Omnibus Vaccine Legislation THREAT Thu, 18 Nov 2004 17:52:12 -0000 - Ingri Cassel Undisclosed-Recipient:; Friday, November 12, 2004 9:33 AM ACTION ALERT!!! Omnibus Vaccine Legislation THREAT Dear Members and Friends - This action alert is SO important to act on. Some members of Congress are actually proposing to nearly double the budget of the Justice Dept. that is appropriated for litigating cases of vaccine injury claims. What is even more shocking is the utter contempt they are showing to families of vaccine-injured children. Since they are anticipating more and more claims of mercury damaged children as a result of the cumulative effects of mercury from thimerosal in childhood vaccines --and the recommended vaccine schedule kept increasing annually, and now semi-annually with the flu shot added mid-stream this year, do you think they would recommend that the vaccine injury compensation fund increase also????!!!!! Not a chance. They actually want to keep it at the same level as last year. (Please scroll down to the bottom to see actually figures of proposed budgets. Amazing!) The government is anticipating that increasing its budget to defend against vaccine injury claims will PREVENT an increase in compensation being awarded from VICP for what they will refer to as " alleged " mercury damage cases arising from thimerosal. You can only imagine how far they will use their new found Justice Dept. muscle ($$$) to claim that the mercury must be coming from environmental sources. How about using this fiasco to overturn the compulsory vaccination laws in your state? Getting the 2000 Simpsonwood transcripts out more through such articles as Blaylock's The Truth Behind the Vaccine Cover-Up (on Mercola.com) would be a good start in exposing Public Health's blatant criminal acts on a grand scale. It certainly is long overdue. I'm reading fascinating history from England's eventual repeal of the Vaccination Acts in 1890 (their compulsory smallpox vaccination laws). Makes me wonder how a " free " people could ever allow such a tyranny of forced/coerced injections of disease, heavy metals and known carcinogens. ~Ingri We want to thank all of the courageous moms of special children who have been damaged by thimerosal-containing vaccines for networking with others in your state, and making sure their story got to the press. The thimerosal issue is only the beginning.... Repealing the compulsory vaccination laws is next. From http://www.nationalautismassociation.org/ IT'S STARTING. Parents, Caregivers, and Friends; All the work we have done in the past few years to fight Frist is coming to a head. With this past election, those who are supported most by pharmaceutical companies have more ammunition than ever before. It's time to pre-empt their inevitable attempt to remove our children's rights once again. Here's what we think is going to happen: - Most likely, Frist will run for President in 2008. This means he will try to keep his name as far away from the controversy as possible. He doesn't want to anger us, but will indeed have someone do his dirty work for him as we've seen in the past. This person's name is Judd Gregg. He's a Senator with ties to pharma, and he wants all of your Thimerosal cases to be shoved six-feet under. - A large three-in-one bill is currently under construction. Political sources say this bill will come before Committee next Wednesday. This bill already contains language that allows an ADDITIONAL $2.3 million (on top of the already $4 million) to the Department of Justice to SPECIFICALLY fight Thimerosal cases. In fact, read the language below. This particular bill just passed in the House, and will likely pass in the Senate. We feel that Frist's inevitable legislation (provision or stand-alone bill), possibly under the guise of a different handler, will be a one-two punch. - Basically, they're assigning $ 2.3 million to fight the cases, and after that, Frist, or whomever his alias will be, will introduce legislation to once again block the cases altogether. We fear he will attach his language to the large aforementioned bill. HELP, HELP, HELP, HELP! WHY? Because without Thimerosal cases going through, several things will happen, including the following: - The truth will never emerge. Forget it. Without the truth, large sums of money for government research on 1) Vaccinations and their effects on the immune system and 2) Detoxification of heavy metals and re-growth of neurons will never happen, and medical professionals will never know how to properly treat our children. - Pharma will never have incentive to prevent such gross negligence ever again. - Families who are bankrupt or can't afford care for their child(ren) to reach their fullest potential will never get what's entitled to them. We can sell t-shirts all day long, but we'll never have enough money to help all these families get the care they need. This is why so many of us fight for these cases. Remember, without money/resources needed in order for a child to progress, there is little hope. WHAT YOU CAN DO...AND WE NEED IT NOW MORE THAN EVER!: WRITE, WRITE, WRITE, SEND, SEND, SEND! When?

For three years, Senators Bill Frist and Judd Gregg have worked more on behalf of pharmaceutical companies than America's children. Frist's ominous language that blocks legitimate vaccine cases has shown up frequently through the years, including the notorious rider, which appeared within the Homeland Security Act in the dead of night. They will stop at nothing to help their pharmaceutical friends. Recently, a bill (HR 4754) that allows the Department of Justice $2.3 million in additional funds ($4 million total) to fight my child's Thimerosal case, passed in the House and is sure to pass in the Senate. It is my feeling that even more Thimerosal language is on the way. As a voter, I am asking you to be on the lookout for such language that will remove my child's rights to fair litigation. The upcoming Appropriations Bill will be a perfect opportunity for those against the civil rights of the vaccine-injured to act. The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP) was designed to help families like mine care for their injured child. My child was not only injured by vaccines, but may never live independently and struggles everyday to live a normal life. Who will help? The government promises that if any child is injured by a vaccine, they will receive care. My child has not. Now Senators Frist and Gregg are likely to once again try to add legislation to make sure that all of these vaccine-injured children lose their civil rights. Thousands of families of special-needs children are going bankrupt, and many are selling their homes just to pay for care that insurance does not cover. Moreover, these lawsuits give our children the voice that was taken away. The right to have fair litigation. The right to have compensation for care. Why do these Senators continue in their attempts to remove these rights when three out of every four NVICP cases are thrown out in the first place? Senator Frist continues to call my child's hope of having good care " frivolous " and will tell you that vaccine-makers have left the market for fear of liability. Both are untrue. The OMB has reported numerous times that vaccine-makers have not left the market, yet have merged with other manufacturers. This is why they are fewer. Their words are full of trickery to help their own special interest. Please be on the lookout for language that removes the rights of the vaccine-injured, and please do not support anything that allows pharmaceutical companies more favors than your constituents. Especially those who cannot speak for themselves. Sincerely, (your name) Parents, HERE IS THE BILL LANGUAGE adding DOJ Funds if you would like to read it: H.R.4754 DEPARTMENTS OF COMMERCE, JUSTICE, AND STATE, THE JUDICIARY, AND RELATED AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS BILL, FISCAL YEAR 2005. The House has passed it's version of the bill. The Senate bill is ready for Senate floor consideration. Both House and Senate versions include a $2.3M plus up for the DOJ to fight the thimerosal claims - this brings the total to $6.3M for DOJ to litigate against these claims - funding an additional 13 persons at DOJ. (The House and Senate also include another $3.4M for the operations of the court of federal claims in this bill.) See below for excerpts: Following are the excerpts from the report accompanying the HOUSE bill. H.R. 4754, House Report 108-576) VACCINE INJURY COMPENSATION TRUST FUND The Committee recommends $6,333,000 for the Vaccine Injury Compensation Trust Fund to cover the Department of Justice's expenses associated with litigating cases under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986.

The recommendation provides for one additional special master and staff needed because of an increase in case filings. Following are the excerpts from the report accompanying the SENATE bill.
