Book Debut The Vaccine Court: The Dark Truth of America's Vaccine Injury Compensation Program
Join us in congratulating Wayne Rohde on his new book from Skyhorse Publishing, The Vaccine Court: The Dark Truth of America's Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.
You'll be seeing more Skyhorse books from Age of Autism contributors and Editors very soon. From Amazon:
“Here you have it, in black and white: the unfairness, the corruption and system-wide bias, documented for the world to see. The VICP is in need of complete reform, or it needs to be abolished altogether. This book may well trigger the outcry in the public to start that much-needed process. Injustice cannot be addressed until the spotlight is pointed directly at the problem. And Mr. Rohde has done that brilliantly. He has done a great service in writing this book. The VICP can no longer hide in the dark, protected by silence. People can now know the truth, and that is a huge victory. This is a must-read book.” —Sylvia Pimentel, vice-president of the California chapter of the National Autism Association, and founder and moderator of Sac-Autism-Biomed.
“Wayne Rohde has lifted the veil over the murky tort reform experiment known as the “Vaccine Court.” In exposing the program’s imbalanced liability protection for powerful vaccine manufacturers, he has performed a valuable public service.” —Robert J. Krakow, attorney and coauthor of Unanswered Questions from the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program: A Review of Compensated Cases of Vaccine-Induced Brain Injury

“Few Americans know about the US 'Vaccine Court,' yet it may be their only recourse if they suffer an adverse vaccine reaction. In this groundbreaking book, Rohde details how the ‘court’ works, or rather does not work, and the critical problems that bedevil it. Written with compassion and based on extensive research, Rohde’s book is a must-read for all those concerned about the intended and unintended consequences of US vaccines.”—Mary Holland, research scholar, NYU School of Law
About the Author
Wayne Rohde is the father of Nick Rohde, a vaccine-injured child who regressed into severe autism after receiving his first set of childhood vaccinations. He lives in Woodbury, Minnesota.
Wish this book could be kept in the waiting rooms of all pediatricians across America!

Jen, I missed it. I looked up the trailer for it. So what did it say - lots of different reasons and you have to get tested?????
Did he ever list where to go?
I would like to see it -- I wonder if it will be on again and on Direct TV on one of their stations?

Last night there was a fascinating film on TV about Ross McKenzie. I'm not sure if it was called, "Bipolarized," or The Lithium Chronicles," but it was an extremely interesting look at how someone can be incorrectly diagnosed with a mental illness. A more appropriate diagnosis of PTSS was found after much searching on his part and he did chelation for mercury and lead overload. I recommend it for anyone interested in mental health/psychiatric issues.

A much anticipated book .. as they say .. sunlight is the best disinfectant .. and .. Wayne's book is likely to let the sun shine on a subject that has too long remained hidden in the silent .. dark shaddows .. of injustice to the vaccine injured.

Babies have been injured, deliberately, under the guise of protecting them. And those responsible have profited enormously.
That is a level of depravity beyond anything that words can describe.
There are a lot of people with blood on their hands, and awareness of that fact is spreading like wildfire. This incredible offering from Wayne Rohde, is a huge step along the road of bringing them all to justice.

This book was years in the making. Wayne Rohde diligently and thoroughly investigated the Vaccine Injury Compensation program and the families it served... and failed. The facts presented strip away the public's false assumption that vaccine adverse events receive swift, just reparations.
The social compact continues to be broken by people charged with protecting the public's health. That shameful situation is compounded by media's reporting blackout. Books like "The Vaccine Court" will be referenced in future years in attempts to understand how society could let these atrocities continue happening to some of its most vulnerable members.

Please explain how a hidden compensation program that removes any responsibility for vaccine injury from the vaccine makers and from doctors has a place in the American legal system.
This is the biggest disincentive for manufacturers to produce truly safe products. Parents need to realize that the goal here is solely to protect the vaccine program and not the health of our children.
Thank you, Wayne, for writing about this critical topic.

Wayne Rohde has relentlessly sought the truth about Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. He has spent countless hours researching, compiling cases and doing something our government has failed to; talk to vaccine injured and their families and really listen to what they are saying. The monster is exposed. Bravo!

Why has Congress granted vaccine manufacturers in the United States broad legal immunity from families of children seriously injured by their product?
“One argument put forward by the pharmaceutical industry against any application of strict liability is that the drug industry is working for the benefit of mankind in a unique way and cannot be compared with other types of industrial enterprise. It seems that the pharmaceutical industry does not wish to recognize the fact that the main impetus for the running of the pharmaceutical industry, like any other type of industry…is profit.”
Sjostrom and Nilsson, “Thalidomide and the Power of the Drug Companies,” (1972) p. 176.
