Now It's Churches vs. Big Pharma Over Autism Vaccinehttp://www.FreeMarketNews.com/nview.php?nseq=580 Just when the controversy over autism and its relationship tovaccines seemed to have quieted down, the issue is heating up again.Washington DC protests, new books, a dashing Kennedy involved in the cause(environmental activist Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.) and the soft-spoken motherof an autistic child, the Rev. Lisa Sykes, have combined to give the issue amuch higher profile. Meanwhile the most important man in the Senate,Majority Leader Bill Frist has continued his efforts to immunize Big Pharmavia legislation that will hold harmless those involved in the creation ofvaccines now linked to autism. Frist attached a rider to legislation in 2003and then did the same thing earlier this year. He has also attempted tobottle-up the release of government transcripts related to the issue. Sykes is the daughter of two CIA employees with a degree fromPrinceton Theological Seminary. According to a recent AP report, theRichmond, Virginia-based Sykes, a pastor of Richmond's Christ UnitedMethodist Church, "has convinced the Virginia Conference of the UnitedMethodist church - the largest conference in United Methodism - to pass aresolution calling for the removal of mercury from vaccines and allmedicines. It now heads to the Board of Global Ministries and the Board ofChurch and Society of the United Methodist Church for consideration. Thesame resolution passed Kerns' East Kansas Conference of the Methodist Church650-0 a few weeks ago. The Virginia Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Churchof America has referred the measure to a committee. ." In addition to havingan impact on legislation it is quite possible that the church resolutionscould be helpful to parents already in litigation - certainly from thestandpoint of moral authority. While a full alphabet soup of government agencies continue to insistthere is no link between autism and vaccines containing a mercury-basedpreservative thimerosal, grieving parents like Sykes - who must tend totheir damaged children every day - have no intention of letting up onpotentially culpable institutions. For such parents, the onset of autismamong thousands of children throughout the US in the 1990s - only days afterreceiving thimerosal-laden vaccines - cannot be explained without grantingsome responsibility to the vaccines and vaccine-makers themselves. And evenBig Pharma and the US healthcare bureaucracy would seem to agree in deed ifnot in word since after a secret conference in 2000 (Newsbriefs,"Vaccination . and the Nanny State" - July 23), the industry decided thatvaccines with thimerosal would cease to be created or disseminated in theUS. (Stocks were not destroyed however, but were given away to third worldcountries earlier in the decade - something else that stuns those who havefollowed the controversy closely.) Now, as lawsuits pile up, the industry's attempt at damage controlseem increasingly frantic. According to an article in GreenJournal by RobertF. Kennedy, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist has been almost hyperactive onbehalf of Big Pharma regarding this issue. He "slipped a rider known as the'Eli Lilly Protection Act' into a homeland security bill, but Congressrepealed the measure in 2003. In early 2005, Frist slipped another provisioninto an anti-terrorism bill that would deny compensation to childrensuffering from vaccine-related brain disorders. [Frist has also] attemptedto seal all of the government's vaccine-related documents . and shield EliLilly, the developer of thimerosal, from subpoenas. 'The lawsuits are ofsuch magnitude that they could put vaccine producers out of business andlimit our capacity to deal with a biological attack by terrorists' says AmyOlsen, a legislative assistant to Frist. Unfortunately for Frist, hisstatements on the matter tend to lack credibility because of the amount ofmoney donated to his campaign coffers by Big Pharma and Eli Lilly - nearly$1 million. -CM
