Hopefully we'll look at the whole issue of reimbursement for preventative category of services.

I've been a big supporter of that Children's Study, and I have used my position on this subcommittee to make sure that we continue the funding for it, and keep it going.

Well, I guess what I don't understand is how you can have a study involving hundreds of thousands of children and all with the same number of vaccines, because they're all getting the same number, before the age of 2?

Yes, I get confused when we get into this area, because I just wanted to focus on the number of vaccines, and the fact that they're all given together, a lot of times, before the age of 2.

Well, that is true. And that is why I say--we have got to do both--the research on the causes and the triggers, but also interventions.

Well, thank you very much, Dr. Insel.

I ask that you particularly look at this, particularly when you're confirming a new NIH director.

I should have looked at that before I said it.

So, your group, this interagency group, is actively out there looking at different interventions and trying to find out which ones work best and--are you also promoting different types of--in other words, are you instigating different…

The vaccines that were there then that we're using now are----

The problem is, we don't know. We don't know if 29 vaccinations--immunizations--by the age of 2 do have an effect.

Can we afford not to put the money into research and treatment if these are the numbers that we're looking at?

I beg you to look at ways that we can afford intensive behavioral therapy for all children.

I thank you for the opportunity to testify and I look forward to answering any questions.

But, again, if something has been looked at scientifically and the vast majority of the scientific community, after looking at this and going through it, says there is no correlation, well, then you have got to move on to something else at…

Our compensation system for vaccine-injured children needs reform.

I mean, we have to do the research.

We need transparency, honest communication, and once and for all, a valid unbiased study of vaccinated versus unvaccinated populations.
