Give me a bit, and I'll respond; I have 1035 more e-mails to scroll

[ ] getting an award from the NVIC

OK, Jeff, and any other lawyers on the list,

I guess this is kinda a " free legal advice " question, but I'll be

bold and ask anyway. What makes a good legal case for a successful

award from the NVIC or an individual lawsuit against a ... I don't

know who I should be suing anyway.

My sense is the " best " cases for suit are the post DTP fever/

seizure/ encephalitis cases that start with symptoms hours after the

shot. Well, what about in our case, where there was no ER visit, we

just complied with the recommended vaccine schedule, and gradually

thereafter she lost eye contact? Does it matter that the

" recommended " vaccine regimen that we followed was altered twice

after we followed it to the letter, first by delaying the Hep B

series (because of cumulative Hg dosing exceeding FDA requirements)

then by the thimerosal-free changes now taking effect?

We didn't even realize it at the time for over a year, after the age

6 month " bolus " of mercury, but in retrospect within 2-3 months she

had " motor planning issues " and couldn't learn how to crawl. We

never expressed concern during any pediatric visits at the time, so

there's no documentation in the medical record. Does documentable

mercury output during the chelation process help the case? Does the

Bernard paper comparing Hg toxicity with autism impress the powers

that be that decide these cases?
