On Friday a special US court, the “vaccine court” charged with adjudicating claims against vaccine makers ruled that there was no causal connection between childhood vaccines and autism. The court—formally known as the Office of Special Masters of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims—was created by Congress in the 1980s to centralize lawsuits brought for injuries resulting from vaccination. The court labored in obscurity until recently, when it began to hear cases involving autistic children whose condition, their parents alleged, was triggered by vaccines that contained thimerosal, a preservative that once was common in the MMR (“Measles-Mumps-Rubella”) vaccine.
One of the remarkable aspects of this story is how much ordinary people distrust the major medical associations and health organizations whose sole objective is to watch out for those people’s health.
