Supreme Court Ruling Abandons Vaccine-Injured Children, Threatens

Vaccine Safety

Decision in Bruesewitz case leaves

families with no hope of obtaining compensation from drug makers for

vaccine injuries

PRNewswire -The National Autism

Association (NAA)

joins parents nationwide in calling yesterday's Supreme Court decision

in the Bruesewitz case a violation of civil rights. The outcome also

removes any remaining incentive for vaccine manufacturers to make their

product as safe as possible. The Bruesewitz family sought compensation

vaccine was manufactured by Lederle, now owned by Wyeth.

children, but also to the rights of every US citizen," said parent and

NAA board chair Lori McIlwain. "No other industry enjoys such complete

protection from liability for harm caused to people injured by their

products."

for injuries caused by vaccines was first hindered in 1986 when the

National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP) took effect for

children born after October 1988. This program was originally

designed to provide quick, non-adversarial compensation for care to

those suffering injuries from mandated vaccines, while giving claimants

the opportunity to opt out into civil court. Yet the program has since

only served to provide unprecedented protection to vaccine

makers. Unencumbered by litigation, drug companies now
