MMR Causes Autism - Another Win In US Federal Court
Posted on June 14, 2009 by childhealthsafety
Julia a three year old US citizen has just won substantial compensation in the US Federal Court for autism caused by MMR vaccine - says her mother.
What is different about this case? They kept the "autism" word out of the case. Many parents in other US cases have been advised to do this:-
CBS News has found that since 1988, the vaccine court has awarded money judgments, often in the millions of dollars, to thirteen hundred and twenty two families whose children suffered brain damage from vaccines. In many ... cases, the government paid out awards following a judicial finding that vaccine injury lead to the child's autism spectrum disorder. In each of these cases, the plaintiffs' attorneys made the same tactical decision made by Bailey Bank's lawyer, electing to opt out of the highly charged Omnibus Autism Proceedings and argue their autism cases in the regular vaccine court. In many other successful cases, attorneys elected to steer clear of the hot button autism issue altogether and seek recovery instead for the underlying brain damage that caused their client's autism.": [Vaccine Court: Autism Debate Continues - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and David Kirby Huffington Post 24 Feb 2009]
Julia's diagnosis was "Encephalitis (inflammation of her brain) most likely attributed to the MMR-V (measles, mumps, reubella, chicken pox) vaccine she had received nine days previously.
I do not want this to be misunderstood. She was never formally diagnosed. Do I think that there is a link between vaccines and Autism, absolutely. Is Julia Autistic? I'm not sure."

However, there is good research to show ASD is a condition resulting from an encephalopathy (a degenerative disease of the brain). Encephalopathies are normally caused by an infection (90% of the time), and most often we will expect a viral infection. MMR contains three live viruses.

If this is what compensation means for Julia's Mom think of all the families and children who should never have got sick in the first place and will never get compensation just because they used the "autism" word. Julia's Mom says she was: accepting the loss of the world as i knew it before she got sick, before my divorce, before i lost my house.
This is such a huge, huge, huge help for Julia and my family"
Does it help to think your child is "just a little bit" autistic but still injured and in need of financial help with medical care for life? Autism Spectrum Conditions are a spectrum from very mild to incapacitating.
Not only does it not end like this for other families - some children die as this 2005 Federal Court decision in a case very similar to Julia's shows [and which took 9 years to achieve a decision]:-
Eric Fernandez Cusati v Secretary for Health and Human Services
How many cases are like these ones? Who knows the exact number - the majority of decisions are never published - kept in secret. And then there are all the cases the US Secretary of Health and Human Services settles - also kept in secret. And how many cases are just not filed? No one publicly knows for sure.
Thanks to Julia's Mom for telling us all about this one case.
And with 1 in 38 British boys with an autistic condition [and the problem is not just autism] the question must be asked - how many children who would otherwise have grown up healthy are going to continue to be sacrificed and claimed to be for the very few but in reality for drug company profits in their move to a new business model based on "vaccines for all".

Julia's Story
[by her Mom]
On January 5th, 2007, one week after her 1st birthday, our family's lives changed forever. Julia (unknowingly to her family) had been seizing in her crib most of the night, was transported to the nearest ER for stabilization, and then airlifted to Miami Children's hospital, where she stayed in PICU and the neurology ward for close to one month.
Her diagnosis? Encephalitis (inflammation of her brain) most likely attributed to the MMR-V (measles, mumps, reubella, chicken pox) vaccine she had received nine days previously. When Julia left the hospital, she was functioning at a two month level. She was (and in some respects still is) globally delayed and with significant left sided hemiplegia.
It has been over two years since her MMR-V induced encephalitis, and Julia has come a long way, but has a very long way to go. Julia lives with her brother, Jack who is six and so understanding of her. She also lives with her mom, Susan. Her father recently moved out of state following her parent's divorce. Julia and her family are hanging in there and hope you enjoy her blog! Go Julia!

JULIA WON HER LAWSUIT WITH THE VACCINE INJURY COMPENSATION PROGRAM! THE GOVERNMENT CONCEDED!
This means that they agreed that the MMR vaccine caused her encephalitis and resultant brain damage (I mean Marvelous Mind - right Howard!!).
This is such a huge, huge, huge help for Julia and my family. The government will reimburse all of her past medical expenses (to her, not to us, which I find a little odd, but OK!) and will pay for all future medical expenses that she incurs from her vaccine injury. I will update as I find out more.
Her attorney (Ron Homer and/or Kevin Conway) will be flying out here this summer to evaluate her and her needs with a "life planner" to try to determine what her needs will be. This is HUGE! HUGE! The VICP rarely concedes.....almost never......but they did for her! AMAZING!
Another funny thing to go along with this.....I had just the day before changed my ringtone on my phone to "Its the end of the world as we know it....and I feel fine" trying to find a positive ringtone - accepting the loss of the world as i knew it before she got sick, before my divorce, before i lost my house, and moving forward - and being fine with it....AND NOW - ITS THE END OF THE WORLD AS I KNOW IT - AND I REALLY FEEL FINE! SHE has HELP!!!!! Our struggle is going to be lessened!!!!
Comments:
I just don't understand how people can't see that vaccines are causing all of these issues in our children....all of them with autism (or at least the majority) of our kids have been affected by these awful vaccines that they call mandatoryand safe....what a punch of bull! All that it is to our government is money, money money and how there is no way that vaccines are harming our children....I have to say I strongly disagree they are hurting our children and it needs to be stopped before more children are hurt. Unfortanatly, this may be a ways away.....
Woohoooo!!!! I am tempted to seek monetary compensation if my son turns out to be autistic. Our doctor gave him TWO MMRS!!!!!

Why can't people see that vaccines are what causes autism . Well that question is kinda dumb . The Government does not want to make themselves look bad and the Drug Companies would get there butts sued so bad . This is why they are doing everything in there power to cover it up ..
