Vaccine Court Omnibus Autism Proceeding - Cedillo, Snyder, Hazlehurst Cases Decided
Good luck to the Cedillos, the Snyders and our friends Rolf and Angela Hazlehurst!
(CNN) — A Department of Justice special court will hand down rulings Thursday in cases asking whether certain vaccines cause autism, the lead plaintiffs’ attorney told CNN Wednesday.
A panel of “special masters” will issue decisions on three test cases heard in 2007 involving children with autism that their parents contend was triggered by early childhood vaccination, said attorney Thomas Powers.
The parents seek compensation, saying the “combined” exposure to thimerosal, a mercury-containing preservative, in some vaccines and the MMR vaccine led to autism, he said.
The three families — the Cedillos, the Hazelhursts and the Snyders — have been notified of the development, as have the more than 180 lawyers collectively representing the 4,800 families with claims in the Vaccine Court Omnibus Autism Proceeding, Powers said.

Court rules vaccines didn’t cause autism. Seriously, the only reason this argument exists is a result of Wakefield’s highly questionable and flawed study, the FDA suggesting that mercury be removed from vaccines FOR NO REASON OTHER THEN CAUTION, and people wanting a scapegoat. It sucks your child has a neurological disorder, but all this funding and manpower spent trying to dismiss this baseless claims could’ve been spent working on treatments and cures.
