Our son, Alexander Horwin, was a wonderful, intelligent and handsome child who loved life. He wanted to be with his mommy and daddy, go to school, grow up, and experience the wonders of being alive. He had many dreams and plans. His parents wanted to show him the world. After fighting heroically to survive, Alexander Horwin died on January 31, 1999, of brain cancer. He was "almost three," as he liked to say.

"On January 31, 2000, my wife and I filed a lawsuit against American Home Products, the parent company of Lederle, for the wrongful death of Alexander Horwin.[40] It was the first lawsuit to allege that an SV40-contaminated polio vaccine had been responsible for a death. A three-week Daubert hearing was held in the United States District Court for the Central District of California from February 11 to February 28, 2003. At this hearing, one of our causation experts, a leading SV40 scientist, testified that he had reviewed thousands of pages of internal Lederle documents that demonstrated it was likely that the SV40, which caused Alexander’s cancer, came from the oral polio vaccine that he was administered."

I cannot understand how the courts could have ruled against this family in the death of this boy. This was not justice--this was a conspiracy to commit mass murder in the name of profit.
Just how many children in the USA die of this kind of brain cancer? One is too many!
