On Wednesday January 9th, I attended Science Day Presentations in the
Jennifer Robi vs. Merck and Kaiser Permanente case in Los Angeles
Superior Court. I want to report to our community on the outcome of this
important event and provide some personal commentary.
It is difficult to describe the feelings of elation and frustration
that I experienced during the full day of furious arguments that began
at 9:30 am before Judge Maren Nelson. Due to the restrictions of the
National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, my son and thousands of children
like him, have never been able to have their injuries acknowledged in a
court of law. This day gave families around the globe whose children’s
health was permanently harmed by the HPV vaccine a glimmer of hope that
their injuries and suffering would finally be acknowledged. The
frustration I felt came from the obvious fact that the science relied on
by our federal agencies to approve the HPV vaccine was criminally
inadequate and that Jennifer’s injuries and those of the thousands of
others like her could have been prevented. |
