>

>

>CoMeD, Citing the Failure of the Department

>of HHS and the FDA to Comply with Vaccine Laws,

>Files Notice of Appeal

>

>Washington, DC: Yesterday, the Coalition for

>Mercury-Free Drugs (CoMeD, Inc.) filed notice of

>appeal in its 2009 federal lawsuit (1:09-cv-00015),

>which was dismissed on the grounds that the CoMeD

>plaintiffs lacked standing.

> This federal lawsuit seeks to have the federal

>courts compel the Secretary of the U.S. Department

>of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the

>Commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug

>Administration (FDA, through their subordinates,

>to comply with certain federal statutes, laws and

>regulations governing vaccine safety and vaccine

>licensing and approval.

> Although the applicable regulations and

>statutes under which the CoMeD plaintiffs brought

>this lawsuit provide a clear path to the federal

>district courts and direct them to hear such

>black-letter legal issues, the district court:

> * Failed to recognize the CoMeD plaintiffs'

> direct rights to seek legal redress in

> federal court,

> * Treated the CoMeD lawsuit as if it were

> about the toxicity of mercury instead of

> the defendants willful and knowing failure

> to comply with the statutes, laws and

> regulations governing the defendants'

> mandated conduct in the areas of vaccine

> safety and vaccine licensing and approval,

> and

> * Dismissed the CoMeD lawsuit on the grounds

> that the CoMeD plaintiffs lacked standing.

> In the appeal, the CoMeD plaintiffs hope to

>focus the attention of the appeals court on:

> * The black letter law issues raised by the

> plaintiffs and not addressed by the

> defendants in their opposition to plaintiffs'

> motions and

> * The statutory and regulatory authority that

> specifically grants the CoMeD plaintiffs

> access to the federal court to seek redress

> for the failures of the Secretary of HHS and

> the Commissioner of the FDA, through the

> actions of themselves and/or their subordinates,

> to comply with statutes, laws, and regulations

> governing their official activities with respect

> to making vaccines safer, and vaccine licensing

> and approval.

> In this effort, CoMeD is seeking the support of

>others to assist in funding this appeals effort and,

>where appropriate, to review the record and write

>supportive friends-of-the-court (amicus curiae)

>briefs in support of the CoMeD plaintiffs' efforts

>to have the federal courts hear their lawsuit.

Please share this message with others who seek

to have the federal courts compel those who are

responsible for regulating vaccines to comply

with the laws that regulate the mandated conduct

of these federal administrators with respect to

vaccine safety and the licensing and approval of

vaccines.

Thanking everyone in advance for all of your

efforts, no matter how small, to spread this document

and its message to the four corners of the Earth.

Respectfully,
