"...the AAP pays lip service to the defense of our nation."

You're surprised that an organization that openly advocates boundary violation to its member physicians, would also be soft on terrorism?

I used to think AAP was only interested in the well-being of America's children. Unfortunately, they are rapidly becoming the laughing stock.

Here's more fodder for the health care policy people in each Congressional office. I hope Freepers are reading this and sending this information to their political delegations.

ACIP has participation from AAP and AAFP. Therefore, ACIP should reflect the policies of AAP. AAP's policies are available on-line. In fact, when you peruse their policies, you find the following statement:

Government agencies should work to ensure that adequate supplies of antibiotics, antidotes, and vaccines are available to children, that they are efficacious, and that pediatric doses are established. Resource allocation plans should ensure that these agents are readily available to pediatric health care sites.
