Letter from Ray Gallup to Congressman Burton and read at the December 10, 2002 hearing:
I was set to go with Albert Enayati tomorrow for the Government reform hearings but couldn't make it. Our family is in living hell with our 17 year-old son, Eric who is 6 feet tall, 150 pounds. He attacked Helen, Julie, my daughter (14) and myself. He head butted Julie and bit my wife on the head. Eric bit one of my fingers. It isn't the first time and is getting worse. We have no help and I'm afraid for the safety of our family and my son.
He is a victim of Merck....with the MMR vaccine....having elevated measles antibody titers.
Eric was like he was 6'5 and 300 pounds on Sunday when he had his tantrum. I held him down but he tried to bite me and kick and scratch me. I was so exhausted I couldn't breathe and thought I would have a heart attack. When we closed the doors to lock ourselves in from Eric, Eric kicked on the door....breaking some of the wood.
I don't know what to do anymore short of calling the police....we are at our wits end.
This is our lot in life for trusting the medical profession that vaccines are safe. We are paying a bitter price for that trust. It is hard to have any holiday feelings when we see what has happened to our son.....and our family.
Again, I'm sorry I couldn't attend but we are under siege.
Ray Gallup
