From the
Washington Post: "Thousands of parents who claimed that childhood vaccines had caused their children to develop autism are wrong and not entitled to federal compensation, a special court ruled today in three decisions with far-reaching implications for a bitterly fought medical controversy."
The
U.S. Court of Federal Claims has posted the decisions in three autism-related cases:
Cedillo v. Secretary of Health and Human Services Case No. 98-916V
Hazlehurst v. Secretary of Health and Human Services Case No. 03-654V
Snyder v. Secretary of Health and Human Services Case No. 01-162V
Additional information is available on the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) website. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) provides background information on autism.
