<BTW NO ONE has been PROVEN brain damaged from a vaccine. Spreading
false info about this  does a great disservice.>

The Çongress of the United States of America passed the National Childhood
Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, PP-660, to compensate families of children who
have been permanently disabled or died from a vaccine reaction. A parent
must first waive their right to sue the vaccine manufacturer in order to
file a claim with the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Comensation program.
A booklet summarizing the bill is available from the National Vaccine
Information Center. Since 1988, an exise tax is added to each dose of
vaccine to pay the damage awards.

By 1992, the program had made compensation awards of $202.5 million dollars
to individuals (or their heirs) for injury and deaths caused by vaccine
reactions.

The injuries include brain damage and death.

Our pediatrician never expressed his personal views on vaccinations although
he did provide a great deal of literature supporting, questioning and
criticising vaccines. He encouraged us to learn about the issues and make an
informed decision.

I do the same with my clients.

For anyone who is interested in learning more about vaccine risks and
benefits, a booklet titled THE IMMUNIZATION RESOURCE GUIDE; WHERE TO FIND
ANSWERS TO ALL YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT CHILDHOOD IMMUNIZATIONS, by Diane
Rozario, provides a thorough book review of the literature regarding
vaccines. It is neither pro nor anti vaccine in bias.
