The “National Launch” of Invisible Threat – a film promoting the world’s most aggressive vaccine program – will be screened in the nation’s capital today. The screening will be hosted by Every Child By Two (ECBT), which has received millions of dollars from five of the largest pharmaceutical companies. Even high school teachers have joined forces with a vaccine industry front group to promote the film.
Lenient laws defining non-profits allow “charities” such as ECBT to aid the bottom line of industries that fund them. CBS reported on ECBT’s ties to the vaccine industry in “How Independent Are Vaccine Defenders?”
CBS News found that American Academy of Pediatrics, ECBT, and pediatrician Dr. Paul Offit all have some more in common – strong financial ties to the industry whose products they promote and defend, yet they’re some of the most trusted voices in the defense of vaccine safety. Despite representing a strong bias, Dr. Offit has stated that he has absolutely no conflict of interest to declare.
