Re: Writing to Government ()

[Guest guest]

Yep... a bunch of pissed off moms and dads. This was how Wisconsin's

law was passed as profiled in " DPT:Vaccine Roulette " as aired on NBC

back in the 1980s. Started by a mom whose child became severely

damaged...if I remember right retarded. I am telling you...mess with

moms and dads and there will be consequences:)

I know of the mom in Wisconsin. Her name is Marge Grant and she is a

wonderful person. Her son is now about 40 years old and was severely damaged

and sustained physical and mental disabilities. His name is . About 20

years ago, I called her and asked her for tips and advice for getting through

the day with my vaccine damaged baby. She was a great source of strength,

encouragement and information to me and I will always be grateful to her.

She has persevered through many hardships and she and her husband have made a

difference in the vaccine controversy.

We would all do well to pattern ourselves after her.

Who are the members of the HEP B subcommittee? Could someone post their

names and addresses and FAX numbers?

Thanks!
