Valentino Bocca was given an MMR shot in 2004, at the age of 15 months.

According to his parents, the change in his behavior was immediate. That same

night he refused to eat, and he developed diarrhea during the night. It quickly

went downhill from there. Within days he was no longer able to put a spoon to

his mouth, and he spent nights crying in pain. His parents immediately suspected

the vaccination, but were told this was “impossible.†Valentino

progressively regressed, and received the diagnosis of autism a year later.

  

 In the final analysis, the Italian Health Ministry disagreed with the initial

conclusion of the pediatrician, conceding that the vaccine was at fault.

   

As a result, a court in Rimini, Italy recently awarded the Bocca family a

15-year annuity totaling 174,000 Euros (just under $220,000), plus reimbursement

for court costs, ruling that Valentino “has been damaged by irreversible

complications due to vaccination (prophylaxis trivalent MMR)i.†According to a

featured article in the UK newspaper, The Independentii, about 100 similar cases

are now being examined by Italian lawyers, and more cases may be brought to

court.

       

Luca Ventaloro the family lawyer, said yesterday: **This is very significant for

Britain which uses, and has used, an MMR vaccine with the same components as the

one given to Valentino.

 

It is wrong for governments and their health authorities to exert strong

pressure on parents to take children for the MMR jab while ignoring that this

vaccine can cause autism and linked conditions.** The number of autism cases has

risen sharply since the 1970s, with one in 64 British children affected,** The

Independent reportsiii .

Why is US Media in Black-Out on this Story?

It’s well worth mentioning that this story has yet to be addressed in the US

media… The Daily Mail was the first paper in the UK to talk about it on June

15iv. The Independent was the second to print an article, on June 17. The Daily

Mail was the most substantive of the two. Their version included the following

statements:

**Judge Lucio Ardigo, awarding compensation to the family… said it was

*conclusively established* that Valentino had suffered from an *autistic

disorder associated with medium cognitive delay* and his illness, as Dr Barboni

stated, was linked to receiving the jab. Lawyer Mr Ventaloro explained

yesterday: **This is very significant for Britain which uses, and has used, an

MMR vaccine with the same components as the one given to Valentino. **It is

wrong for governments and their health authorities to exert strong pressure on

parents to take children for the MMR jab while ignoring that this vaccine can

cause autism and linked conditions.**

       

Claudio Simion, a leading member of the lobby group Association for Freedom of

Choice in Vaccination (Comilva), adds: **The Rimini judgment is vitally

important for children everywhere. The numbers with autism are growing. It is a

terrible thing that the authorities turn a blind eye to the connection between

the MMR vaccination and this illness.**

The complete lack of coverage of this case in the US media is a potent example

of how health information is flat out censored in the US. Is it any wonder so

many Americans are still in the dark? Whether hearing about this case in the US

media would sway you to believe vaccines may cause autism or not, the REAL story

here is the fact that you’re not even being allowed to learn about it in the

first place!
