On five occasions, Frist tried to seal all of the government's vaccine-related documents, including the transcripts of the 2000 meeting. He tried to shield Lilly from subpoenas regarding thimerosal. In 2002, he quietly slipped into a homeland security bill a measure to give Lilly immunity from liability for thimerosal. The day after Frist slipped this measure into the bill, Lilly contributed $10,000 to his campaign and bought 5,000 copies of his bioterrorism book.

Congress repealed the measure in 2003. Nevertheless, Frist continues to work for the drug industry. Late in the night of Dec. 18, 2005, Frist slipped into a "must pass" Defense Appropriations bill a measure giving drug companies immunity from liability for putting dangerous drugs and vaccines on the market - after committee members were assured that it did not contain this provision.

Frist wants to prohibit families with autistic children from holding drug companies accountable for placing thimerosal in vaccines, even though these drug companies knew how toxic thimerosal is to human tissue.

Who will be responsible for the cost of this health care crisis imposed on us by the drug industry? If Frist has his way - no accountability or responsibility for the drug industry - it will be deceived and devastated families, and the American taxpayer.
