US Media Blacks Out Italian Court Ruling That MMR Vaccine Caused Child’s Autism
Valentino
Bocca was given an MMR shot in 2004, at the age of 15 months. According
to his parents, the change in his behavior was immediate. That same
night he refused to eat, and he developed diarrhea during the night. It
quickly went downhill from there. Within days he was no longer able to
put a spoon to his mouth, and he spent nights crying in pain. His
parents immediately suspected the vaccination, but were told this was
“impossible.” Valentino progressively regressed, and received the
diagnosis of autism a year later.
In the final analysis, the Italian Health Ministry disagreed with
the initial conclusion of the pediatrician, conceding that the vaccine
was at fault.
As a result, a court in Rimini, Italy recently awarded the Bocca
family a 15-year annuity totaling 174,000 Euros (just under $220,000),
plus reimbursement for court costs, ruling that Valentino “has been
damaged by irreversible complications due to vaccination (prophylaxis
trivalent MMR).” According to a featured article in the UK newspaper,
The Independent, about 100 similar cases are now being examined by
Italian lawyers, and more cases may be brought to court.
“Luca Ventaloro the family lawyer, said yesterday: “This is very significant for Britain which uses, and has used, an MMR vaccine with the same components as the one given to Valentino.It is wrong for governments and their health authorities to exert strong pressure on parents to take children for the MMR jab while ignoring that this vaccine can cause autism and linked conditions.” The number of autism cases has risen sharply since the 1970s, with one in 64 British children affected,” The Independent reports .
Why is US Media in Black-Out on this Story?
It’s well worth mentioning that this story has yet to be addressed in the US media… The Daily Mail was the first paper in the UK to talk about it on June 15. The Independent
was the second to print an article, on June 17. The Daily Mail was the
most substantive of the two. Their version included the following
statements:
“Judge Lucio Ardigo, awarding compensation to the family… said it was ‘conclusively established’ that Valentino had suffered from an ‘autistic disorder associated with medium cognitive delay’ and his illness, as Dr Barboni stated, was linked to receiving the jab. Lawyer Mr Ventaloro explained yesterday: ‘This is very significant for Britain which uses, and has used, an MMR vaccine with the same components as the one given to Valentino. ‘It is wrong for governments and their health authorities to exert strong pressure on parents to take children for the MMR jab while ignoring that this vaccine can cause autism and linked conditions.’ Claudio Simion, a leading member of the lobby group Association for Freedom of Choice in Vaccination (Comilva), adds: ‘The Rimini judgment is vitally important for children everywhere. The numbers with autism are growing. It is a terrible thing that the authorities turn a blind eye to the connection between the MMR vaccination and this illness.’”The complete lack of coverage of this case in the US media is a potent example of how health information is flat out censored in the US. Is it any wonder so many Americans are still in the dark? Whether hearing about this case in the US media would sway you to believe vaccines may cause autism or not, the REAL story here is the fact that you’re not even being allowed to learn about it in the first place!
