My
beautiful boy's life has been blighted
Daily Express Oct 31, 2003
WORRIED
mother Ann Hewitt is convinced the MMR jab is to blame for her son Thomas' autism
and bowel problems.
Thomas,
10, has the measles I virus in his blood and his gut. "How
could it have got there if it wasn't from the MMR?" she asked. "There
wasn't measles around at the time."
Mrs
Hewitt, pictured left with Thomas, said that after he had his jab at 13 months
he started to behave strangely. He also began banging his head, crying out and
even biting his arms after food.
Thomas
has now been diagnosed with autism and severe epilepsy. He also has severe bowel
problems which cause him much pain.
Mrs
Hewitt, 55, of north
"Thomas
is charming endearing but his life is totally blighted and I think he should be
given justice "His life has been ruined and nobody seems to care."
