Guest guest Posted March 25, 2001 Report Share Posted March 25, 2001 Sorry for putting this in if you get the Feat News, but I think that this is exciting . They have documentation and lab reports . Maybe now they will listen when we say our children regressed from vaccines. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------- The law firm of Waters & Kraus, LLP, based in Dallas, Texas, announced today that it has filed the first known civil case alleging that the mercury-based preservative thimerosal, used recently in more than 30 childhood vaccines, has caused mercury poisoning in many children. Counter, et al v. Abbott Laboratories, et al, (Cause No. GN 100866, 200th District Court - County, Texas). The symptoms of mercury poisoning are, in many cases, identical to the symptoms of autism, although the suit does not allege that all persons suffering from the symptoms of autism do so as a result of mercury poisoning. However, many children suffering from mercury poisoning have been previously diagnosed with autism due to the similarity of symptoms. Children have been exposed to cumulative levels of mercury from the vaccines that exceed threshold safety levels that have been established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. In many instances, children carry unmistakable evidence of mercury poisoning and the symptoms of mercury poisoning were first manifested after receiving vaccines tainted by thimerosal. In many cases, children exhibited normal neurological and other developmental patterns until such time as the cumulative dose of mercury caused irreparable damage to both the neurological and the general developmental process. For example, many children had developed language and other skills that were later lost as the result of the cumulative exposure to mercury. Thimerosal is a mercury-based additive. Mercury has been known to be hazardous for literally hundreds of years, and its dangers have been well known and documented during all times when the defendants manufactured and/or sold mercury-containing pediatric vaccine products. Waters & Kraus anticipates that a significant number of individual cases against the vaccine industry will be filed in the near future. The firm anticipates investigating and prosecuting individual claims throughout the United States, in conjunction with the following firms and others: Evert & Weathersby, LLP Atlanta, Georgia Dogan & Wilkinson, PLLC Pascagoula, Mississippi Doran & , LLP Buffalo, New York Leach, Schwarz & Strassberg Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania , , Parris & Raleigh, North Carolina Tessener Law Offices, PLLC Additional inquiries should be addressed to Miles at Waters & Kraus (Dallas), or miles@.... Potential claimants should call Claire Bothwell at Waters & Kraus (California), or bothwell@.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2001 Report Share Posted March 25, 2001 Do they plan a class action suit, where all of us could climb on board? To persue this on my own would be financially impossible, but since I do believe mercury has contributed to my sons Autism I would love to climb on board a suit already filed.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2001 Report Share Posted March 25, 2001 Yes, they plan a class action. Contact Claire (see bottom of article on the original post & click on her email address). They are picking plaintiffs with very solid med records (which left us out). Also, there are some statute of limitation issues, too. BUT everyone interested can contact the firm and let them sort out which cases fit. There's also a large class action in the UK re the MMR and another in Canada re dental amalgams/mercury. Things are definitely heating up. HI > Do they plan a class action suit, where all of us could climb on board?

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2001 Report Share Posted March 26, 2001 , What is Claire's email address again for the lawsuit? I deleted it in my sleep deprived state last night.
