CRUSADOR Editor Greg Ciola interviews April Oakes,

President of The

Autism Autoimmunity Project (TAAP).

 

Greg: April, it's a pleasure to have the opportunity

to interview you.

Let's begin by having you explain to our readers a

little bit about

your organization. How did you get involved with The

Autism

Autoimmunity Project (TAAP) and what purpose does it

serve?

 

My first child, Casi, was a victim of the vaccination

program. I

thought I was being a good parent when I held her down

while she was

being vaccinated. Today, one child in 150 is labeled

" autistic " and

there is a great deal of evidence showing that

vaccines play a role in

the cause. Casi died on June 13, 1999 and since her

death, I've made

the commitment to warn the world that vaccines are

both worthless and

dangerous. Everything we've been told about them is

simply not true.

One of the most blatant lies is, " no shots, no school,

no kidding " .

What a joke! There are exemptions in 48 of the 50

States. Another very

glaring lie is that vaccines have eradicated certain

diseases. Most of

these diseases were being eradicated BEFORE the

introduction of

vaccinations.

 

In honor of my angel, I'm now the President of a

non-profit

organization, TAAP (The Autism Autoimmunity Project).

We are a

non-profit charity dedicated to obtaining funding for

independent

research into the cause, treatment and prevention of

autism and other

autoimmune disorders. We support prominent medical and

natural

practitioners, who are working diligently to

understand the biomedical

and immunological causes. We work to provide

information on the latest

and most successful treatments. Our vision is to

financially support

our independent doctors and researchers, who will not

only re-define

autism, but will discover new treatments for our

children, with the

focus on prevention. By educating parents about the

dangers of

vaccines, I'm hoping to prevent the pain and suffering

that other

parents could experience if their child is damaged or,

worse yet,

killed because of vaccines.

 

Greg: You say that you got involved with this

organization because

your daughter got vaccinated and came down with

autism. How did you

link vaccines to your daughter's problem?

 

I noticed that she was injured after her first vaccine

(Hepatitis B),

which she was given when she was 2 weeks of age. The

things that I've

learned about the Hepatitis B vaccine since then are

just amazing.

From early on, my daughter had what's called

hypotonia, low muscle

tone. The more rounds of vaccines she received, the

more we noticed

the hypotonia. She didn't develop normally. Every time

she received a

round of vaccines she was in more of a stupor. So, it

wasn't a

specific vaccine to which she had a reaction, it was

the cumulative

amount of vaccinations that prevented her from

developing normally. At

fifteen months, she hadn't been able to reach the

milestone of moving

from a lying to a sitting position. We took her to

every specialist

possible to try to get answers, and no one could help

us. We set out

to do our own homework about vaccines and soon came to

realize the

dirty little secrets about vaccines and the

ingredients they contain

(heavy metals, mercury, formaldehyde, aluminum,

aborted fetal tissue,

animal viruses, etc…). How on earth can the body

function when you

defy all of God's laws? Our defense mechanisms (fever,

vomiting,

diarrhea, etc.) are a completely natural form of

defense. Injecting

biological toxins directly into the body denies the

individual of

building their own natural immunity. Your body

literally attacks

itself, whether it's autism in the brain (as in my

daughter's case),

or ALS. My dad was very diligent about getting his flu

shot every

year. There's a great deal of evidence to suggest that

there is a

connection between flu shots and ALS, which is what my

Dad died from.

Montel Williams announced publicly that he felt the

Hepatitis B

vaccine caused his MS. When we put our daughter's life

into our own

hands, we discovered the truth about vaccines. With

something bad,

comes something good. The biggest part of my healing

has come from

seeking out the funding for the appropriate research

being done by

scientists who think outside the box, proving what we

already now. We

can use this research to prove to the world about the

dangers of

vaccines. We must do this to protect our children.

 

Greg: Tell me how your daughter actually died and why

you feel her

routine vaccinations ultimately played a role?

 

I believe she died from medical negligence. Mothers

are very in tune

with the health of their children. I noticed after she

was born that

she became neurologically impaired after being

vaccinated. When she

was four years old she contracted the Epstein-Barr

virus, which led

into a secondary infection, bacterial meningitis (even

though she

displayed all the typical symptoms for meningitis, the

hospital

neglected to treat her with the appropriate protocol).

I lost a fully

vaccinated child. Currently my seven-year old son is

still

unvaccinated and has never even had an ear infection.

I feel it's

important we wake the world up to the fact that

vaccines don't work.

If my daughter could have spoken as they rushed her to

the emergency

room she would have told them, " it's not my stomach,

it's my head " .

Indirectly, I do blame vaccinations for her death,

because she could

have been saved if she had been able to tell the

doctors what was

going on.

 

Greg: After that tragic event in your life, it was

very difficult for

you to find the strength to go forward. What motivated

you to continue

on and how did you ultimately get involved with TAAP?

 

After Casi passed away, I became inspired to merge

mainstream medical

doctors with the more " progressively-minded " medical

doctors (in other

words, doctors who know how damaging vaccines really

are). Parents

need to learn about what they are subjecting their

children to and

many of them will only listen to mainstream medicine.

Dr. Andrew

Wakefield is one of the most progressive medical

doctors I know. He is

a formally trained gastroenterologist from London,

England. Over Six

hundred came to hear him present his research here in

Fort Lauderdale

in a lecture sponsored by our organization. When he

showed them how

children get injured from vaccines, he got the ball

rolling for our

organization. My dream became a reality. Casi's death

would not be in

vain. People listened to Dr. Wakefield and woke up.

 

My favorite line is, " If you want to make God laugh,

tell him your

plans! " Obviously His plans for what I was doing

during this time,

however, were a little different because He eventually

handed The

Autism Autoimmunity Project (TAAP) completely over to

me on a silver

platter. At the time, I was just " Casi's Quest " (TAAP

of Florida). Ray

Gallup, the original founder of TAAP, could no longer

designate the

time and effort to run the organization because of the

severe strain

of taking care of his own autistic son. When that

happened he ended up

turning the organization over to me. Our main goal

since then has been

to raise money to support the unfunded researchers. If

we don't step

forward and fund the necessary research to prove the

dangers of

vaccines, who will? We're one of the only

organizations that's funding

these independent researchers.

 

Greg: What is it that you're trying to accomplish

today and what kind

of success have you had?

 

So far, our biggest success has simply been informing

the

pharmaceutical companies that nothing is going to stop

us from proving

how dangerous their vaccines really are. It is much

easier to treat a

disease when the cause is known. We know that vaccines

are injuring

our children and one way to stop the insanity is to

stop giving our

children vaccines. We also want to provide charitable

assistance

(legal/treatment) to help the families who have

adversely been

affected by vaccines. Society simply ignores the

problem by turning a

blind eye to these autistic children. We can't ignore

these children -

they represent our next generation.

 

Greg: You're starting to make a lot of headway with

chiropractors and

other practitioners around the country who want to

become more

involved with this message. Tell our readers more

about this.

 

Well, chiropractors have been fighting this fight for

a very long

time. As a matter of fact, when I was pregnant with my

daughter, my

husband worked with chiropractors who had warned us

about

vaccinations. But, of course, I was the average,

misinformed parent

that worshiped our medical doctors and didn't listen

to their

warnings. My immunologist pediatrician told me that

Casi would die if

I did not vaccinate her. That's why I held her down

thinking I was

doing the best thing for her. The chiropractors have

been warning

parents about the dangers of vaccines for a long time,

but it's not

enough. Today, every other child has some form of

neurological or

autoimmune problem, ADD, ADHD. Clearly, something

needs to be changed.

The victims of vaccines are merging with chiropractors

because they

understand the problem. When victims are doing

presentations for their

patients we can show people, " Hey, it can happen to

you and these are

the facts you need to know so that you can make that

informed choice. "

Because of their license, chiropractors are somewhat

limited as to

what they can reveal to patients, but as a parent and

a victim I'm not

limited at all.

 

Greg: There are some other autism and vaccination

educational

organizations around the country. What's the

difference between TAAP

and these other organizations?

 

It depends on which organizations you're referring to.

There are some

grass-roots anti-vaccine organizations that are making

some headway by

revealing all the issues around vaccines. Other,

non-profit

organizations are walking the same fence that we

jumped over, speaking

only part of the truth. There's another organization

that spun off

from our rallies last year that is focused solely on

the mercury in

vaccines. Mercury is a major problem, but it's not the

only problem.

TAAP exposes the full truth about vaccines. Whenever

another child is

diagnosed with autism (which, as I've said is 1 child

in 150), we

become even more motivated to protect our children.

We're the only

ones who are truly standing for these voiceless angels

and at the same

time speaking the full truth. Every other organization

is trying to

stop us from being so thorough about our approach. In

the rallies last

year, no one gave us any credit for our work. We have

been so blessed

to have the support of the chiropractors. We're hoping

that they can

eventually start to help us financially so that we can

keep fighting

for these innocent victims.

 

Greg: You mention legalities in the beginning of this

interview and I

think this is an area where many people are deceived.

Anytime I ever

talk to someone about vaccines the first thing they

say is, " I can't

get my son or daughter into school if they don't have

their vaccines. "

This is one of the biggest lies going. Could you

explain more about

this and also tell our readers about your attorney,

Jim Filenbaum, and

what his thoughts are on these issues? We need to

educate people on

how to avoid and stop this deception.

 

That's the direction I took right after Casi passed

away – I thought,

" What could I have known that would have prevented me

from blindly

holding her down (for the shots) like I did? " One of

the biggest

misconceptions, as you say, is that we're told you

can't go to school

without them. It's a lie; there are exemptions in

every single state

except for Mississippi and West Virginia, and even in

those we're

working on getting exemptions. In the state of

Florida, we have both

medical and religious exemptions. A medical exemption

is next to

impossible to get, a religious exemption is very easy

to get. Our

attorney Jim Filenbaum, who has been representing

exemption rights for

thirty years now, and has lost very few cases, is now

doing free

consultations for anyone who mentions our

organization. He is also

trying to save these innocent children by exposing the

truth. He's

even insisting that he come along with me to

chiropractic

presentations, not only to prevent me from giving

everything away

(laughs), but also to let people know that what we say

is real. If

they choose to be exempted he can help them avoid

vaccines. He's a big

asset to the organization. If anyone would like to

reach Jim, they

should contact our organization first so that we can

direct them

through to the proper channels.

 

Greg: Is he available for press interviews?

 

Absolutely. He has a big heart and wants to expose the

truth as well.

 

Greg: I'd also like to touch more on the rallies that

you mentioned.

Why did TAAP sponsor these rallies in Washington, D.C.

and what was

the outcome?

 

After 9/11, our government implemented a Homeland

Security Bill to

protect us from terrorists. At the same time, they

slipped in a

provision protecting Eli Lilly, (the manufacturer of

thimerosal – the

mercury in vaccines), from being sued by parents, like

myself who know

our children were injured by vaccines. On January 8th,

2003, we did an

emergency rally demanding that this provision be

removed. The night

before the rally, we got a phone call saying that it

was removed, so

apparently our rally worked. Then, two months later we

had to do

another rally to fight the BioShield Bill, which was

also designed to

absolve the pharmaceutical companies of any

negligence. Our rallies

helped get this provision removed from the second

bill, as well. We

tried to get other organizations to support us, but

nobody would even

donate a podium. Nobody wanted to be associated with

an organization

that was taking such a bold stance against

pharmaceutical companies

and our government. Since our rallies, I've heard

they've tried to

slip this language into several bills, but I'm not

sure if it passed.

Unfortunately, we ran out of money and have not been

able to pursue

this issue. I feel somebody has to be the voice for

these voiceless

angels, and I, along with many other parents, chose to

fight for these

kids.

 

Greg: How can someone contact you for more on this

topic?

 

They can reach us at: TAAP, P.O. Box 293144, Davie, FL

33329. Our

phone number is

954-583-4860(locally)/800-939-TAAP(8227) . They can

also visit our website at any time www.TAAP.info for

additional

contact information.

 

Greg: Are you available for public speaking, radio and

TV programs,

etc.?

 

Yes, that's where my heart is right now – waking the

world up one

person at a time. We are happy to come to speak and

greatly appreciate

any donations towards our charity!

 

Greg: Thank you for your time, April. We'll see if we

can help wake

some more parents up by publishing this crucial

information. God bless

you and all the hard work you're doing to speak for

these children.

You can all see I'm still working backward through my emails and posts!

 

I have been hearing all the pros and cons about vaccinations in regard to autism even years before my son was diagnosed. I've gotten more information on vaccinations from this one post, info that I was not aware in the 22 years I've been a mother to an autistic child. I think it was Shelley who recently posted the info on the article from Rolling Stone about the mercury in vaccines. I didn't know that! And MY GOSH! Aborted fetal tissue?!!! Being a catholic, I would never have had any of my kids vaccinated if I had known that! I, like most parents, believed that the benefits of vaccinations far out weighed the risks. My 5 year old got a vaccination for chicken pox! We've all had chicken pox, and all survived it but for the few who developed complications that led to other life threatening illnesses. From 1991 when my son was diagnosed til 2001, the number of autism diagnosises increased 1500% and 6000% since the mid 1970s. I've been saying all along that something is definitely

wrong here. I've had a firm belief in exposure to electro magnetic radiation being responsible for increases in autism too. So if anyone has an interest, I think this TAAP group would be worth investigating and getting involved with. I intend to look into it myself. I think my now 22 year old autistic son will be very interested in looking into this group as well. Thanks again, Kel. You always come across with info I need, but don't usually know I need until I read your posts!

[Guest guest]

Hello All, My info is just "personal experiance" but. My first two children did NOT get vaccinations, because if a death in the family due to them. But because of all the "Hassle" I get from schools, and daycares I chose to vaccinate my third child. (by the way , kids can and do go to school without shots). Anyway to make a long story short, my third child has ADHD. And as you all have heard me say, medication does not even help him. So anyway that is my 2 cents , for whatever its worth. Have a great week.

You can all see I'm still working backward through my emails and posts!

 

I have been hearing all the pros and cons about vaccinations in regard to autism even years before my son was diagnosed. I've gotten more information on vaccinations from this one post, info that I was not aware in the 22 years I've been a mother to an autistic child. I think it was Shelley who recently posted the info on the article from Rolling Stone about the mercury in vaccines. I didn't know that! And MY GOSH! Aborted fetal tissue?!!! Being a catholic, I would never have had any of my kids vaccinated if I had known that! I, like most parents, believed that the benefits of vaccinations far out weighed the risks. My 5 year old got a vaccination for chicken pox! We've all had chicken pox, and all survived it but for the few who developed complications that led to other life threatening illnesses. From 1991 when my son was diagnosed til 2001, the number of autism diagnosises increased 1500% and 6000% since the mid 1970s. I've been saying all along that something is definitely wrong here. I've had a firm belief in exposure to electro magnetic radiation being responsible for increases in autism too. So if anyone has an interest, I think this TAAP group would be worth investigating and getting involved with. I intend to look into it myself. I think my now 22 year old autistic son will be very interested in looking into this group as well. Thanks again, Kel. You always come across with info I need, but don't usually know I need until I read your posts!

How did you get involved with TheAutismAutoimmunity Project (TAAP) and what purpose does itserve?My first child, Casi, was a victim of the vaccinationprogram. Ithought I was being a good parent when I held her downwhile she wasbeing vaccinated. Today, one child in 150 is labeled"autistic" andthere is a great deal of evidence showing thatvaccines play a role inthe cause. Casi died on June 13, 1999 and since herdeath, I've madethe commitment to warn the world that vaccines areboth worthless anddangerous. Everything we've been told about them issimply not true.One of the most blatant lies is, "no shots, no school,no kidding".What a joke! There are exemptions in 48 of the 50States. Another veryglaring lie is that vaccines have eradicated certaindiseases. Most ofthese diseases were being eradicated BEFORE theintroduction ofvaccinations.In honor of my angel, I'm now the President of anon-profitorganization, TAAP (The Autism Autoimmunity Project).We are anon-profit charity dedicated to obtaining funding forindependentresearch into the cause, treatment and prevention ofautism and otherautoimmune disorders. We support prominent medical andnaturalpractitioners, who are working diligently tounderstand the biomedicaland immunological causes. We work to provideinformation on the latestand most successful treatments. Our vision is tofinancially supportour independent doctors and researchers, who will notonly re-defineautism, but will discover new treatments for ourchildren, with thefocus on prevention. By educating parents about thedangers ofvaccines, I'm hoping to prevent the pain and sufferingthat otherparents could experience if their child is damaged or,worse yet,killed because of vaccines.Greg: You say that you got involved with thisorganization becauseyour daughter got vaccinated and came down withautism. How did youlink vaccines to your daughter's problem?I noticed that she was injured after her first vaccine(Hepatitis B),which she was given when she was 2 weeks of age. Thethings that I'velearned about the Hepatitis B vaccine since then arejust amazing.From early on, my daughter had what's calledhypotonia, low muscletone. The more rounds of vaccines she received, themore we noticedthe hypotonia. She didn't develop normally. Every timeshe received around of vaccines she was in more of a stupor. So, itwasn't aspecific vaccine to which she had a reaction, it wasthe cumulativeamount of vaccinations that prevented her fromdeveloping normally. Atfifteen months, she hadn't been able to reach themilestone of movingfrom a lying to a sitting position. We took her toevery specialistpossible to try to get answers, and no one could helpus. We set outto do our own homework about vaccines and soon came torealize thedirty little secrets about vaccines and theingredients they contain(heavy metals, mercury, formaldehyde, aluminum,aborted fetal tissue,animal viruses, etc…). How on earth can the bodyfunction when youdefy all of God's laws? Our defense mechanisms (fever,vomiting,diarrhea, etc.) are a completely natural form ofdefense. Injectingbiological toxins directly into the body denies theindividual ofbuilding their own natural immunity. Your bodyliterally attacksitself, whether it's autism in the brain (as in mydaughter's case),or ALS. My dad was very diligent about getting his flushot everyyear. There's a great deal of evidence to suggest thatthere is aconnection between flu shots and ALS, which is what myDad died from.Montel Williams announced publicly that he felt theHepatitis Bvaccine caused his MS. When we put our daughter's lifeinto our ownhands, we discovered the truth about vaccines. Withsomething bad,comes something good. The biggest part of my healinghas come fromseeking out the funding for the appropriate researchbeing done byscientists who think outside the box, proving what wealready now. Wecan use this research to prove to the world about thedangers ofvaccines. We must do this to protect our children.Greg: Tell me how your daughter actually died and whyyou feel herroutine vaccinations ultimately played a role?I believe she died from medical negligence. Mothersare very in tunewith the health of their children. I noticed after shewas born thatshe became neurologically impaired after beingvaccinated. When shewas four years old she contracted the Epstein-Barrvirus, which ledinto a secondary infection, bacterial meningitis (eventhough shedisplayed all the typical symptoms for meningitis, thehospitalneglected to treat her with the appropriate protocol).I lost a fullyvaccinated child. Currently my seven-year old son isstillunvaccinated and has never even had an ear infection.I feel it'simportant we wake the world up to the fact thatvaccines don't work.If my daughter could have spoken as they rushed her tothe emergencyroom she would have told them, "it's not my stomach,it's my head".Indirectly, I do blame vaccinations for her death,because she couldhave been saved if she had been able to tell thedoctors what wasgoing on.Greg: After that tragic event in your life, it wasvery difficult foryou to find the strength to go forward. What motivatedyou to continueon and how did you ultimately get involved with TAAP?After Casi passed away, I became inspired to mergemainstream medicaldoctors with the more "progressively-minded" medicaldoctors (in otherwords, doctors who know how damaging vaccines reallyare). Parentsneed to learn about what they are subjecting theirchildren to andmany of them will only listen to mainstream medicine.Dr. AndrewWakefield is one of the most progressive medicaldoctors I know. He isa formally trained gastroenterologist from London,England. Over Sixhundred came to hear him present his research here inFort Lauderdalein a lecture sponsored by our organization. When heshowed them howchildren get injured from vaccines, he got the ballrolling for ourorganization. My dream became a reality. Casi's deathwould not be invain. People listened to Dr. Wakefield and woke up.My favorite line is, "If you want to make God laugh,tell him yourplans!" Obviously His plans for what I was doingduring this time,however, were a little different because He eventuallyhanded TheAutism Autoimmunity Project (TAAP) completely over tome on a silverplatter. At the time, I was just "Casi's Quest" (TAAPof Florida). RayGallup, the original founder of TAAP, could no longerdesignate thetime and effort to run the organization because of thesevere strainof taking care of his own autistic son. When thathappened he ended upturning the organization over to me. Our main goalsince then has beento raise money to support the unfunded researchers. Ifwe don't stepforward and fund the necessary research to prove thedangers ofvaccines, who will? We're one of the onlyorganizations that's fundingthese independent researchers.Greg: What is it that you're trying to accomplishtoday and what kindof success have you had?So far, our biggest success has simply been informingthepharmaceutical companies that nothing is going to stopus from provinghow dangerous their vaccines really are. It is mucheasier to treat adisease when the cause is known. We know that vaccinesare injuringour children and one way to stop the insanity is tostop giving ourchildren vaccines. We also want to provide charitableassistance(legal/treatment) to help the families who haveadversely beenaffected by vaccines. Society simply ignores theproblem by turning ablind eye to these autistic children. We can't ignorethese children -they represent our next generation.Greg: You're starting to make a lot of headway withchiropractors andother practitioners around the country who want tobecome moreinvolved with this message. Tell our readers moreabout this.Well, chiropractors have been fighting this fight fora very longtime. As a matter of fact, when I was pregnant with mydaughter, myhusband worked with chiropractors who had warned usaboutvaccinations. But, of course, I was the average,misinformed parentthat worshiped our medical doctors and didn't listento theirwarnings. My immunologist pediatrician told me thatCasi would die ifI did not vaccinate her. That's why I held her downthinking I wasdoing the best thing for her. The chiropractors havebeen warningparents about the dangers of vaccines for a long time,but it's notenough. Today, every other child has some form ofneurological orautoimmune problem, ADD, ADHD. Clearly, somethingneeds to be changed.The victims of vaccines are merging with chiropractorsbecause theyunderstand the problem. When victims are doingpresentations for theirpatients we can show people, "Hey, it can happen toyou and these arethe facts you need to know so that you can make thatinformed choice."Because of their license, chiropractors are somewhatlimited as towhat they can reveal to patients, but as a parent anda victim I'm notlimited at all.Greg: There are some other autism and vaccinationeducationalorganizations around the country. What's thedifference between TAAPand these other organizations?It depends on which organizations you're referring to.There are somegrass-roots anti-vaccine organizations that are makingsome headway byrevealing all the issues around vaccines. Other,non-profitorganizations are walking the same fence that wejumped over, speakingonly part of the truth. There's another organizationthat spun offfrom our rallies last year that is focused solely onthe mercury invaccines. Mercury is a major problem, but it's not theonly problem.TAAP exposes the full truth about vaccines. Wheneveranother child isdiagnosed with autism (which, as I've said is 1 childin 150), webecome even more motivated to protect our children.We're the onlyones who are truly standing for these voiceless angelsand at the sametime speaking the full truth. Every other organizationis trying tostop us from being so thorough about our approach. Inthe rallies lastyear, no one gave us any credit for our work. We havebeen so blessedto have the support of the chiropractors. We're hopingthat they caneventually start to help us financially so that we cankeep fightingfor these innocent victims.Greg: You mention legalities in the beginning of thisinterview and Ithink this is an area where many people are deceived.Anytime I evertalk to someone about vaccines the first thing theysay is, "I can'tget my son or daughter into school if they don't havetheir vaccines."This is one of the biggest lies going. Could youexplain more aboutthis and also tell our readers about your attorney,Jim Filenbaum, andwhat his thoughts are on these issues? We need toeducate people onhow to avoid and stop this deception.That's the direction I took right after Casi passedaway – I thought,"What could I have known that would have prevented mefrom blindlyholding her down (for the shots) like I did?" One ofthe biggestmisconceptions, as you say, is that we're told youcan't go to schoolwithout them. It's a lie; there are exemptions inevery single stateexcept for Mississippi and West Virginia, and even inthose we'reworking on getting exemptions. In the state ofFlorida, we have bothmedical and religious exemptions. A medical exemptionis next toimpossible to get, a religious exemption is very easyto get. Ourattorney Jim Filenbaum, who has been representingexemption rights forthirty years now, and has lost very few cases, is nowdoing freeconsultations for anyone who mentions ourorganization. He is alsotrying to save these innocent children by exposing thetruth. He'seven insisting that he come along with me tochiropracticpresentations, not only to prevent me from givingeverything away(laughs), but also to let people know that what we sayis real. Ifthey choose to be exempted he can help them avoidvaccines. He's a bigasset to the organization. If anyone would like toreach Jim, theyshould contact our organization first so that we candirect themthrough to the proper channels.Greg: Is he available for press interviews?Absolutely. He has a big heart and wants to expose thetruth as well.Greg: I'd also like to touch more on the rallies thatyou mentioned.Why did TAAP sponsor these rallies in Washington, D.C.and what wasthe outcome?After 9/11, our government implemented a HomelandSecurity Bill toprotect us from terrorists. At the same time, theyslipped in aprovision protecting Eli Lilly, (the manufacturer ofthimerosal – themercury in vaccines), from being sued by parents, likemyself who knowour children were injured by vaccines. On January 8th,2003, we did anemergency rally demanding that this provision beremoved. The nightbefore the rally, we got a phone call saying that itwas removed, soapparently our rally worked. Then, two months later wehad to doanother rally to fight the BioShield Bill, which wasalso designed toabsolve the pharmaceutical companies of anynegligence. Our rallieshelped get this provision removed from the secondbill, as well. Wetried to get other organizations to support us, butnobody would evendonate a podium. Nobody wanted to be associated withan organizationthat was taking such a bold stance againstpharmaceutical companiesand our government. Since our rallies, I've heardthey've tried toslip this language into several bills, but I'm notsure if it passed.Unfortunately, we ran out of money and have not beenable to pursuethis issue. I feel somebody has to be the voice forthese voicelessangels, and I, along with many other parents, chose tofight for thesekids.Greg: How can someone contact you for more on thistopic?They can reach us at: TAAP, P.O.
