Government Again Concedes Vaccines Cause Autism

Mysterious Vaccine Court created in 1986 by the pharmaceutical industry, with
the support of Congress, rules in favor of Bailey Banks against HHS.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 25 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Generation Rescue, Jenny
McCarthy and Jim Carrey'sLos Angeles-based non-profit autism organization,
today announced that the United States Government has once again conceded that
vaccines cause autism. The announcement comes on the heels of the recently
unsealed court case of Bailey Banks vs. HHS. The ruling states, "The Court
found that Bailey would not have suffered this delay but for the
administration of the MMR vaccine...a proximate sequence of cause and effect
leading inexorably from vaccination to PDD [Autism]."

In a curious and hypocritical method of operation, the mysterious Vaccine
Court not only protects vaccine makers from liability but supports a policy
that has tripled the number of vaccines given to U.S. children - all after
being made aware of the fact that these vaccines do, in fact, cause autism and
repeatedly ruling in favor of families with children hurt by their vaccines.

"It was heartbreaking to hear about Bailey's story, but through this ruling we
are gaining the proof we need to open the eyes of the world to the fact that
vaccines do, in fact, cause autism," said Jenny McCarthy, Hollywood actress,
autism activist, best-selling author and Generation Rescue board member.
"Bailey Banks' regression into autism after vaccination is the same story I
went through with my own son and the same story I have heard from thousands of
mothers and fathers around the country. Our hope is that this ruling will
influence decision and policy-makers to help the hundreds of thousands of
children and families affected by this terrible condition."

Banks vs. HHS is the second known case where the Vaccine Court could not deny
the overwhelming evidence showing vaccines caused a child's autism. The first
was the case of Hannah Poling in March of 2008, where the court found in her
favor and awarded her family compensation.

Jim Carrey, Hollywood legend and Generation Rescue board member, reacted to
the news, "It seems the U.S. government is sending mixed messages by telling
the world that vaccines don't cause autism, while, at the same time, they are
quietly managing a separate 'vaccine court' that is ruling in favor of
affected families and finding that vaccines, in fact, were the cause. For
most of the autism community the question is no longer whether vaccines caused
of their child's autism. The question is why is their government only
promoting the rulings that are in favor of the vaccine companies."

Why is a secret court, which no one knows about or understands, quietly paying
these families for vaccine injuries and autism? Deirdre Imus, Generation
Rescue board member and founder of the Deirdre Imus Environmental Center for
Pediatric Oncology says, "Over the past 20 years, the vaccine court has
dispensed close to $2 billion in compensation to families whose children were
injured or killed by a vaccine. I am not against vaccines and my own child
has been vaccinated. But, I share the growing concerns of many parents
questioning the number of vaccines given to children today, some of the toxic
ingredients in vaccines, and whether we know enough about the combination
risks associated with the multiple vaccines given to children during critical
developmental windows."

To help spread the word of the Banks ruling, Generation Rescue also bought a
full-page ad that will run in the USA Today on 02/25/2009, which has a daily
circulation of 2,272,815.
