Guest guest Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 I have tried to stay out of ongoing debate over the "appropriatness" of comments written by Block and rebuke by EOH's Lenny Schafer because I have tremendous respect for both gentlemen. Just as I have for NAA "moms" that have done so much for my family and loveable grandson. The fact remains, in three short years, I have grown just as angry and frustrated as , and I am a grandfather, not a dad. While I have suffered my own criticism from , I have learned over two years time to appreciate his analysis, not rhetoric, of unfolding events. Say what you will about his unnecessarily cruel characterizations, the man knows what he is writing about. The C.A.A., as written, threatens to delay, for FIVE more years, meaningful resolution of our right to know if our children have been damaged by thimerosal/mercury in their childhood vaccines. My grandson is six, soon to be seven, non-verbal and potty training is a goal not yet realized. Shame on ANYONE who may have "compromised", for FIVE more years, his right to KNOW what happened to him? I have nothing but great respect for the NAA and those dedicated moms who have agreed the C.A.A. is going to be more solution than problem. I hope you are right, but, please understand how deeply disappointed some of us feel that your optimistic views are simply naive. Why should we feel this way? Because some of us stood in front of the US Senate building a few months ago, screaming ourselves hoarse, "We are not disappearing, until we get our hearing". Instead, we got a "compromised" C.A.A. that has the potential of delaying that Senate hearing for another FIVE years. The ONE thing my grandson cannot afford is TIME LOST and that appears to be the ONE thing the "compromised" C.A.A. language appears to accomplish. Well, consider me in the same foxhole as Block. My grandson deserved to have those representing him, regardless of past reputations, to "walk away" laying the foundation for that Senate hearing my grandson deserves! Quote
