If the stuff DOES cause child autism, $250K is not going to pay for the lifelong maintenance, let alone any pain-and-suffering claims. The families will be bankrupted and thrown on welfare.

True. I can only wonder what kind of compensation the lawyers and victims are seeking. 10 or 20 million per autistic child? And does the substance actually cause autism?

The sad thing is that there has never been a properly done study that showed any kind of relationship of MMR to autism.

It's amazing that people want to rush to sue someone when nobody knows what causes autism. How can a drug company be held responsible for autism when the cause of autism is not known?

1. Vaccines don't cause autism.
2. Trial attorneys are saying it causes autism in order to create more litigation.
3. Pass the Homeland Security Bill in the US Senate.

If Trent Lott can't get this bill passed, we should pass on Trent Lott as Senate Majority Leader.

MOVE IT OR LOSE IT Mr Lott!

SENATOR FRIST FOR SENATE MAJORITY LEADER!
