Area of transcript in question:
LUDDEN: We just heard from WAMU's Kavitha Cardoza that school officials here in D.C. have decided to require girls 13 and older be vaccinated for HPV, the human papillomavirus that can cause cervical cancer. Do you think this is something that should be in place nationwide?
Dr. OFFIT: Well, it's certainly a vaccine that's of tremendous benefit. I mean, it can prevent the only known cause of cervical cancer and it's safe. So I mean it's - certainly, you would like to believe that everybody would get it anyway once they knew that. But sometimes, you know, mandates are the best way to ensure that, you know, that good public health measures are used.
LUDDEN: Well, some are cautioning, some watchdog groups say, well, it hasn't really been around that long. How do we know it's safe?
Dr. OFFIT: Well, it's been licensed since 2006. It was tested for probably a decade and a half before that. I mean, it's been now in tens of thousands of people for several years, for about seven, eight years. That's pretty good. I mean, I think, you know, we certainly have more information about this vaccine than we do for any drug that gets licensed or used.
Salt vs. H1N1

Does salt kill H1N1? Or any virus for that matter? Maybe we could add bacteria to that list. I am not a doctor but would love a doctor's response to this.
If I were to gargle twice a day with warm salt water, what would be a good ratio of salt vs. water?
If I were to clean my nostrils once a day with warm salt water, what would be a good ratio of salt vs. water? How would you recommend I do that?
If I were to drink something warm, will it help pull any virus or bacteria down into the stomach? Does the stomach annilate viruses? What would be good to drink?

Nope, he was addressing misconceptions on the Swine-flu vaccinations

It was taken from the transcript of an interview he conducted for NPR last week.

Dear friend, thank you for this post. Please tell us where we can confirm this info, for this is really disgusting. We are commanded in the Holy Scriptures not to partake of many of these things. - Lou Newton
Vaccinations

The pharmaceutical company is never held responsible if injury or if even death is a result. We the People have to pay compensation.
Vaccines are an abomination. Some actual vaccine ingredients are MSG, antifreeze, formaldehyde, aluminum, glycerin, lead cadmium, sulfates, yeast proteins, antibiotics, acetone, neomycin, streptomycin, mercury, monkey kidney, dog kidney, chick embryo, chicken egg, duck egg, calf serum, ABORTED FETAL TISSUE, pig blood, horse blood, sheep blood, rabbit brain, guinea pig, cow heart, animal viruses and more!
Better food, living conditions and sanitation are what are keeping disease down. Not vaccines.
been there seen that do not do it again

They say it is based upon the very same vaccine used in the seventies. Well the vast majority of people had a negative reaction to that shot they stopped giving it for that reason. Many were ill for years and still suffer from side effects. I did not take it; never got the swine flue for it was all hype. To this day I know of no one who did, but I know many made ill from a very bad cure. In a world of 6 billion plus people a few hundred have gotten sick and only those of great age with other health problems have died. This seems to be a paranoid run fear driven program. Which many wish to drive through proving government can tell we the people what is best.
Thank you!

Thank you for addressing the claim that autism is caused by Thimerosal! It has NOT been proven and the type of Mercury that is in Thimerosal is different than the type of Mercury that is generally associated with Mercury poisoning. I would just like to encourage people to do their own research on this topic.
IT IS PROVEN THAT MERCURY IS POISON

You say, "there is no proof that vaccines cause autism", but it is a FACT that MERCURY is in the vaccine. It is a fact that mercury is deadly poison. If one would be so foolish as swallow a very small amount of mercury they would surly die. I think it is a very foolish thing to put deadly poison in your children, even in small amounts. Where did this autism come from. One out of every 150 children have it. Children in nations that do not vaccinate their children do not have it. If I did not know mercury was poisonous; but watched my neighbors die after ingesting mercury, I would not have proof that mercury was poisonous, but would hopefully be wise enough to not take mercury as a precaution. Mercury is a heavy metal and our bodies have no way of getting rid of them. A very small amount of arsenic taken over time, will surly kill a person. It is a proven fact that heavy metal poisoning will cause a person to act in insane ways. Lead may not kill many children, but it has caused many to have a very low IQ. I think we have very good reason to suspect the mercury in vaccines are causing real problems for our children. I choose not to vaccinate my children. - Lou Newton
