Don't Ask Me Why My Parents Didn't Join This Case

If you placed a photo of my brother and parents next to this story, and swapped Joe's name for the little girl's in the section about symptoms, it would be identical - can't speak, wears diapers, needs constant monitoring due to epileptic seizures.

The worldwide medical community shivers at the thought of anyone proving essential childhood vaccines led to autism and severe mental retardation.

The whole childhood immunization system would collapse.

I think this is one of those bad secrets that will come back to haunt the field of medicine; they risk a catastrophe on par with Catholic Church sex abuse. The settlements will be even more extreme.

But what do I know? They've got high-price lawyers on their sides, and only a few cases ever get as far as the Cedillo's.

Only this - just that Joe was a happy baby until that damned shot.
