"SafeMinds announced today its opposition of HR 650, inappropriately titled "The Vaccine Accessibility for Children and Seniors Act of 2005," which removes a legal remedy for those injured by vaccines. The title of Rep. Ric Keller's (FL-8) bill is deceptive in that it exclusively addresses product liability lawsuits against vaccine makers.

HR 650 addresses neither increased access to vaccines for children nor seniors; rather the legislation seeks to impose barriers to legal remedies for the vaccine-injured, including those injured from exposure to the mercury-based preservative thimerosal. SafeMinds is the nation's leading organization fighting to rid mercury from all medicines and promoting treatment research for those already injured.

"Each time legislation is introduced to protect the vaccine industry from product liability it is hidden behind a nice title or buried inside legislative minutia," stated Lyn Redwood, president of SafeMinds. "In 2002 legislators attempted a comparable end run on our civil rights by inserting similar language in the Homeland Security Bill, literally in the dark of night"

got to love these people if only for their imaginative use of words..

1. The next step is to push through

manditory vaccinations without exceptions for all.

2. Does it include "workers comp" type remedies for

damages without a law suit -- or is Bush really just protecting Big Pharma?

3. More corporate whoring? Give the green light to wantonly kill/maim

without fear of accountability. What has happened to this once-Republic is sickening.
