Vaccine Court

Dear S.Q. My sister is in agony, wanting to believe that vaccines caused her son’s autism based on Trump’s unqualified Secretary of US Department of Health and Human Services blatantly false claims. She wants to take her case to Vaccine Court that I understand is a no-fault alternative where specialized judicial special masters determine if there’s been a vaccine-injury. I tell her that DECADES of thorough research shows no correlation between autism and standard vaccines, but that quack Kennedy has given her new false hope. Help! We are drowning in fake health advice.

Dear Bro, Before your sister files a claim in Vaccine Court, have her read pertinent studies with expert scientific conclusions, then discuss her new hopes with a trusted pediatrician or medical specialist. Vaccine Court involves determining that a person received standard vaccinations that resulted in rare individual harm. Kennedy has no medical expertise, and his debunked claims linking autism to vaccines should be rebutted. -SQ
