Here we present the US Federal Court’s decision and order in full below. The claimant in this case was dead when the damages were awarded. Tambra Harris died on November 9, 2009. Tambra’s mother and Administratix of her estate, Louvonia Deniece Harris, was substituted as petitioner, and an amended petition was filed on October 15, 2010. Hepatitis B vaccine is given to US infants at birth for a disease which they are not at risk of. Why? At risk groups are intravenous “recreational” drug abusers and those who practice unsafe sex – which rules out new born babies. Whilst the risk factors for babies have changed little, there is now impressive evidence that for a preventive measure, hepatitis B vaccine is remarkable for the frequency, variety and severity of complications from its use. The toxicity of this vaccine is so unusual that, even if crucial data are regrettably concealed or covered by Court order, scientific evidence is already far higher than normally needed to justify severe restrictive measures.“ Quote from French expert Dr. Marc Girard. See CHS article below for full details: UK Government Caught Lying On Baby Hep B Vax Safety. Whilst other evidence is embargoed by the French Courts, Dr Girard has been able to publish a scientific review of the unembargoed evidence from the French Courts of the vaccine’s hazards (Autoimmun Rev 2005; 4: 96-100). Dr Girard shows that French health authorities suppress studies demonstrating serious risks. Hepatitis B vaccine has been shown in many peer reviewed research papers [including from Harvard University - detailed references at end] to be associated with numerous infant deaths in the USA and Europe, multiple sclerosis and numerous chronic auto-immune disorders [see below for more details]. TO BE PUBLISHED - Stipulated Damages; Hepatitis B Vaccine; Alleged Injuries Include Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) _______________________________________ Petitioner, v. SECRETARY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF Respondent. STIPULATED DAMAGES DECISION1 On August 29, 2001, Tambra Harris (“petitioner”), filed a petition for compensation alleging that she suffered certain injuries as a result of receiving a vaccination. 2 Among the injuries petitioner alleged that she had suffered as a result of receiving a hepatitis B vaccination was systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). She sought an award under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program 3 On March 22, 2011, counsel for both parties filed a stipulation, stating that a decision should be entered awarding compensation. The parties stipulated that petitioner shall receive the following compensation: A lump sum of $ 475,000.00 in the form of a check payable to petitioner as Administratrix of the Estate of Tambra Harris. This amount represents compensation for all damages that would be available under 42 U.S.C. §300aa-15(a); and A lump sum payment of $ 9,914.00 in the form of a check jointly payable to petitioner and the State of Mississippi Division of Medicaid, Attn: Ms. Carolyn Hall Williams, Third Party Liability Unit, 550 High Street, Walter Sillers Building, Suite 1000, Jackson MS 39201, for reimbursement of Mississippi’s Medicaid expenses related to Tambra’s care. Stipulation ¶ 8(a) and ¶ 8(b). The undersigned approves the requested amount for petitioner’s compensation. Accordingly, an award should be made in the form of a check payable to petitioner as Administratrix of the Estate of Tambra Harris in the amount of $ 475,000.00. In addition, an additional award should be made in the form of a check payable jointly to petitioner and the State of Mississippi Division of Medicaid in the amount of $ 9,914.00. In the absence of a motion for review filed pursuant to RCFC Appendix B, the clerk of the court SHALL ENTER JUDGMENT in accordance with the terms of the parties’ stipulation. 4 IT IS SO ORDERED. 1 Because this decision contains a reasoned explanation for the undersigned’s action in this case, the undersigned intends to post this decision on the United States Court of Federal Claims’ website, in accordance with the E-Government Act of 2002, Pub.

A Department of Health spokesman was quoted claiming:- The safety of children is always paramount whenever decisions are taken regarding what vaccines are included as part of the child vaccination programme.“: New vaccination fears over plan to give hepatitis jabs at eight weeks old Mail on Sunday 12th April 2009, Vaccination fears over plan for Hepatitis B jabs for babies : Sunday Telegraph 12 Apr 2009. Only cost and not safety is legally permitted to be an objection under the UK New Labour Government’s new law in effect from April 1 this year [full details below]. Whilst 8 week old babies are not at risk from Hepatitis B, they are from the vaccine [full details below]. And Hepatitis B vaccine has been shown in many peer reviewed research papers [including from Harvard University - detailed references at end] to be associated with numerous infant deaths in the USA and Europe, multiple sclerosis and numerous chronic auto-immune disorders. These latter include Guillain-Barre syndrome, lupus, rheumatism, blood disorders and chronic fatigue. The only potential claimed infant risk group is alleged to be babies born in the UK to mothers from countries with claimed-to-have high rates of infection. Around 2000 British born infants are already being vaccinated annually in the UK. At risk groups are intravenous “recreational” drug abusers and those who practice unsafe sex – which rules out 8 week old babies. There has been a criminal judicial investigation in France into the adverse effects of this vaccine. France was the first country to introduce universal Hepatitis B vaccination and saw effects which included the first ever seen and harrowing cases of childhood multiple sclerosis in France. Research also shows that the prevalence of Hepatitis B is low in the UK, consistent with previous estimates and suggesting that many infections were acquired outside the UK. This all suggests Government should concentrate its efforts on effective treatment rather than vaccination of infants against a disease which does not affect them. Proponents of the vaccination claim rates of Hepatitis B infection are “spiralling” but based on “estimates”. Regrettably “estimates” can be “pulled” in one direction or another depending on which direction those responsible for the “estimates” are more interested in seeing them move. And in these circumstances, they can never be justification for vaccinating all babies to protect adult drug abusers and practitioners of unsafe sex. Additionally, UK and EU authorities have withdrawn marketing licences for The safety of the vaccine is not in question, but it is suspected to be ineffective.” MHRA recalls GSK’s Hepatitis B vaccine - 07 Apr 2009 - Regulatory Affairs – Hays Pharma News The other most recent vaccine to lose its European marketing authorisation was Quintanrix [also from GSK] in August last year. The other vaccines are: Infanrix [GSK], Hepacare [Celltech] and Primavax [Aventis Pasteur]. So if ‘The safety of children is always paramount’ why the British Department of Health is even contemplating such a vaccine for 8 week old babies is beyond comprehension.” And do vaccines cause autistic conditions? If you read nothing else we strongly recommend you read this: PDF Download – Text of May 5th 2008 email from US HRSA to Sharyl Attkisson of CBS News]. In it the US Health Resources Services Administration [HRSA] state to CBS News reporter Sharyl Attkisson We have compensated cases in which children exhibited an encephalopathy, or general brain disease. Encephalopathy may be accompanied by a medical progression of an array of symptoms including autistic behavior, autism, or seizures.” After the Hannah Poling story broke in the USA in February 2008 [see CHS article here] under the media spotlight numerous US health officials and agencies conceded on broadcast US nationwide TV news from CBS and CNN. Full details with links to the original sources can be found in this CHS article: Vaccination Causes Autism – Say US Government & Merck’s Director of Vaccines. Hannah developed an autistic condition after 9 vaccines administered the same day. But there is worse to come and it shows the UK’s New Labour Government has been irresponsible handing recently from 1st April 2009 legal power to dictate vaccination policy exclusively to the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation: UK Government Hands Drug Industry Control of Childhood Vaccination. The JCVI regrettably has a demonstrable track-record of recklessness on safety up to and including the present day, as shown in FOI documents: British Government’s Reckless Disregard for Child Health Safety and UK Government Hands Drug Industry Control of Childhood Vaccination. The DoH statement published in The Mail on Sunday is also untrue because:- The main reason for the new drive to more and more vaccines – and this is well published in the trade press – is that the drug industry has been changing its business model. The financial markets have known for many years the old model would fail – that of patented “blockbuster” drugs:- Dr Marc Girard, a specialist in the side effects of drugs and commissioned as a medical expert by French courts in the French criminal investigation into the introduction of universal Hepatitis B vaccination in France,suggests that even in high-endemic countries, the risk/benefit ratio of what he describes as “this unusually toxic vaccine” must be carefully re-assessed. Regarding the health situation in the UK Dr Girard says the conclusion not to vaccinate is obvious. France was the first country to implement universal hepatitis B vaccination in 1994. Whilst other evidence is embargoed by the French Courts, Dr. Marc Girard has also been able to publish a scientific review of the unembargoed evidence of the vaccine’s hazards (Autoimmun Rev 2005; 4: 96-100). Dr Girard shows that French health authorities suppress studies demonstrating serious risks. Dr Girard has previously said: Whilst the risk factors for babies have changed little, there is now impressive evidence that for a preventive measure, hepatitis B vaccine is remarkable for the frequency, variety and severity of complications from its use. The toxicity of this vaccine is so unusual that, even if crucial data are regrettably concealed or covered by Court order, scientific evidence is already far higher than normally needed to justify severe restrictive measures.“ Vaccinations are considered to be the most effective and safe method preventing infectious diseases. Although hexavalent vaccines like Hexavac((R)) and Infanrix Hexa((R)) are assumed to be well tolerated and safe regarding the rate of immunity [Liese JG, Stojanov S, Berut F, Minini P, Harzer E, Jow S, et al. Large scale safety study of a liquid hexavalent vaccine (D-T-acP-IPV-PRP-T-HBs) administered at 2, 4, 6 and 12-14 months of age. Vaccine 2002;20:448-54; Mallet E, Fabre P, Pines E, Salomon H, Staub T, Schodel F, et al. Immunogenicity and safety of a new liquid hexavalent combines vaccine compared with separate administration of reference licensed vaccines in infants. Pediatr Infect Dis J 2000;19:1119-27], it was noticed that several cases of death occurred shortly after the vaccination. We report six cases of sudden infant death that occurred within 48h after hexavalent vaccination. At post-mortal examination, those cases showed unusual findings, especially in the brain and in laboratory tests. Crude calculations of local epidemiology are compatible with an association between hexavalent vaccination and unusual cases of sudden infant death. If confirmed in systematic studies, our findings would have potentially serious clinical implications. Neonatal Deaths After Hepatitis B Vaccine – The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, 1991-1998 – Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med. 1999;153:1279-1282 Results: Of 1771 neonatal reports, there were 18 deaths in 8 boys and 9 girls (1 patient unclassified). The mean age at vaccination for these 18 cases was 12 days(range, 1-27 days); median time from vaccination to onset of symptoms was 2 days (range, 0-20 days); and median time from symptoms to death was 0 days (range, 0-15 days). The mean birth weight of the neonates (n = 15) was 3034 g (range, 1828-4678 g). The causes of death for the 17 autopsied cases were sudden infant death syndrome for 12, infection for 3, and 1 case each of intracerebral hemorrhage, accidental suffocation, and congenital heart disease. Conclusion: Few neonatal deaths following HepB vaccination have been reported, despite the use of at least 86 million doses of pediatric vaccine given in the United States since 1991. While the limitations of passive surveillance systems do not permit definitive inference, these data suggest that HepB immunization is not causing a clear increase in neonatal deaths. Miguel A.

Background: A potential link between the recombinant hepatitisB vaccine and an increased risk of multiple sclerosis (MS) hasbeen evaluated in several studies, but some of them have substantialmethodologic limitations. Methods: The authors conducted a nested case-control study withinthe General Practice Research Database (GPRD) in the UnitedKingdom. The authors identified patients who had a first MSdiagnosis recorded in the GPRD between January 1993 and December2000. Cases were patients with a diagnosis of MS confirmed throughexamination of medical records, and with at least 3 years ofcontinuous recording in the GPRD before their date of firstsymptoms (index date). Up to 10 controls per case were randomlyselected, matched on age, sex, practice, and date of joiningthe practice. Information on receipt of immunizations was obtainedfrom the computer records. Results: The analyses include 163 cases of MS and 1,604 controls.The OR of MS for vaccination within 3 years before the indexdate compared to no vaccination was 3.1 (95% CI 1.5, 6.3). Noincreased risk of MS was associated with tetanus and influenzavaccinations. Conclusions: These findings are consistent with the hypothesisthat immunization with the recombinant hepatitis B vaccine isassociated with an increased risk of MS, and challenge the ideathat the relation between hepatitis B vaccination and risk ofMS is well understood.
