What kind of human being makes money by testifying against disabled children
with autism?
Dr. Eric Fombonne
Dr. Catherine Lord
Dr. Bennet Leventhal
These parasites regularly take the stand in Vaccine Court in hopes of
preventing sick autistic children from receiving financial compensation for
their injuries. When I worked on forensic child abuse cases we had a word for
these psychologists and doctors who were paid to testify against children. I’ll
leave that to your imagination.
It is a free country and these doctors are not breaking the law by making a few
bucks on the backs of kids. However, I think their “work” as anti- child
professional testifiers has been insufficiently discussed and deserves a good
public airing, don’t you?
Dr. Catherine Lord appears in vaccine court with great regularity. Like
Fombonne, Lord appears to relish the opportunity, as a psychologist, to diagnose
children she has never met and draw (erroneous and unqualified) conclusions
about the cause, onset and severity of their medical disorders. Remind me the
next time my son’s GI disease worsens and he loses language to make an
appointment with a good child psychologist. Dr. Bennet Leventhal not only
professionally testifies against children but also is a paid speaker on the
pharmaceutical speaking circuit. Leventhal’s org also accepts huge amounts of
money from vaccine makers.
No one is forced to testify against children in vaccine court. Most doctors
and researchers with even the most rudimentary of scruples will refuse such an
invitation. But not Dr. Eric Fombonne! He probably leases out a condo near the
courthouse as a business tax write off. It is a wonder he has time for anything
else!
Isn’t it interesting that after all these years of testifying against disabled
children, that the tables have turned and Fombonne is now a defendant, charged
with serious academic misconduct by his employer, McGill University. Fombonne is
under investigation for:
1) unlawful access to confidential medical record and blood samples of children
in his 2006 “Pediatrics” article
2) Fombonne accessed these records without the parental consent of the 220 parents of his research participants
3) Fombonne is charged with violating Articles 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24 of the Quebec Civil Code
4) He is also charged with violating McGill Ethical Guidelines involving research on human subjects.
I have no information about whether or not McGill has yet to acquit Fombonne
or find him guilty of these crimes, only that many angry Canadian parents are
awaiting a decision. Let’s hope justice is served. If Fombonne is found guilty
his research projects will be frozen and he will likely be fired.
Isn’t it interesting that one of the loudest voices decrying the “unethical”
behavior of Dr. Andrew Wakefield was Fombonne’s? The British medical authorities
could not find one, not one, parent who expressed anything except gratitude to
Dr. Wakefield for helping their child. Meanwhile, I can barely keep up with all
the news and e-mails from all the incensed Canadian parents who feel that
Fombonne has used their children’s disease for his own purposes of deceit and
manipulation.
Isn’t sunlight the best disinfectant? Let’s get this all out in the open! If you
are a parent of one of the children in Fombonne’s studies how do you feel about
all this?

Thanks for
always being there for us Katie!
Bow tie Benny (Leventhal) not only testifies against us for the cut rate of 30
pieces of silver, he insults our beautiful children for free. During his biased,
pharmacetical infomercial that was his testimony against my then 9 year old son
suffering from Autism. He casually galanced at a photo of my angelic son and
immedeately diagnosed him with dysmorphic features. This statement alone should
have discredited his testimony, Colin has been treated and evaluated by some of
the best and most ethical Doctors in the country, and there has never been the
slightest hint of any diagnosis other than Autism. He is extremely bright and
fighting with all his will to overcome the injury that unscrupulous greedy rats
like "benny" have put upon him. As you know Katie, if Colin could sit still for
more than 3 seconds he would be making a nice living off a budding modeling
career. I personally found this insult against my son more difficult to take
than the Kangaroo court ruling made against him, and if I ever run into "bow tie
benny" in a New York City alley he will get a free clinic on what dysmorphic
features really look like.....
We put extraordinary effort onto helping our fragile, innocent, and most
vulnerable of children, to let some disgrace of the medical community put them
down, looking foward to your vist benny. Timothy P. Dwyer
