There were, I believe, 3 public meetings regarding Resolution 237-09.
I attended 2. To the best of my knowledge, public health officials were contacted and invited to shed any light on the subject, by more than one council personnel ( Naeole and Ford's offices for certain). To the best of my knowledge, not only did none show up to help inform the public, but did not give the inquiring council persons any useful or enlightening information regarding Resolution 237-09 or the safety of vaccine programs in general. If public health officials want us to trust their "authority" beyond just taking their word for it, they have not done a very convincing job of it.
I was present however, to hear the testimony of a doctor and two nurses. All three testified in support of Resolution 237-09.
