 Congressman Dave Weldon
Weldon concentrated his fire on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which recommends the childhood immunization schedule through its Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices -- and has conducted numerous studies that find no association between vaccines and serious health problems, particularly autism.
Weldon introduced a bill -- co-sponsored by Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y. -- that would create a new agency of vaccine safety that reports to the secretary of health and human services; require research to be independent of any vaccine-related decisions; and establish an 18-member advisory committee to create a vaccine research agenda.
Given the realities of the legislative calendar, Weldon told me, he's hoping to build support and hold hearings this fall on the measure and re-introduce it in the new Congress that convenes in January.

WELDON Yeah, that's another one of those myths out there, the 400,000 embryos that are going to be destroyed.
The reality there, again, these are families that have gone through IVF, the in vitro fertilization, and they still have some embryos left in deep freeze, and the truth is the vast majority, like better than 90 percent of those families are not rushing to donate their embryos for destructive research.
WELDON Well, actually, that gets you into a very thorny issue, and it's an issue that I've been talking about, particularly as it relates to embryonic cloning, which is developing human models of disease.

 Review: "Fungicide"
The first is a professional wrestler, Tony "Titus" Ignitus (Dave Bonavita), a goofy, not to bright sort, with muscles big enough to match his over-sized ego (hint: he keeps pictures of himself in his room).
Dave Bonavita (2004’s Suburban Sasquatch) and Wes Miller (2002’s Revenge of the Earth Chomping Intergalactic Space Marauder) were a little stiff, but I sense that it had more to do with first time jitters more than a lack of talent.
Dave Bonavita’s introductory scenes with Mary, however, were very comedic.
