The next chapter in the vaccine autism story begins tomorrow

In 2008 s Hopkins Neurologist Jon Poling went public with the news that his daughter Hannah, who regressed into autism following her 18 month vaccines, was paid by the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.CDC, in a public statement, claimed that the Hannah Poling case was "rare" and should not be generalized to "normal" children. Days after the Poling's announcement, the Hiatt family also went public with their VICP ruling that their autistic daughter Madison was also a vaccine injury victim. Then the Banks family went public. Finally, CBS News reported finding 7 more vaccine/autism cases that dated back to 1991, the very beginning of the autism epidemic.So the autism community wanted to know... just how many cases of autism have been paid by the program that was established in 1986, how "rare" is this, and what did the government know about vaccine injury and autism causation that they were not telling the public and the medical community. After being questioned by a journalist, the department of HHS that oversees the VICP issued the following statement on whether this was an admission that the government was now paying children for vaccine induced autism. The "official response" from HRSA:

"From: Bowman, (HRSA) Sent: Friday, February 20, 2009 5:22 PMTo: 'dkirby@...'Subject: HRSA Statement,In response to your most recent inquiry, HRSA has the followingstatement:The government has never compensated, nor has it ever been ordered tocompensate, any case based on a determination that autism was actuallycaused by vaccines. We have compensated cases in which childrenexhibited an encephalopathy, or general brain disease. Encephalopathymay be accompanied by a medical progression of an array of symptomsincluding autistic behavior, autism, or seizures.Some children who have been compensated for vaccine injuries may haveshown signs of autism before the decision to compensate, or mayultimately end up with autism or autistic symptoms, but we do not trackcases on this basis.Regards, BowmanOffice of CommunicationsHealth Resources and Services Administration"This admission of a link to autism, and the disturbing revelation that the government was not even planning on counting how many autism cases it had paid from the vaccine injury fund, made it clear that HHS's claims of concern for the rise in autism rates and concern for vaccine safety were less than sincere, and that it was time for an investigation into the VICP to find out how many of the cases of vaccine induced encephalopathy (brain damage) resulted in "autistic behavior, autistic symptoms or autism" as Bowman had referenced.Tomorrow the results of this two year investigation will be revealed and we will get a better look into what the government knows about vaccine/autism causation and how long they have known it.Please tune in to the press conference tomorrow (streaming live on the internet at USTREAM), Tuesday, May 10 at Noon Eastern to the announcement take place on the steps of the US Supreme Court, that ruled only two months ago that vaccine injury cases would never be heard in a court of law, but must go through the corrupt Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.The EBCALA Press Release:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEELIZABETH BIRT CENTER FOR AUTISM LAW AND ADVOCACY (EBCALA)CONTACT NICOLE WILLIAMSORDANIELLE ORSINOInvestigators and Families of Vaccine-Injured Children to Unveil Report Detailing Clear Vaccine-Autism Link Based on Government’s Own DataReport Demands Immediate Congressional ActionDirectors of the Birt Center for Autism Law and Advocacy (EBCALA), parents and vaccine-injured children will hold a press conference on the steps of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims (717 Madison Place, NW in Washington, DC) on Tuesday, May 10 at 12:00 PM to unveil an investigation linking vaccine injury to autism. For over 20 years, the federal government has publicly denied a vaccine-autism link, while at the same time its Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) has been awarding damages for vaccine injury to children with brain damage, seizures and autism. This investigation, based on public, verifiable government data, breaks new ground in the controversial vaccine-autism debate.The investigation found that a substantial number of children compensated for vaccine injury also have autism. The government has asserted that it “does not track†autism among the vaccine-injured. Based on this preliminary investigation, the evidence suggests that autism is at least three times more prevalent among vaccine-injured children than among children in the general population.The federal government has called autism a “national health emergency,†conservatively affecting 1 in 110 children and costing the country billions of dollars each year.Because almost all children in the United States are required by law to receive between 30-45 vaccines in order to attend public school, it is crucial that the VICP decide cases with justice and transparency.EBCALA and the families of the vaccine-injured call on Congress to investigate the VICP, the only forum in which parents may bring claims of vaccine injury on behalf of their children.WHERE: United States Court of Claims717 Madison Place, NWWashington, DCWHEN: Tuesday, May 1012:00 PM noon--Thank you,EBCALA Host Committee
