Senator Frist has Done it Again: The Autism Autoimmunity Project to Sponsor

DC Rally Next Wednesday in Protest of S15

 

PARENTS AND ORGANIZATIONS WILL GATHER TO SUPPORT INTRODUCTION OF

BURTON/PALLONE BILL AND PROTEST LEGISLATION S. 15 THAT WILL TAKE AWAY

MERCURY-POISONED CHILDREN'S RIGHTS TO SEEK COMPENSATION

 

Washington DC - In response to new legislation S. 15 announced Wednesday

that it will once again protect drug companies from litigation pertaining to

the mercury preservative Thimerosal, The Autism Autoimmunity Project is

holding a rally at Upper Senate Park in Washington DC on Wednesday, March

19th.

 

A similar rally was held by The Autism Autoimmunity Project in early January

which sparked the repeal of a provision tip-toed into the Homeland Security

Bill in support of Eli Lilly, maker of the preservative used in as many as

50 vaccines. Next Wednesday's rally holds even more cards as two major bills

come into play. Senate Bill 15 - which protects drug companies while

shunning thousands of children injured by the mercury preservative, and the

Burton/Pallone Bill which offers due process to pursue civil litigation and

for its look-back provision to incorporate thousands of families who

presently do not fit into the Vaccine Injury Compensation Act.

 

S. 15, sponsored by Senator Judd Gregg, comes on the heels of a

just-published report in a peer-reviewed medical journal that confirms a

causal relationship between Thimerosal-containing childhood vaccines and

neurodevelopmental disorders. The Geier research confirms the findings of an

unreleased CDC study, obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, which

found a relative risk of 2.48 between thimerosal exposures and autism.

Courts of law have generally held that a relative risk of 2.0 or higher is

sufficient to substantiate that a given exposure causes disease.

 

A press conference will be held during the rally as Congressman Dan Burton

(R-IN) reintroduces family-friendly legislation for the Vaccine Injury

Compensation Plan. Other speakers will include presidential candidate

Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), and

Congressman Dave Weldon (R-FL). Barbara Loe Fisher, co-founder of the

National Vaccine Information Center, along with Dr. Boyd Haley and Safe

Minds President Lyn Redwood, are also expected to speak.

 

The Autism Autoimmunity Project will also launch a major media campaign

starting the Monday before the rally. President April Oakes feels it's a

good way to educate lawmakers who typically only get one side of the story.

" The evidence that supports our cause is beyond impressive and equally

troubling, " said Oakes. " If we don't reach lawmakers and the public with

accurate information, who will? " she asked. A film crew is also expected to

be on site during the rally. It's said they will be filming for an upcoming

documentary that explores in-depth details pertaining to the

Thimerosal-autism issue.

 

In 1990, the rate of autism was 1 in 10,000. Today that number stands at 1

in 150 according to Centers for Disease Control. This dramatic rise in

autism rates correlates with the increase in mercury-exposure through

vaccines given to children in the late 1980s and through the 1990s.
