Dr, Nancy Snyder's track record of honesty and conflict of interest is awful.
(1.). Dr. Snyderman lost her job with ABC over a conflict of interest with Johnson and Johnson:
"Before coming to NBC, Dr. Snyderman served as ABC's medical correspondent for 17 years where she was briefly suspended for being paid to promote J & J's product Tylenol. She later spent four years with Johnson & Johnson as Vice President of Consumer Education. J & J's company Ortho Clinical Diagnostics is responsible for producing the thimerosal-containing RhoGAM shot administered to RH-negative women during and after pregnancy. Ortho is currently the respondent in litigation for fetal injuries associated with the shot, including autism.
'Tolerating such a blatant conflict of interest is bad enough, but the fact that NBC did not disclose Dr. Snyderman's Johnson & Johnson ties to viewers is completely unacceptable," according to National Autism Association Vice President and grandparent Ann Brasher. "It appears that Dr. Snyderman is speaking on behalf of J & J and not as an unbiased physician looking out for the best interests of children.'"

(2.) Dr. Snyderman violated insider trading rules regarding her ties to DrKoop.com:
"ABC-TV's medical correspondent is returning more than $50,000 to a health-care Web site after violating insider-trading rules by selling shares too soon after the site went public, the company acknowledged today.
Dr. Nancy Snyderman, who regularly appears on ABC's 'Good Morning America,' is a director of DrKoop.com, an Internet site named after its founder, former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop.
Dr. Snyderman's husband bought 1,650 shares of DrKoop.com, based in Austin, during a June 8 initial public offering for $9 a share and sold it one month later when prices soared to $41.27 a share.
That was a violation of Securities and Exchange Commission rules barring corporate officers and directors from profiting from a stock sale within six months of buying shares, said Sue Georgen-Saad, chief financial officer of DrKoop.com. "

(3.) Dr. Snyderman's conflict of interest with Johnson and Johnson is linked to false staements about medical care:
"WASHINGTON, June 19 — NBC's coverage of the Autism Omnibus Proceedings in the U.S. Federal Claims Court that began last week has sparked a firestorm of criticism among parents of vaccine-injured children from around the country. A letter protesting on-air statements made last week by NBC chief medical editor Dr. Nancy Snyderman has been sent to top NBC officials.
The letter, signed by over 50 advocacy organizations and physicians, objects to Dr. Snyderman's assertion on last Tuesday's Today show that the mercury-based preservative thimerosal no longer exists in vaccines. Thimerosal is still contained in most flu shots and several other vaccines as well.
Before coming to NBC, Dr. Snyderman served as ABC's medical correspondent for 17 years where she was briefly suspended for being paid to promote J & J's product Tylenol. She later spent four years with Johnson & Johnson as Vice President of Consumer Education. J & J's company Ortho Clinical Diagnostics is responsible for producing the thimerosal-containing RhoGAM shot administered to RH-negative women during and after pregnancy.
