Yes, 3 families (Cedillo, Hazelhurst, and Snyder) who finally got their time in Vaccine Court. Just 3, out of the more than 5300 cases on file and how many more have not filed - many thousands more of kids who "changed" after they received shots. Kids who are now autistic, maybe they were genetically predisposed, had a mito condition (like Hannah Poling), or other compromised immune system - but they are now autistic and their parents know and believe their autism is/ was triggered by shots.
A lot of people asked me today what I thought about the Vaccine Court ruling. Some even looked at me with that smug, I told ya so - it isn't the vaccines - look.
Since when did court ruling become science and truth? Just because the courts rule that there isn't enough evidence of a connection doesn't mean there isn't a connection.
In fact, it means just the opposite. It means - there may be a connection but someone (HHS) doesn't want it to surface. It means that this evidence and truth will continue to be covered up. Why do I say this? Well, for starters because the Dept of Health & Human Svcs was the defendent in these vax injury cases and they are also the same party that bears the responsibility to conduct safety research on vaccines and the vaccination schedule. Hrm... does something smell funny here? Yes, it is because of CONFLICT OF INTEREST. But, we see that a lot with vaccines - the makers, lawmakers, and "testers" who are essentially all the same people. People like Offit.
The Age of Autism has posted several timely articles today on this topic including responses from Safeminds and TACA. The bottomline is this, the studies and testing done of vaccines is all done and influenced by Pharma and the Government - it is corrupt corrupt corrupt. This isn't about the safety and health of your child, it is about money. Even Autism Speaks has issued a statement (not my most favorite Autism organization) responded to today's Vaccine Court.
The causes of autism remain poorly understood. Autism Speaks funds an aggressive program of research on the causes and best treatments for autism. We will continue to support authoritative research that addresses unanswered questions about whether certain subgroups of individuals with particular underlying medical or genetic conditions may be more vulnerable to adverse effects of vaccines. While large scale studies have not shown a link between vaccines and autism, there are lingering legitimate questions about the safety of vaccines that must be addressed. Our families deserve nothing less than an exhaustive search using a rigorous scientific approach
Ever since Alison Singer left Autism Speaks (January 2009), resigned her position from the IACC - Autism Speaks has changed sides with their public stance regarding vaccine research. Could it be that the millions and millions that this organization has already spent has largely found nothing and so they are now willing to leave not a stone unturned? We shall see. Whether Autism Speaks will do something good remains to be seen, I'll try to be less skeptical - really.
But tonight, I write from a standpoint of frustration.
How, as a parent, can we trust that mandated vaccines are safe when they are not adequately tested and when the makers of these vaccines and our government put financial stake before safety sake? Parents who question safety and decide to follow alternative vaccination schedules like that presented in The Vaccine Book
(by Dr. Sears) are pushed out of pediatric practices, discredited, run into trouble with insurance companies covering (or not) for doctor visits, and even questioned by school attorneys about religious sincerity. Then to add insult to injury, conveniently the pharamceutical company that makes the MMR is no longer going to make it - correction no longer making it - split out into 3 single doses. In effect, forcing the single triple cocktail shot that contains higher doses of virus than it did 20 years ago onto kids and continuing to voice loud and clear that the MMR vaccine (and vaccines in general) have no bearing on autism.Frankly, I'm insulted by it all but hardly surprised.
One thing is certain: My child is my truth.

I had the same reaction. It makes me wonder how long they're going to keep doing this. It's not all genetic! Great post.
Grumble grumble...I was not surprised in the least. Those smug people who gave you that look need to think long and hard about their attitudes, and be eternally thankful that their children have not been affected by autism. That just makes my blood boil that they looked at you like that.
Keep fighting.
