SEVERE ADVERSE REACTION TO VACCINATION COMPENSATION SCHEME' for Australians

The issue

When a person is seriously affected  by a vaccine in Australia and is left with severe long term injuries, their only way to receive compensation is through the courts.  My son in law Ben had the Adacel Vaccination when their baby boy was born 2 months early.  He objected but was told he wouldnt be able to see his baby in the premmy ward if he didnt have the vaccination so of course he did.  12 Days later he was in RPH in ICU fighting for his life and left a quadraplegic !  He was diagnosed with a condition called ADEM (Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis). He is now a very sick man and unable to support his wife and 5 children.  A Compensation Scheme could help people like Ben when they need it most NOW, not 4, 5 or 10 years later when they have lost everything through no fault of their own. Internationally, 19 countries have a compensation scheme, but Australia doesn't!  WHY NOT? Please help Ben and other Australians now and for the future by signing this petition and help them when they need it most.  Bens Story can be found on Facebook SEVERE ADVERSE REACTION TO VACCINATION COMPENSATION or "Bens Story''.
