Vaccine-Autism Case in Federal Court – Now What?
Posted February 25, 2008 | 12:42 PM (EST)
*** begin quote ***
After years of insisting there is no evidence to link vaccines with the onset of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the US government has quietly conceded a vaccine-autism case in the Court of Federal Claims.
The unprecedented concession was filed on November 9, and sealed to protect the plaintiff’s identify. It was obtained through individuals unrelated to the case.
The claim, one of 4,900 autism cases currently pending in Federal “Vaccine Court,” was conceded by US Assistant Attorney General Peter Keisler and other Justice Department officials, on behalf of the Department of Health and Human Services, the “defendant” in all Vaccine Court cases.
The child’s claim against the government — that mercury-containing vaccines were the cause of her autism — was supposed to be one of three “test cases” for the thimerosal-autism theory currently under consideration by a three-member panel of Special Masters, the presiding justices in Federal Claims Court.

9) What is the bottom line here?
The public, (including world leaders) will demand to know what is going on inside the US Federal health establishment. Yes, as of now, n=1, a solitary vaccine-autism concession. But what if n=10% or 20%? Who will pay to clean up that mess?
The significance of this concession will unfortunately be fought over in the usual, vitriolic way — and I fully expect to be slammed for even raising these questions. Despite that, the language of this concession cannot be changed, or swept away.
Its key words are “aggravated” and “manifested.” Without the aggravation of the vaccines, it is uncertain that the manifestation would have occurred at all.
When a kid with peanut allergy eats a peanut and dies, we don’t say “his underlying metabolic condition was significantly aggravated to the extent of manifesting as an anaphylactic shock with features of death.”
No, we say the peanut killed the poor boy. Remove the peanut from the equation, and he would still be with us today.
Many people look forward to hearing more from HHS officials about why they are settling this claim. But whatever their explanation, they cannot change the fundamental facts of this extraordinary case:
The United State government is compensating at least one child for vaccine injuries that resulted in a diagnosis of autism.
And that is big news, no matter how you want to say it.

I’m still amazed that the sheep still think that the “US Federal health establishment” and / or the “United State government” care about their children!
(Really I’m amazed that anybody would believe that either of those two entities exist. They are merely fictions of our imagination. Like a mental disease or an optical illusion. There are really just people pretending. It would be safe if they were just playing Dungeons and Dragons. In this instance, these folks are pretending to pontificate about science and stuff. Very very dangerous.)
It is interesting that parents KNEW there was a cause and effect relationship between the shots and the disease.
I’d quibble with the writer it ain’t the “gooferment” paying for this. It’s the taxpayer.
Still think the gooferment can protect you? Still think that it can do anything right? Still think that gang is anything more than bigger fancier Mafia?
Do you go “bahhhh” at night when you go to sleep?
Sheeple, just plain old dumb “sheep” that look like people without the common sense that Intelligent Designer gave them.
