Vaccine Law: Friend or Adversary?

Vaccine Law: Friend or Adversary?: By MEREDITH BIGGS - Many children have suffered neurological problems from a DTP vaccine. In fact, DTP vaccinations are responsible for the majority of proven vaccine-related injuries, and the injuries are primarily neurological. Unfortunately, the current laws are tipped in favor of vaccine manufacturers. Congress established the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program which uses a table that lists the compensable symptoms for each vaccine. This creates an unusual dichotomy whereby victims with very specific symptoms that fit in the table have to do virtually nothing to get compensation; but victims with even slightly different symptoms have to prove virtually everything to get any compensation.
