"The Act and its legislative history simply do not make sense without the understanding that the tort system remains an available alternative for such cases," the brief says. "And Congress' intent to keep the courthouse doors open is even more important today than it was in 1986."
"The significance of the Bruesewitz case relates to all vaccine injury it goes to the heart of whether
Vaccine Court is fulfilling the role Congress set for it, and whether it is possible to challenge the design safety of a vaccine in any court in the United States," Holland explained in a March 10, 2010 commentary on Age of Autism."For the autism community, the case could not be more central," she says, "it will determine whether the 5,000 petitioners in the Omnibus Autism Proceeding can continue their claims in state and federal courts if Vaccine Court ultimately dismisses their claims."
Right about now, paranoia in the vaccine industry is no doubt running at an all time high since the announcement of the first award in a vaccine-autism case in September 2010 for another girl named Hannah, with $1.5 million to start and $500,000 a year for life to pay for her care. "Those familiar with the case believe the compensation could easily amount to $20 million over the child's lifetime," CBS News reported on September 10, 2010.
Hannah was "described as normal, happy and precocious in her first 18 months," until "she was vaccinated against nine diseases in one doctor's visit," in July 2000, CBS said.
A government study titled, "The Prevalence of Parent-Reported Diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder among Children in the United States, 2007," evaluated the number of children in the US who currently had an Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis in 2007, based on data from a national Survey of Children's Health, and found that 1 in 91 children between the ages of 3 and 17 carried an ASD diagnosis.
"Even more alarming, for the subset of children between ages 6 and 14 immunized during the 1990's the prevalence is actually 1 in 71 children with an autism diagnosis," Age of Autism reported.
"This age group represents children in the U.S. with the highest exposure to thimerosal, the mercury preservative routinely used until CDC, AAP and industry recommended its removal "as soon as possible" from all childhood vaccines," AoA explained.
It's obvious that parents no longer trust claims by the government and drug companies about harmless vaccines. On October 17, 2010, in the Huffington Post, Kim Stagliano, managing editor of AoA and author of the new book, "All I Can Handle I'm No Mother Teresa," reported that a new study from CS Mott Children's Hospital found 89% of parents think vaccine safety is the most important topic in medical research today.
