In terms of culpability with the vaccines, I really can't address that. I'd just be speculating.
In terms of whether or not DU should be listed in this mix, right now the evidence says no, that it shouldn't, that it would be better if people focused in other directions.
I have a little personal story. I had severe neck pain that would kind of drop me to my knees for a while. This was during the response to the World Trade Center bombings. It was really bad. I had an old injury that I thought had been aggravated and I assumed it was going to need surgery so I didn't want to go in. I'm a guy. I finally went in and talked to the physician. He listened to me and he said, “Oh, it's stress.” I said, “No, it's not. You have to operate on me. This can't be stress. It hurts too much.” He convinced me, and I started taking the medication. Two or three weeks later, the episodes stopped, and I haven't had one since. I can't imagine what I would have done if I had been convinced that I needed surgery and then I tried to find a surgeon to operate on me. No ethical surgeon would, because there was nothing wrong with my neck. I needed to be treated for stress.
That's how I would answer that question. I firmly believe, after being beaten up by many physicians, that a physician needs to treat the patient in front of them.
