> WASHINGTON, April 7 /PRNewswire/ -- It's being called

> the never-ending Frist legislation. Last year, Senator

> Bill Frist (R-TN) introduced a bill to protect drug

> companies like Eli Lilly from litigation pertaining to

> Thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative found in

> childhood vaccines that has been linked to

> neurodevelopmental disorders. After Frist's bill fell

> short in the senate, the pro-Lilly legislation

> surprisingly showed up in the Homeland Security Bill

> where it was passed and later repealed. Last month, it

> reappeared as a provision in the BioShield Bill and

> has since been removed when Frist came under heavy

> attack yet again from parents groups, this time backed

> by a well-funded advertising campaign in D.C. media.

> But Frist hasn't given up. He's back again. Now as a

> standalone bill, the Frist legislation is expected to

> go to markup once again this Wednesday, April 9th,

> where the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP)

> committee will decide its fate. The current National

> Vaccine Injury Compensation Plan (NVICP) has a statute

> of only three years. If Frist's NVICP Bill, proposing

> a six-year statute, does pass, it still leaves

> thousands of children with nothing. Parents claim

> their vaccine-injured children will be cast aside as

> " collateral damage " 3/4a product of the war against

> disease.

>

> The short statute is just one of the many reasons

> parents are demanding the NVICP program have open,

> fair hearings in Congress. They claim it sorely needs

> an overhaul to expose the program's problems in the

> light of day and address them using the best

> legislation possible. For weeks they have been

> saturating senate offices with faxes and e-mails.

>

> Congressman Dan Burton (R-IN), a conservative

> republican with three years of oversight investigation

> behind him on the NVICP, is negotiating with Senator

> Frist and others prior to this Wednesday's mark-up.

> " Parents are hopeful that Representative Burton can

> help Senator Frist see the issue as parents do, " said

> Laura Bono, parent of a vaccine induced

> mercury-poisoned son who is currently chelating

> mercury from his body in great quantities. " Many

> parents believe it is a simple choice, either the HELP

> Committee is for mercury-poisoning and drug companies,

> or they are for vaccine-injured children and justice. "

>

> If the legislation doesn't cover all families, parents

> say their fight will continue regardless if the bill

> passes. " The public will be made aware of what's

> happening, " says Lori McIlwain, mother of a

> vaccine-injured child and part of the Right to Fight

> Mercury Damage Campaign. " Senator Frist has an

> opportunity to side with America's children. Let's

> hope he takes it. "

> A just-published report in Medical Sentinel (see

> www.factsformedia.com for full report) by Dr. Mark

> Geier and David Geier analyzed mercury doses children

> received from Thimerosal in childhood vaccines while

> comparing it to Federal Safety Guidelines. The doctors

> concluded mercury from Thimerosal did far exceed the

> guidelines and that, " A causal relationship between

> Thimerosal- containing childhood vaccines and

> neurodevelopmental disorders appears to be confirmed. "

>

> Autistic symptoms, regression, and other health

> problems, can be explained by mercury poisoning that

> mirrors the medical and behavioral symptoms of autism.

> Parents believe they have the scientific evidence to

> prove their children were damaged by Thimerosal in

> vaccines, yet they are currently prohibited to enter

> into the NVICP and civil court system.
