"But last week, the parents of yet another child with autism spectrum 
disorder (ASD) were awarded a lump sum of more than $810,000 (plus an 
estimated $30-40,000 per year for autism services and care) in compensation 
by the Court, which ruled that the measels-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine had 
caused acute brain damage that led to his autism spec"

"The Bailey decision is not an isolated ruling. We now know of at least two 
other successful ADEM cases argued in Vaccine Court."

"More significantly, an explosive investigation by CBS News has found that 
since 1988, the vaccine court has awarded money judgments, often in the 
millions of dollars, to thirteen hundred and twenty two families whose 
children suffered brain damage from vaccines. In many of these cases, the 
government paid out awards following a judicial finding that vaccine injury 
lead to the child's autism spectrum disorder. In each of these cases, the 
plaintiffs' attorneys made the same tactical decision made by Bailey Bank's 
lawyer, electing to opt out of the highly charged Omnibus Autism Proceedings 
and argue their autism cases in the regular vaccine court. In many other 
successful cases, attorneys elected to steer clear of the hot button autism 
issue altogether and seek recovery instead for the underlying brain damage 
that caused their client's autism. "
