On February 13, 2009, the U.S. Court of Federal Claims “exonerated” vaccines in the debate over the causes of autism. Three judges ruled that the MMR vaccine, given in combination with thimerosal-containing vaccines, does not cause autism.

This breaking news story resonated for days across more than 1800 news outlets, websites, blogs and major TV networks. Of course, the vaccine industry’s darling pediatrician, Dr. Paul Offit, chief of Infectious Diseases and the director of the Vaccine Education Center at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, chirped gleefully that this was a “real victory for children and a great day for science.”

What got little fanfare was the report release only a few days later, on February 25, a different Court and a different judge had ruled in 2007 that the MMR vaccine had indeed caused Bailey Banks’ autism. The government had issued compensation of more than $800,000 to care for this child for the rest of his life.

And what got no attention whatsoever was the February 2, 2009 vaccine court ruling that the hepatitis b vaccine had, indeed, caused an MS-like illness in an adult woman who ultimately died from her disease. The connection between hepatitis b shot and MS (multiple sclerosis) has long been denied by pro-vaccine forces and the medical establishment.

There are hundreds of studies and reports in the medical literature of vaccine injury and death. I have many of them documented in my book, Saying No To Vaccines. None of this information makes headline news.

Pharma is fighting fiercely to retain keep making us their customers for life. Vaccines are relatively cheap but the real money is in the drugs they sell us to treat us after we have been damaged by vaccines. Making us sick in childhood will continue to drive their $500B/year industry.

How hard would you fight to save this lucrative business if it was yours?
