Mercury-Autism Link Not Found Because of Government Policy, not

Science

In a decision released last Friday afternoon, the Autism Action Network, a

founding member organization of the Coalition for Vaccine Safety (CVS),

believes that the Special Masters of the Court of Federal Claims (the Vaccine

Court) wrongly decided that mercury-containing vaccines do not cause

autism. The decision was the last of three test cases selected to

 

" The government is completely inconsistent, we know from the Hannah Poling

and the Bailey Banks cases that vaccines can cause autism, " said John

Gilmore, executive director of the Autism Action Network. " It is as if they are

saying, 'Vaccines never cause autism, except when they do.' "

 

The Special Masters appear to have based their decisions on the government

policy to protect the vaccine program rather than to fulfill their role to

do justice by vaccine-injured children. In these three 'test case'

decisions in the Omnibus Autism Proceeding, petitioners William Mead, Jordan

King

and Colin Dwyer developed normally through the first year of life and then

regressed into autism. They presented thousands of pages of scientific

documentation and testimony. Their evidence showed that thimerosal, a

mercury-laden vaccine preservative, more likely than not contributed to their

autism.

 

" The deck is stacked against families in Vaccine Court. Government

attorneys defend a government program, using government-funded science, before

government judges. Where's the justice in that? " asked Rebecca Estepp, a CVS

steering committee member and mother of a petitioner in the Omnibus Autism

Proceeding.

 

" This has been a huge, but legally necessary, waste of time for the

injured kids and their families, " said Gilmore, " At least now we will have a

chance in a real court where we have the basics rights denied in the Vaccine

court. "

 

Mercury is a known neurotoxin and that damages the developing brain and

the immune system. All three boys' health improved through medical

interventions to reduce mercury toxicity and immune dysfunction. Nonetheless,

the

Special Masters concluded that petitioners failed to meet their burden of

proof, even though Health and Human Services (HHS), the respondent in the

proceeding, offered no alternative explanation other than genetic

predisposition.

 

The Coalition for Vaccine Safety (CVS) is an alliance of organizations

dedicated to vaccine safety representing over 75,000 families. In _recent

letters_ (http://capwiz.com/a-champ/utr/1/HDOCMEYAJR/JZGDMEYCJE/4838962301)

to the Chairmen and Ranking Members of House and Senate Committees charged

with oversight of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the

Coalition called for hearings to investigate HHS, the CDC and other government

agencies. Those federal agencies have failed to comply with the terms of

the 1986 Vaccine Injury Compensation Act (VICA). Specifically they have

failed to provide critical vaccine safety science, including from the

taxpayer-funded Vaccine Safety Datalink, on thimerosal, autism and other

neurodevelopmental disabilities.

 

Vaccine court decisions and revelations about Dr. Thorsen's actions only

strengthen the Coalition's resolve in calling for immediate Congressional

action to investigate vaccine safety - an issue that potentially affects

every person in the country.

 

" We are confident that the truth will win out. We hope that Congress will

intervene in what is clearly a miscarriage of justice to vaccine-injured

children, " said Jim Moody, an attorney and CVS steering committee member.
