I am familiar with all the details surrounding the Autism Omnibus Case since I have been working on it ,or preparing for it, for the past 3-4 years, I have a ton of detailed info on my website about the Omnibus Case and the VICP generally-- www.jzslaw.com I am shocked that an attorney advised you " to not file at NVICP.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 Dear Jeff, Thanks for the information. I should have clarified that when we first filed a claim for our son, our attorney was filing in the civil courts. (That is why no NIVCP or medical records released to VAERS) Of course the gov. made this impossible and my son is out of the three year statutes of limitation. He is eight years old now. I think a lot of the 90's kids will not be able to be heard. There was some hope with the possible passage of HR 1349, but it looks like special interest groups (gov., CDC, FDA and pHARMA) want to keep this can of worms sealed up. It is a great injustice to our kids, and I found out that because of this, the law firm we were working with closed 90% of their thimerosal cases!! I just try to stay abreast of what is going on for the ASD kids. Yes, life long care is an issue, but what upsets me more is the injustice done to our children and the criminals that are getting away with it.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 Hi Lynda: Good point--my twins are 9 so we are waiting on HR 1349 as well. We are working very hard to gather co-sponsors for this bill on behalf of Chairman Burton. Please be sure to contact your Congressman to see if theu have co-sponsored it. If not, ask them to become a co-sponsor. Form letters are available on my firm's website. My best.
