I skimmed a couple of posts, in which he admitted he doesn't know the SSPE risk, missed that poster is living in France, estimated the US population at 150 million AND had Mamakay tell him:<br /><br />"Please stop talking down to me. I apparently know a lot more about this one particular subject than you do."<br /><br />(you go Mamakay! See, Bob doesn't really read about VPDs, at least not the pertinent biomedical literature and he doesn't seem to remember what he reads either).Catherinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580939201909356691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3406721589945384372.post-84172284154234834482011-06-04T10:03:21.991-04:002011-06-04T10:03:21.991-04:00This is the Hachette Speaker's Bureau.

What I would like to see is him being invited to give his "Vaccine Myth" talk at a conference of immunologists, pediatrics, epidemiologists, public health employees, infectious disease doctors and others with a similar background. Then I want to see him get nailed at the question and answer session, and have it posted online.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14428361191787397415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3406721589945384372.post-844222540355703452011-06-03T17:38:23.914-04:002011-06-03T17:38:23.914-04:00actually, that would be a really expensive journal...actually, that would be a really expensive journal club...<br /><br /><i>OK then, how much do speakers cost?<br /><br />Speaker fees vary widely depending on the demand for an individual, his or her availability, and the services required. Generally, fees for keynote speeches begin between $5,000 to 10,000 and can go up to $100,000 or more, and our account executives have access to a wide variety of speakers that can accommodate a broad range of budgets. In most cases, travel and lodging expenses are in addition to the speaker honorarium, including first-class travel, accommodations and limited out-of-pocket expenses.<br /></i>Catherinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580939201909356691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3406721589945384372.post-29541179292972458492011-06-03T17:16:39.444-04:002011-06-03T17:16:39.444-04:00do you want to ask, Squillo?do you want to ask, Squillo?Catherinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580939201909356691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3406721589945384372.post-14287827782836331632011-06-03T17:02:47.515-04:002011-06-03T17:02:47.515-04:00Do you suppose he'd be available for a journal...Do you suppose he'd be available for a journal club?Squillohttp://www.confutata.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3406721589945384372.post-76664511417097744802011-06-03T16:14:33.206-04:002011-06-03T16:14:33.206-04:00Would be a better crowd than the folk Andy hangs o...Would be a better crowd than the folk Andy hangs out with these days...
