusions were changed after peer review.” One of the hearing’s witnesses took umbrage at the congressman’s tactics. “Congressman Burton is alleging that the IOM was in conspiracy with the vaccine manufacturers,” said Gershon, who is chair of the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology at Columbia, in a posthearing phone interview. “[Burton] doesn’t believe in coincidences, but unlucky coincidences happen all the time. It’s time for congressman Burton to realize it’s time to move on.”" @default.
