"But last week, the parents of yet another child with autism spectrum
disorder (ASD) were awarded a lump sum of more than $810,000 (plus an
estimated $30-40,000 per year for autism services and care) in compensation
by the Court, which ruled that the measels-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine had
caused acute brain damage that led to his autism spec"
"The Bailey decision is not an isolated ruling. We now know of at least two
other successful ADEM cases argued in Vaccine Court."
"More significantly, an explosive investigation by CBS News has found that
since 1988, the vaccine court has awarded money judgments, often in the
millions of dollars, to thirteen hundred and twenty two families whose
children suffered brain damage from vaccines. In many of these cases, the
government paid out awards following a judicial finding that vaccine injury
lead to the child's autism spectrum disorder. In each of these cases, the
plaintiffs' attorneys made the same tactical decision made by Bailey Bank's
lawyer, electing to opt out of the highly charged Omnibus Autism Proceedings
and argue their autism cases in the regular vaccine court. In many other
successful cases, attorneys elected to steer clear of the hot button autism
issue altogether and seek recovery instead for the underlying brain damage
that caused their client's autism. "
