Hazlehurst alleged that families of thousands of vaccine-injured children have been denied the right to compensation and the right to have their cases heard due to the repeated fraud of the judicial system by U.S. Department of Justice lawyers representing the HHS in vaccine injury cases Source.
By Brenda Baletti Ph.D. Rolf Hazlehurst, a Children's Health Defense staff attorney and father of a son diagnosed with autism, today filed a motion in federal court alleging lawyers representing the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services fraudulently concealed and misrepresented evidence that vaccines can cause autism.
Rolf Hazlehurst, a Children's Health Defense staff attorney and father of a son with autism, today filed a motion in federal court alleging lawyers representing the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services fraudulently concealed evidence that vaccines can cause autism.
In a motion filed in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, Hazlehurst alleged that U.S. Department of Justice lawyers who represented HHS in vaccine injury cases repeatedly defrauded the judicial system - from the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program to the U.S. Supreme Court.
"The evidence submitted in support of the motion clearly shows that attorneys from the Department of Justice concealed and misrepresented highly relevant information from the special masters in the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program and the judges in the courts," Mack Rosenberg told The Defender.
If a petitioner files a claim for a vaccine covered under the program and listed on the Vaccine Injury Table - the list of known vaccine side effects associated with certain vaccines within set time frames - it is presumed that a vaccine caused the petitioner's injury and the petitioner is eligible for compensation without proof of causation.
In 2007, just three weeks after the lead DOJ attorney misrepresented Zimmerman's opinion during the hearing in Hazlehurst, the same DOJ attorney submitted a report to the special masters conceding that in the case of Poling v. HHS, Hannah's "Regressive encephalopathy with features of autism spectrum disorder" was caused by a vaccine injury, based upon a preponderance of the evidence standard.
