This lawsuit isn't just for damages and medical expenses. It's for huge pain and suffering awards otherwise the big shot lawyers (greed head vultures) wouldn't be in on it. Sure the families should be made whole, but not by killing our drug companies with unwarranted claims. Let the vultures have their way and no new drugs will be developed by American companies and foreign companies won't do business here.

There has to be balance, drug companies rush things to the market or pressure the system to use drugs/vaccines: Ritalin and the Hep Vaccine come to mind. Schools across the country innoculate children against Hep C, a disease found exclusively in high risk groups: gays; iv drug users; etc. It's a quick way to make a lot of money. And it may have adverse effects: linked to diabetes and autism. Shouldn't the public have a right of redress? I know you are not saying they should not, but don't be too quick to feel the big Pharmaceuticals pain. V's wife.

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.

Sure the families should be made whole, but not by killing our drug companies with unwarranted claims...if a jury finds for the plaintiff then the claim was warranted.

Agree. . .it is clear that the Demrats do not know the difference, and/or do not care, about the line that separates opportunity from opportunism and how their choices create even more innocent victims.

Mostly, they do not care.
