Doctor rejects attack by Greens

I WISH to respond to Deputy John Gormley (Irish Examiner letters, February 14) who launched an extraordinary and bitter personal attack on me in response to my letter revealing the Green Party’s apparent hostility towards vaccinations (Irish Examiner letters, February 8).

Mr Gormley would appear to call into question my personal and professional integrity when he states that my letter was not motivated by “concern for children”, but rather by the fact that I once stood for election for the PDs.

I think this slur on my professional character speaks volumes about both Mr Gormley and his party.
