Thousands of Families Sue Over Vaccine Link to Autism
by David Gutierrez

(NaturalNews) The U.S. Court of Claims is hearing a series of
arguments from parents who charge that vaccines gave their children
autism.

The claims court is considering arguments from 4,900 parents who say
that the vaccines produced autism or neurological problems in their
previously normal, healthy children. While the disorder normally
develops before the age of three, many of the parents claim that their
older children only developed the condition after being vaccinated.

In order to deal with the large number of claims, the court's Office
of Special Masters ordered lawyers for the families to select three
test cases for each of the three vaccine-autism arguments that have
been put forward.

The group currently being heard claims that autism was produced by a
preservative thimerosal, which contains mercury. The vaccine caused
mercury to build up in children's brains, the lawyers say, reversing
their normal mental development when brain cells became chronically
hyperactive in order to try and purge the metal.

Mercury is a potent neurotoxin that is known to cause a variety of
developmental and brain problems, especially in children.

"In some kids, there's enough of it that it sets off this chronic
neuroinflammatory pattern that can lead to regressive autism,"
attorney Mike Williams said.

In the past, many children's vaccines were made with the thimerosal.
Although the FDA denies that the thimerosal in vaccines is dangerous,
it ordered the chemical phased out of childhood vaccines in 1999. It
is currently found only in adult vaccines and in certain multi-dose
flu vaccines that are also given to children.

Another group of parents, which went before the court in 2007 and has
yet to hear a verdict, argued that autism was produced not only by
thimerosal, but also by the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine, which
does not contain the chemical. A third group, to be heard in
September, alleges that only the MMR vaccine produced autism in their
children.

Sadly, the writer is a tad out of date. There have been extensive
hearings, with copious testimony by the experts on both sides.

The "experts" proffered by the PSC have been totally discredited. The
experts proffered by the DoJ have shown themselves to be true
experts.

These cases are all going in the flusher.
