Dr. Yazbak, a board-certified pediatrician with special training
in infectious diseases, has been a fellow of the American Academy
of Pediatrics since 1963. He was formerly the Assistant Clinical
Director of the Charles V. Chapin Hospital (Infectious Diseases),
the Pediatric Director of Child Development Study at Brown University
and the Director of Pediatrics at the Woonsocket Hospital in Rhode
Island.
He has practiced pediatrics and was a school physician in Northern
Rhode Island for 34 years. Since 1998, he has devoted his time
to the research of regressive autism, its epidemic increase and
its auto-immune causes. He has conducted a large study of mothers
who received repeated live virus vaccines as adults and has proposed
the hypothesis that live virus vaccination of mothers just before,
during and immediately after pregnancy, predisposes their children
to autism. He presented his findings at a special session of the
American Academy of Pediatrics in 2001 and has published 3 peer-reviewed
papers on the subject. He has also published extensively on the
Internet.
His interest in vaccines has been long-standing and he has been
certified as an expert witness in vaccine injury cases.
Dr. Yazbak describes himself as being pro-reasonable vaccination.
He and his wife Maureen, a Certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner,
now live on Cape Cod. They have 4 children and twelve grandchildren.
