First Mercury Poisoning/Vaccine Lawsuit Filed

April 7, 2001

http://www.mercola.com/2001/apr/7/vaccine_mercury.htm

The law firm of Waters & Kraus, LLP, based in Dallas, Texas, announced that it

has filed the first known civil case alleging that the mercury-based

preservative thimerosal, used recently in more than 30 childhood vaccines, has

caused mercury poisoning in many children. Counter, et al v. Abbott

Laboratories, et al, (Cause No. GN 100866, 200th District Court -

County, Texas).

The symptoms of mercury poisoning are, in many cases, identical to the symptoms

of autism, although the suit does not allege that all persons suffering

from the

symptoms of autism do so as a result of mercury poisoning. However, many

children suffering from mercury poisoning have been previously diagnosed with

autism due to the similarity of symptoms.

Children have been exposed to cumulative levels of mercury from the vaccines

that exceed threshold safety levels that have been established by the United

States Environmental Protection Agency.

In many instances, children carry unmistakable evidence of mercury poisoning

and the symptoms of mercury poisoning were first manifested after receiving

vaccines tainted by thimerosal. In many cases, children exhibited normal

neurological and other developmental patterns until such time as the cumulative

dose of mercury caused irreparable damage to both the neurological and the

general developmental process. For example, many children had developed

language

and other skills that were later lost as the result of the cumulative exposure

to mercury.

Thimerosal is a mercury-based additive.

Mercury has been known to be hazardous for literally hundreds of years, and its

dangers have been well known and documented during all times when the

defendants manufactured and/or sold mercury-containing pediatric vaccine

products.

Waters & Kraus anticipates that a significant number of individual cases

against the vaccine industry will be filed in the near future. The firm

anticipates investigating and prosecuting individual claims throughout the

United States, in conjunction with the following firms and others:

Evert & Weathersby, LLP - Atlanta, Georgia Dogan & Wilkinson, PLLC -

Pascagoula, Mississippi Doran & , LLP - Buffalo, New York Leach, Schwarz

& Strassberg - Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania , , Parris & Tessener Law

Offices, PLLC - Raleigh, North Carolina

DR. MERCOLA'S COMMENT:

Another article this week shows that even minute amounts of mercury can cause

nerve damage that is related to Alzheimers' disease, so it is truly amazing

that

modern medicine continues to push mercury-containing vaccines.

If you know anyone who has been damaged by vaccines you might want to forward

them this information.

Mercury is also a common environmental contaminant, often coming from power

plants and incinerators.
