Guest guest Posted November 21, 2002 Report Share Posted November 21, 2002 Hi all, Don't mean to keep kicking a dead horse but there is an article in the Oregonian today section D page 1 " Eleventh-hour add to security bill limits suits over Vaccines " All those pending autism suits in Portland just got flushed they will only be able to go to the Fed board max settlement $250,000 they were seeking over a billion dollars in a class action suit with oever a 100 families involved they can only sue if the board turns down their request. Eli Lilly & Co. came out smelling like a rose on this issue, they donated millions to the election campaigns and someone unknown Rep. in the House at the last minute tacted on this to the homeland security bill. They have been trying to find out who did it but the name of the Rep. is unavailable--now isn't that odd. I would think he would proud to stand up and be counted for helping with the Homeland Security Bill. The article goes on to list 2-3 people ( a former senior V.P. as director of the OMB and the current (not former) Chairman, President and CEO to the Homeland Security Advisory Counsel) form Eli Lilly who are now in very prominent positions in the Bush admin.. Makes us wonder if the ACA/ICA could come up with 15-20 million to give to the next national election where some of the DC's might end up in the administration say head of the FDA or Medicare--Oh well one can dream can't they.
