WOW!

Thank you for going to the trouble of posting all of this. I will read this when I have more time.

I hope your son fully recovers. Perhaps a lawsuit would teach these people inthe medical community to stop abusing their authority?

"Perhaps a lawsuit would teach these people inthe medical community to stop abusing their authority?"

I believe this would teach them a lesson but the drug companies are using all of their influence to make sure that this does not happen. There are four bills they are hoping to see passed that will protect them from all liability. The National Autism Assocation, of which I am a member, posted the following alert regarding these bills:

- Over the last few weeks, our community has been dealing with S.3, a bill that would remove children's rights, remove already-passed bans on mercury and protect drug companies from liability.

- What's happened is that pieces of language in S3 have ended up in smaller, multiple bills. They're using sort of a "shot-gun" approach to get the language passed.

- THERE ARE THREE NEW BILLS INTRODUCED: HR650, S366 AND HR 534. ALL hurt our children's rights and impede efforts to protect other children.

- THEY WILL NOT OUTSMART US. THEY WILL NOT REMOVE OUR CHILDREN'S RIGHTS! We must tackle these smaller bills, or our children's rights will be in jeopardy. This is not an action alert, rather a Parents-taking-back-control alert. IT IS BEYOND URGENT, BEYOND IMPORTANT...WITH YOU, WE WILL WIN!
