Wyeth wins thimerosal-autism case in land court

[Guest guest]

I remember this part in December

" Previously, the Court had granted Wyeth's motion to preclude all five

of plaintiffs' expert witnesses from offering testimony at trial

following extensive briefing and a 10-day evidentiary hearing held by

the Court last August. "

I guess its the final verdict.

Anyone doing anything about this corruption of the legal process?

---we should have listened to J.B.or atleast organized a rally at the

courthouse demanding the judge hear both sides of the case. Now they

will be trying to use this as a precedent. Wonder where the judge

will spend his$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Remember, initially the tobacco cases were lost, too. I say don't give

(This is a press release from Wyeth)

Wyeth wins thimerosal-autism case in land court

MADISON, New Jersey - Wyeth (NYSE: WYE) announced today that Wyeth’s

motion for summary judgment in the case of Blackwell, et al. v. Sigma

Aldrich, Inc., et al was granted - an alleged vaccine injury case

claiming that Jamarr Blackwell’s exposure to thimerosal-containing

vaccines caused him to become autistic.

Previously, the Court had granted Wyeth’s motion to preclude all five

of plaintiffs’ expert witnesses from offering testimony at trial

following extensive briefing and a 10-day evidentiary hearing held by

the Court last August.

In his December 21, 2007 Memorandum and Order pertaining to Wyeth’s

evidentiary motion, Judge Berger found that " it is generally accepted

in the relevant scientific community that thimerosal in vaccines does

not cause or contribute to neurodevelopmental disorders such as

autism, " also noting that " it is generally accepted in the relevant

scientific community that autism is genetic in origin except in rare

instances of prenatal exposures to certain substances at defined

periods during pregnancy. "

" This is a significant victory for good science generally,†says

J. ch, a partner at Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP,

who served as lead counsel for Wyeth in this matter. “The Court

appropriately found that plaintiff’s attempt to link autism to

childhood vaccines is contrary to generally accepted science. "

Some of you autism groups, can we pay into a legal fund for these

parents to appeal? We really need to start supporting those willing to

fight for the cause.
