[PROVE] Lawsuit Seeks Justice for Vaccine Injury Victim

[Guest guest]

[PROVE Note: This release is being forwarded out to our list because we

frequently get questions from parents wondering if they wait until their child

gets older if vaccines would be safe then. We also get inquiries from adults

who assume because they are not children and did not react to a vaccine as a

child that the vaccine in question is safe for them. The bottom line is NO

VACCINE IS GUARANTEED SAFE FOR ANYBODY AT ANY AGE - there is always a risk and

our federal government has commissioned ZERO studies to give parents the proper

tools to figure out their child's risk from the vaccine. Vaccine reactions don’t

discriminate by age. We frequently get reports of children of all ages and

professional adults whose lives are destroyed by vaccine reactions. The common

ground with all of them seems to be that they were NEVER TOLD about the real

risks and allowed to make an informed decision free from coercion.

Before any parent lets their vulnerable newborn get a hepatitis B shot in the

hospital, they need to think long and hard about what happened to this and many

other full grown adults with multiple times the body weight after that vaccine.

The hepatitis B vaccine poses a real risk while potential exposure to the virus

and then a potential bad outcome from the illness pose only a theoretical risk

to that individual considering the vaccine - and for a newborn whose mother has

a negative prenatal maternal screening for the Hepatitis B virus - this

newborn's extremely small risk of contracting the illness is even much lower.

Forced vaccination proponents mislead people by failing to put things in the

proper perspective and exaggerating the risk of the disease by making the

faulty assumption that the child will be exposed and contract the illness and

they will have a bad outcome of the illness - all without failing to disclose

that vaccines don't even work sometimes. You can't accurately assess risks and

benefits leaving out those very significant factors.]

Lawsuit Seeks Justice for Vaccine Injury Victim

TORONTO, March 14 /CNW/ - When Lucia submitted to a mandatory

hepatitis B vaccine in 1994 as a condition of employment for the Ontario

Government's Parkdale Community Health Centre, she was not informed by the

City of Toronto health nurse who administered the first injection of a series of

three shots of possible health risks associated with the vaccine or adverse

reactions that might ensue. A lawsuit launched on 's behalf seeks damages

from the City of Toronto for multiple injuries and well documented functional

brain injury resulting from adverse reactions to the hepatitis B vaccine.

Lucia was hired by the Parkdale Centre to work as a social worker

with street people and needle exchange programs. Within half an hour after the

first injection she experienced severe flu like symptoms and fatigue. When

informed the Toronto Health Department about her reaction, she was

berated for being an anti-vaccine " crackpot " . The City of Toronto did not file a

vaccine adverse event report as required by the Ontario Health Protection and

Promotion Act.

Two months later, shortly after receiving the second challenge

immunization, she experienced similar, but even more severe symptoms from

which she did not recover and left work permanently. Her health deteriorated

dramatically. No longer able to work and bedridden for the next 6 months, she

suffered multiple disabilities including diminished concentration, short and

long term memory loss, chronic joint pain, chronic exhaustion, irritable bowel

syndrome, severe headaches, blurred vision, swollen glands, reduced hearing,

decreased co-ordination, and other debilitating symptoms. Unknown to her, all of

these complaints had been documented in the medical literature.

Two years prior to the vaccine reaction and injury, had completed

a Masters degree in Education. She was a vibrant and outgoing woman who was

involved in many diverse activities. Now she can barely read or hold a

conversation. A Brain Spect revealed damage to frontal and temporal lobes and

base of cerebellum, many left posterior parietal problems, and aberrant holes in

gray matter. There was also injury to the middle cerebral artery on both sides.

In other words, Lucia had sustained extensive, irreversible functional

brain injury triggered by what appears to be an autoimmune reaction to hepatitis

B vaccine.

has been investigated and treated by her family physician and a

number of specialists, including Dr. Byron Hyde of the Nightingale Research

Institute in Ottawa, all of whom confirm that her injury and present symptoms

relate to the two hepatitis B injections of July and September 1994. Dr. Hyde

has investigated multiple hepatitis B vaccine injured patients.

Unlike many western countries which recognize and compensate vaccine

injuries, Canada offers no recognition nor compensation when vaccine damage

occurs - except for the province of Quebec. Since 1987, the U.S. government

has paid out in excess of 1 billion dollars in compensation to vaccine injury

victims.

The trial commenced on Monday March 6, 2006 before Madam Justice Ann

on of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Toronto and is expected to

continue for 4 or 5 weeks.
