$61 Million Dollar Settlement for a Child Injured
by a Vaccine
MB Comment: The horrible
vaccine reaction endured by this baby girl is fairly common in the FDA
Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). When I examine
VAERS reports, I see
many rapid-onset cases like this of stopped heartbeat (sudden death),
seizures and encephalopathy (brain injury) associated with all vaccines
(this one was DTaP). Encephalitis is the medical textbook definition of a
vaccine adverse reaction and VAERS is full of reports like this. No one
at the FDA, CDC or American Academy of Pediatrics cares.
I’m sure government justice department
attorneys fought this case tooth and nail and had professional scumbag
expert witnesses testify against this child. The no-fault Vaccine Injury
Compensation Program (funded by a 75 cent tax on every vaccine) is a pot of
gold that the government and vaccine proponents have raided. They scoff and
stomp on most vaccine reaction victims to add insult to injury, leaving
struggling families with enormous medical bills on top of brain-damaged
children. Somehow this case was decided in favor of the victim. Please note
this family is not getting wealthy from this settlement
– it will simply pay for the lifelong round-the-clock medical expenses of
their vaccine-injured child. If the authorities ever faced up to the true
medical costs of vaccine adverse reactions (extrapolate this $61 million
settlement to thousands of other such cases and you approach half a trillion
dollars), their BS vaccine cost effectiveness studies would disintegrate.
$61 Million Dollar Settlement for a Child
Injured by a Vaccine
‘Court documents show that only hours after
the baby received a routine diphtheria, tetanus and acellular pertussis (DTaP)
vaccination, she started to have seizures, abnormal breathing, irregular
heartbeats, and at 6:05am the next morning, her heart stopped completely. It
took 6 minutes of CPR to revive her. She has spent that last 6 years of her life
suffering from cognitive delays, cerebral palsy, encephalopathy, and seizure
disorder. The family’s attorneys say the $61 million dollar award will pay for
the child’s around the clock medical care for the rest of her life.’
The
U.S Federal Vaccine Court awarded a $61 million settlement for a child
who suffered a severe adverse reaction after an immunization. Vaccine attorneys
at the
law firm
of Maglio Christopher
& Toale, P.A., believed that the
case was clearly a result
of a reaction to the
DTaP
immunization. Court documents
show that only hours after the
baby received a routine
diphtheria,
tetanus and
acellular pertussis
(DTaP) vaccination, she
started to have seizures, abnormal breathing, irregular
heartbeats, and at 6:05am the
next morning,
her
heart stopped completely. It took 6 minutes
of CPR to revive
her. She
has spent that last 6 years

her

Washington, DC (PRWEB) July 01, 2011
S.M.* was born a normal and
healthy baby girl in August 2005, weighing 7 lbs. 12 ounces. Two months
later, her
short, healthy
life changed tragically because
of a rare
severe vaccine reaction.Case documents show that hours after baby S.M.
received a routine diphtheria,
tetanus and acellular pertussis (DTaP) vaccination, she
started to have seizures, abnormal breathing, irregular
heartbeats, and at 6:05am the
next morning,
her
heart stopped completely. It took 6 minutes
of CPR to revive
her. She
has spent that last 6 years
of
her life suffering from cognitive delays, cerebral palsy, encephalopathy,
and seizure disorder.
Vaccine attorneys at the
law firm
of
Maglio Christopher
& Toale, P.A.,
who represented S.M. and
her family argued that the
case (No. 08-463V) was clearly a result
of a terrible reaction to the
DTaP immunization. In fact, after reviewing the
case submitted by Maglio Christopher
& Toale, PA, the
Division
of Vaccine Injury Compensation
of the
Department
of
Health and Human Services agreed that S.M. was indeed entitled to
compensation. "S.M. will need complete, around-the-clock
medical care for the
rest
of
her life,”
says the
family’s vaccine attorney,
Anne Carrión Toale
of Maglio Christopher
& Toale, PA. "The
$61 million dollar settlement amount to be paid out over S.M.’s lifetime
is meant to pay for this care."
This vaccine case was medically complicated
and the
child’s future needs were extensive. “Without legal representation, it
could have turned out very differently,”
says Toale. “That is why we strongly recommend that anyone considering
filing a vaccine case hire an attorney who is experienced in vaccine cases to
represent them,
especially since there
is no cost to victims at all.” Maglio Christopher
& Toale, P.A. has been representing vaccine injured patients for well over a
decade and currently represents hundreds
of patients experiencing
adverse reactions
to vaccines across the
United States
In
1986, Congress set up an elaborate system to compensate patients injured by
adverse reactions to vaccination called the
National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Since its establishment, the
Program has paid out more than a billion dollars in vaccine claims and
currently holds more than three billion dollars in trust for future claims. Whether
a patient is to be compensated for a vaccine injury is determined by the
United States
Court of
Federal Claims
in Washington, DC. Awards by the
Court go directly to vaccine injury victims. Attorneys are paid
separately for their
time by the
Court so that there
are no legal costs to the
victims, even if they
do not win their
claims. “Not only do very few patients know about the
vaccine injury compensation program, very few doctors and lawyers know
about it ,”
says
Altom Maglio, managing attorney
of Maglio Christopher
& Toale, P.A. “It's a huge
help in putting our clients’ lives back together.
Compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and some compensation for
pain and suffering
is huge when
your life has been turned upside down. But there
is a very short window to file your claim,” warns Maglio.
