WASHINGTON (Reuters Health) - Attorneys for the Bush Administration asked a federal court on Monday to order that documents on hundreds of cases of autism allegedly caused by childhood vaccines be kept from the public.

 

Department of Justice lawyers asked a special master in the US Court of Federal Claims to seal the documents, arguing that allowing their automatic disclosure would take away the right of federal agencies to decide when and how the material should be released.

the fact that is was done at all by our gov is alarming at best...and it really wasn't that long ago...

10 years. And according to the article, my understanding is that these medical records are typically sealed (as medical records are personal, anyway); the only difference here is that this was somewhat of a grouped effort.
