RyanvHHSMMR[1]Measles Judgement

American parents awarded £600,000 in compensation after their son developed  autism as a result of MMR vaccine

• The  Californian couple said that son Ryan was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum  Disorder

Parents who claim their 10-year-old boy  developed autism as a result of being injected with an MMR vaccine when he was a  baby have been awarded more than £600,000 in a landmark court decision in  America.

Saeid and Parivash Mojabi claimed that son  Ryan suffered a ‘severe and debilitating injury to his brain’ after being  administered with two measles-mumps-rubella vaccinations in December, 2003 and  in May the following year.

They said in court papers that Ryan was  diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

The ruling comes months after a judge in  Italy awarded £140,000 to an Italian couple who said their son had autism after  his routine childhood MMR inoculation.

The American decision – although it doesn’t  lay fault for the child’s disability with the drug – fuels anti-MMR campaigners  challenging the view of the majority of the medical profession that holds the  vaccinations are safe.

The claim was against the US government which  set up a Vaccine Programme. Although a judgement rules whether or not each case  is eligible for compensation and the amount – in this case against the US Health  Department – it does not apportion blame.

The San Jose, California, based family took  their case to the US Court of Federal Claims in 2006.

Under the National Vaccine Injury  Compensation Programme, parents can petition the US government for compensation  for injuries or deaths allegedly caused by compulsory childhood  vaccines.

A judgement in Ryan’s case, which was first  filed in 2006, was made on December 13 last year by the Office of Special  Masters set up by US Congress to decide on compensation claims. The defendant in  the case was the US Secretary of Health and Human Services.

The damages payment takes into account the  boy’s future loss of earnings because it’s unlikely he will be able to  work.

In statements to the court, Ryan’s  grandmother Paravaneh Shah-Mohammadi and his aunt Pooran Vahabi told how the boy  appeared ‘lethargic’, ‘hardly responsive to noises and people around him,’and  ‘unable to hold himself upright’ after having the first MMR  vaccination.

The number of autism cases in the UK has  soared over the past four decades. At the last count researchers found one in 64  British children have some kind of autistic condition.

In the Eighties, only four in every 10,000  children showed any signs of autism.

The Department of Health and NHS doctors  insist that better diagnosis of autism and environmental factors are responsible  for the dramatic rise in the number of cases and dismissed MMR vaccinations as a  cause.

No link between the jabs and autism has been  found in the British courts.

In America, nearly 5,000 families blame the  MMR injection for causing their children’s autism.

In 2008, a girl called Hannah Poling was  awarded £1 million damages by the US government when a court ruled that  receiving nine vaccines in one day, including the MMR, had caused her autistic  condition.

But the court said that Hannah had an  underlying cell disorder, mitochondria, which had been aggravated by the  vaccinations and manifested itself as autism.

In Ryan’s case, Chief Special Master Patricia  Campbell-Smith decided his family was eligible for damages under the US  government’s Vaccine Programme.
