NIAID feedback on dubious Dolan claim

NIAID feedback on dubious Dolan claim

From:NIAID Office of Comm. & Gov't Relations
Subject: Website Feedback (67134)
Date: May 8, 2008

This is in response to your inquiry dated
May 6, 2008, to the National Institute of
Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID),
National Institutes of Health (NIH),
regarding an individual with increased immunity.

You may want to suggest to Mr. Dolan that
his physician report his case to a medical
journal so that it can be shared with the
broader scientific community.

Otherwise, the only mechanism we have to
review an individual’s medical records is
for his or her physician to call or forward
the medical records with a cover letter to
the NIH Patient Recruitment and Public
Liaison Office (PRPL). Once the physician
explains the nature of the case, staff in
PRPL will be able to identify the appro-
priate contact with whom to arrange a
consultation. The mailing address, phone
number, and email and Web site addresses
for the PRPL follow:

Patient Recruitment and Public Liaison Office
National Institutes of Health
Building 61/10 Cloister Court
Bethesda, MD 20892

Telephone: 1-800-411-1222 (Toll-free)
Email: prpl@mail.cc.nih.gov
Web site: http :// www .cc.nih.gov/participate.shtml

We hope this information will be helpful to you.

Sincerely,
Correspondence Specialist
Legis. Affairs & Correspondence Mgmnt Branch

I told Mr. Dolan he should offer himself to the
scientific community as a study organism.
If his superior immunity is transferable,
it would obviate vaccination!

I asked Mr. Dolan when was the last time
he had the flu. He said two weeks ago.
I asked how does he know it's the flu?
Can he prove it? He said, no I didn't
go to the doctor for help, so how would
I prove it? So, we just have to take
his word for it? Is that scientific?
