It is up to the American parents now but our children can come back on

negligence during their lifetime.

We fight on and will never give up hope on  justice for them.

Right is might.

American court to hear case on MMR vaccine

Cedillo, a 12-year-old girl with autism from Arizona, will make

legal history on Monday when her case becomes the first to go before a

court to consider whether the MMR vaccine can cause the condition. The case

before the US federal court of claims in Washington will reignite the

controversy over the triple vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella.

Wakefield, a British gastroenterologist, caused an international

scare over the vaccine in 1998 when, at a press conference in London to

publicise his research on links between the measles virus, autism and bowel

disease, he called for the MMR vaccine to be replaced by single vaccines.

Hundreds of parents of autistic children in the UK have been trying for 15

years to bring a group action over the vaccine to trial but their hopes of

compensation were dealt a final blow yesterday, when a high court judge

disbanded the action. Their case had been fatally wounded when the legal

services commission withdrew legal aid funding in 2004 after spending £15m.

To add to their chagrin, this week Mr Justice ruled at the high court

that scientific reports obtained by the drug companies who were fighting

their claims could be released to the US government, which is defending the

cases there.

In the US, 4,800 claims have been brought against the government under its

scheme for vaccine damage compensation. In three test cases, lawyers for

the parents will put forward three theories: that autism was caused either

by the MMR vaccine, or by other childhood vaccines containing the mercury

preservative thimerosol, or by a combination of thimerosol and MMR.
