I remember telling my spouse, "I am not a conspiracy theorist, but there is something really off about this last minute attachment to this bill." I haven't read Mr. Kirby's book, but it sounds like we may have wondered the same thing? I'll have to check it out. When I told relatives that I thought Trent Lott's removal and replacement with Bill Frist was fishy, they looked at me like, "uh huh, yeah ok." I saw it like this:<BR/>1. A Congressman complains on air about the last minute addition to the bill. He states that his grandson was affected by shots so he wanted the issue to be re-visited. It sounded like Trent Lott had agreed to do so.<BR/>2. Trent Lott makes yet another inappropriate comment - he's been making them for years - but it's at a function that was highly unlikely to get any national press attention<BR/>3. Bush states publicly something like, "Lott doesn't speak for the Republican Party," which draws negative attention to Lott, and then he waits as Lott is forced to step down from leadership due to political pressure.<BR/>4. Frist is replaced, and it's made known he has no intention of revisiting the last minute attachment.<BR/><BR/>So anyway, that was my observation. It'll be interesting to see if that's also what Kirby writes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771487.post-1121575412940202272005-07-17T00:43:00.000-04:002005-07-17T00:43:00.000-04:00Not yet.

Apparently all the private suits are on hold waiting for the causal link between thimerosal and autism. <BR/><BR/>I don't think that is to far off.<BR/><BR/>Mr. Frist has said that he will again trying to get legislation passed that will preclude people suing pharma over thimerosal. <BR/><BR/>I will be VERY surprised if he can pull that off given that it has not worked the last 5 times he tried it and the conventional wisdom over autism and thimerosal is not moving in his direction. It is only going to get harder after the senate hearings on thimerosal that are being put together currently.Ginger Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200286625735078479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771487.post-1121558629381693802005-07-16T20:03:00.000-04:002005-07-16T20:03:00.000-04:00No one can sue the government or big pharma over m...No one can sue the government or big pharma over mercury containing vaccines.
