COUP FOR VACCINATION INDUSTRY: Vaccine Makers Shielded From Autism Liability Lawsuit

I apologize for having to report such disturbing news ... and wish to thank Injury Board for covering this issue so well.


This is bad, bad news for the untold millions of humans damaged by medical devices including breast implants, heart devices etc. etc. etc.), and pharmaceuticals (including vaccinations, Vioxx like deadly drugs etc).

The consequences for the families whose children are not only first injured by these high profit products ... then oft left penniless with an ill / injured child is inhumane.

Please help raise awareness to this disaster ...

EXCERPTS:
An 11-year-old boy with autism and his family cannot proceed with their case against pharmaceutical companies after a judge ruled that federal law pre-empts state claims against companies if their vaccines are FDA-approved. Full article click here.

MEMOIR OF A JUNK SCIENTIST by Bernard M. Patten , MD, FACP, FRSM

From Health Lover, Ilena Rosenthal: Dr. Patten is a brave doctor and fine scientist who dared to speak out about the dangers of breast implants.

"The former President of the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery called me a junk scientist. My lame, but honest, reply is that I am a junk scientist because I have, for the last fifteen years, been studying a piece of junk. That's what the silicone breast implant was and is. Let me explain." Click here to read Dr. Patten's full explanation.

Medtronic Med Device Fails Bridget Robb twice ... No Recourse

In February, 2008, the US Supreme Court gave the medical device makers a multi-billion dollar free ride. The Justices ruled that if the FDA gave the gold standard of 'safety' to a device such as breast implants or heart defibrillators, that alone would protect them from lawsuits. See article here.

Young mother, Bridget Robb is one of millions who may be harmed by this decision. When her Medtronic defibrillator failed nearly killed her, she was further stunned to find that her device had been 'recalled' ... but she never received a notice from Medtronic. She then learned that she had no recourse. Full story here.

This brave woman testified before the Senate on this travesty of justice, along with Thomas O. McGarity, professor of law at the University of Texas, and co-author of a recent book, "Bending Science: How Special Interests Corrupt Public Health Research."

I recall when breast implant maker Mentor had a 'recall' of over 10,000 units some years ago, and yet no woman nor plastic surgeon I asked out of dozens, had ever heard about it.

Congressional Democrats To Draft Bill To Overturn Supreme Court Decision On Medical Devices

Regarding this ill advised, virtual “get out of jail free card” ruling, to benefit mightily the Med Device Industry, I was thrilled to see others equally as upset.

Senator Ted Kennedy sums it up well:

“In enacting legislation on medical devices, Congress never intended that FDA approval would give blanket immunity to manufacturers from liability for injuries caused by faulty devices.” He said that without congressional action “FDA approval will become a green light for shoddy practices by manufacturers” of medical devices.
