Re: VICP omnibus proceedings potentially in peril

Ok- Here is what I understand after following the updates etc. There

are three issues to be resolved in the general causation hearings. 1

is if combined the MMR and thimerosal containing vaccines can cause

Autism, 2- if thimerosal can cause autism, or 3 if MMR can cause

Autism. Right now they are going to hear 3 test cases for thimerosal

adn MMR causing Autism together. Then they will hear 3 test cases

that MMR can cause Autism, and then 3 that thimerosal can cause

Autism. There will be a total of 9 test cases, but the expert

witnesses will report in the very first test case of Cedillo vs. HHS

and then applied to the other 2 test cases. It is also my

understanding that the expert testimony will also be applied to the

remaining 6 test cases. Each case will also be presented to the

courts but will be able to call on the previous expert witness

testimony without having them re- testify. I am still waiting to see

if we should be working hard to get these test cases to avoid this

being a big pile of 5 years worth of nothing. If I had a case in

which my child got the MMR nad thimerosal containing vaccines I would

be contacting the Petitioners steering committee to have them look at

my case. The problem with finding the cases is that our lawyers may

have some information, but for the most part no one else beside our

families really knows what happened. Again I will let you know as I

get more information. I gotta say that I am getting a good feeling

about this and am pretty positive so far. I just wish my case could

be heard sooner.

Hi Maurine- I asked if you were at the AUtism ONe, because I talked

to a Maurine and thought it may have been you, but apparently not.

Anyway I am not sure about what filing for Thimerosal and then

finding out the MMR caused problems as well would affect your case.

If you think this the case follow up with the lawyer and ask. It

may seem intimidating but if I were able to supply a test case, you

bet I would. The vaccine hearings, we have preponderence of the

evidence- we do not need a sealed tight perfact case, we just need a

pretty solid theory supported by science which we have adn then the

HHS has to prove that the damage was not done by MMR or thimerosal

but specifically explain that it was caused by something else. This

will be pretty hard to do in my son's case. Hang in there and now

id the time to be talking to our lawyers. We have only been filed

for a couple years. There are families that have been in this for 5

years and are needing this to take place and be over with. It

consumes people and I have heard many times that recovery may have

been possible for some with funding and knowledge that this VICP may

provide.

Is it still true that parents can no longer file if it has been over

3 years since the autism diagnosis?

That is what I understand. Either 3 yrs from the onset of symptoms

My 4-1/2 year old son's case was filed within a day or two of the

the 3 year window. They don't have all of the documentation yet,

because I believe we filed a short form of the petition in order to

get

in under the deadline. My point being, his case was filed against a

thimerosal containing flu vaccine and an MMR vaccine that he

received when he turned a year old. His attorney is Krakow

of this group.

Mr. Krakow - Would my son's ( A.L. Shockley) case be of any

assistance?

Please advise,

Steve

Hi Maurine, My post was vague. I was referring to the three " test cases " they

need to set

precedence over the other cases. On pages 5-8, Part E, " Crisis Point in Autism

Omnibus

Proceedings " , They decided that they would require three " test cases " to test

one of the

three general causation theories. The theory that they chose for the " test

cases " was the

MMR combined with TCVs. To date they only have one of these three cases, and are

threatening to stall the hearings if two more cases are not produced ASAP.

I believe that we are in a good position right now regarding this. The government has set out to prove that those defending us have not got the scientific proof. We know better than that, right????

I would think it's better to use your date of diagnosis as that would no doubt come after the onset of symptoms and would give you more time.

We don't have any control over the test cases. No doubt it's up to the attorneys and the court-and special master-which cases to use. But you seem to know a lot more than I do . Maurinekalebsrecovery <kalebsrecovery@...> wrote: Ok- Here is what I understand after following the updates etc. There are three issues to be resolved in the general causation hearings. 1 is if combined the MMR and thimerosal containing vaccines can cause Autism, 2- if thimerosal can

cause autism, or 3 if MMR can cause Autism. Right now they are going to hear 3 test cases for thimerosal adn MMR causing Autism together. Then they will hear 3 test cases that MMR can cause Autism, and then 3 that thimerosal can cause Autism. There will be a total of 9 test cases, but the expert witnesses will report in the very first test case of Cedillo vs. HHS and then applied to the other 2 test cases. It is also my understanding that the expert testimony will also be applied to the remaining 6 test cases. Each case will also be presented to the courts but will be able to call on the previous expert witness testimony without having them re- testify. I am still waiting to see if we should be working hard to get these test cases to avoid this being a big pile of 5 years worth of nothing. If I had a case in which my child got the MMR nad thimerosal containing vaccines I would be contacting the Petitioners steering

committee to have them look at my case. The problem with finding the cases is that our lawyers may have some information, but for the most part no one else beside our families really knows what happened. Again I will let you know as I get more information. I gotta say that I am getting a good feeling about this and am pretty positive so far. I just wish my case could be heard sooner.>> I have the omnibus print out in front of me and says...whether > thimerosal, or the MMR vaccine, or a combination of the two, can > cause neurological injuries in certain children....

Yes, I agree. I missed the time frame in which to file a claim for my boys, but

I want more

than anything to see justice brought to those families that are directly

involved. Everyone

in this community will win.

If there was not a general causation hearing, we would have to

present expert witness reports and testimony in all 4800+ cases. It

is sad that with the information out there that we still need these

hearings, but big money (Pharma) is fighting real hard.
