Guest guest Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Nonsense. This bill was planned a long time ago. The bill NEVER had thimerosal and vaccine research in it. Deirdre Imus said so. She intimated that Dodd is a liar. This just one more representation of government-sanctioned child abuse. Keeping child abuse quiet isn't cool. This bill is Daddy Frist's dirty little secret.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 , The bill is pretty much final. It is only some fine tuning of technical provisions that are being worked out now, and negotiation on two areas that were omitted from the final draft and might be salvaged in a weaker form in report language. These are important and the bill can be improved, but that does not change the fact that fundamental provisions at the core of the bill are pretty much fixed in stone. The question is why were some provisions that are highly objectionable to our community (those who care about biomedical interventions) inserted AFTER the final draft had been presented? As far as Kerbob goes, he was opposed to the bill well before the latest provisions were inserted, and that is his right. Parents should be concerned about this bill and are right to question it. The entire bill is not now being edited, as you suggest. What is being done is an attempt to salvage in a weaker form, provisions that were not included in the bill, such as the advisory committee provision related to community oversight. These provisions were in the consensus bill - but the consensus coalition - at least a good part of it, decided to support the bill despite the fact that critical provisions were omitted. I thus respectfully disagree with your implicit suggestion that final " edits " are now being negotiated can resurrect the bill that was agreed upon by the consensus group. I suggest that you may not be aware of the entire story and that you are not in possession of all the facts. That is not to take away from efforts being made to salvage some provisions. But this effort is absolutely not related to final edits that can alter the totality of the bill, as you suggest. I have found Kerbob's dissenting voice refreshing as compared with the cheerleading going on for a bill that is of debatable value to our children. What we need now is sober critical thinking and not cheerleading. This is not a football game or a World Cup match - it is an attempt at achieving responsible legislation to address the needs of our children. And that is my opinion, which I respectfully offer to you. RJK On Jul 19, 2006, at 10:45 PM, Ackerman wrote: > And say what Kerbob?

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Lenny and Sally are Right!!! I am greatly disappointed that the many different organizations that all started out in this together did not STAY in this together. It is very important to present a united front; we need to focus on our vaccine injured children....isn't that what this is supposed to be all about. No hidden agendas please! We are no better than the lobbyist, drug companies, and sell-out congressional representatives if we are not honest with each other and at least focus on the main prize at all cost and that is our children! We are not working together to accomplish that. Too many secrets are still being kept with in our own community. ne CAA Bill > > > > > > > > Dear Friends - > > > > > > > > This over reaction to the CAA (Combating Autism Bill) is premature > and has > > the potential to throw the bill away for good. > > > > > > > > The good folks at Safe Minds & National Autism Association are > working on > > the bill and the numerous edits.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Kerbob is correct that there was never a version of the CAA introduced in the Senate that included a provison for research into vaccines. The only such provision was in a draft agreed upon by a consensus of organizations and presumably submitted to the HELP Committee. The consensus agreed on a provision for research into vaccines, vaccine components and vaccine preservatives. This provision never made it into any bill and we were advised that if it was included the bill would never pass. Thus the consensus bill was never a reality, and we were advised not to fight for it. When we proposed a letter fighting for the provision we were advised that the letter would KILL THE BILL. There may be language that will shape the legislative history that includes vaccine research, but it is relatively weak. Let's see what the colloquy is on the floor of the Senate. There are strong lobbying forces that are working against any such language. I hear that this lobby includes PhRMA, BIO and the AAP. Bob K. On Jul 19, 2006, at 11:14 PM, Kerbob wrote: > Nonsense.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Hi Sally, That can't be correct. The press release (who put it out?) must have meant it was " passed " in the HELP Committee. Under the circumstances, however, being approved and reported to the Senate by the HELP Committee is tantamount to being passed, because the plan is to get the entire Senate to approve this bill by unanimous consent, without any floor debate. The idea is to make it a done deal. So, in substance, Sally, you are right but only to a point. Still has to be voted on by the Senate. Would be interesting to see a Senator stand up and raise some questions about the bill, that that is not the plan that is being orchestrated.

Neither of whom have signed on as co-sponsors to the CAA precisely because it avoids the mercury and vaccine issues. SafeMinds and NAA may sincerely work for the best legislation for our kids. Unfortunately, it is already not good enough. One more billion dollars in irrelevant research is one more billion dollars in irrelevant research and another five years wasted our children do not have. There is little in the CAA bill now that indicates the money will be spent on anything more than politically safe research. Because A-CHAMP believes our children have already been short-changed by the removal of the vaccine research language, they have announced their withdrawal of support for the measure. If this new predatory language remains in that allows the CDC to kill biomedical treatment, a bigger stink needs to be raised to protect the interests of our children.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 You obviously got very bad information.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Well???? We have them right where we want them now. The true instrument of devisiveness was the actual CAA bill. We should all be grateful that certain groups have crossed the line in the sand that this bill itself drew. Cold-hearted orb that rules the night Removes the colors from our sight Red is grey and yellow white But we decide which is right And which is an illusion The true gulf betwixt us parents is created the day the case worker walks into your house, examines your child for ten minutes, returns to the office, and files the needs for services report. This triage report determines which children are worthy of the many benefits and services and which children will live a life full of prejudice, bigotry, and denial. The CAA and those that have supported it simply have confirmed once again that for the rest of us our children are mere stepping stones for them to achieve whatever they are attempting to achieve. I think I've been very kind in restraining myself from repeating many whispering voices that have told me how unfair parents with " Autism Lite " children really are. Your children receive all the funding, therapies, and other educational services mainly as a result of the report filed some time after the initial visit from the " Autism Turk " . It is clearly evident in the whimsical colloquy of the CAA bill that the Senate expressed itself quite well that CDC is not to conduct future epidemiologic research concerning what was an epidemic of autism. The reason is simple. The real and pragmatic fear that any future numerical study of autism will defind the drop in rates as the result of thimerosal removal from infant and toddler vaccines. The Senate made it clear that CDC is not to count autism any more. This is beyond troubling and should rightly be considered as criminal conspiracy. So thanks to the U.S. Senate, CDC has had a huge burden of weight taken off their shoulders. The dozen or so CDC media scholars aren't stupid people. In 2004, when they reached a point of not being able to conceal our children they presented an autism A.L.E.R.T. flier, which confessed that autism rates were, indeed, at epidemic levels. Using two year old data, this past spring CDC disclosed finally and at the same time they revealed where the 2004 A.L.E.R.T. 1 in 166 number came from. So what's the going rate today? Ahhhhhh, we can't tell you. It's against the law for CDC to do epidemiological research now. To figure out where all of the CDC " director " stuff in CAA came from go back to the American Enterprise Institute " small potatoes " talk. Before something is included in a bill for the public it requires public discussion. The AEI Offit theatrical presentation served the sole purpose of shedding sunlight on " public needs " . Frist was instrumental in making sure this was not closed doors by airing it live on Good Friday on C-SPAN when literally noone would be watching. Most everyone laughed it off, but it has clearly a matter of he who has the last laugh.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Kerbob: I predicted months ago that this CAA bill would show everyone's true colors and draw the lines between the different orgs. I hate to say I was right, but I was right. Hopefully now the organizations who are truly fighting for mercury injured children (NOT autism) will get the parent support of mercury injured children so that we can begin to give this movement a good kick forward. MAM has and will never fight for autism, but for children injured by mercury. -----Original Message-----From: EOHarm [mailto:EOHarm ]On Behalf Of kerbob1Sent: Saturday, August 05, 2006 2:52 PMEOHarm Subject: CAA bill Well????
