Autism Settlement Precedent Blames Vaccines

One Size Does Not Fit ALL

More research should be done to find out how to make vaccines safer for all children. There is no need for some children to be casualties in order to protect the majority. We can do better than that in the 21st century.

Autism Settlement Precedent Blames Vaccines

In leaked documents from the settlement of an autism claim, federal health officials have concede for the first time that a 9-year-old Georgia girl was damaged by childhood vaccines.

The case of Hannah Poling was determined to be deserving of a settlement by the federal vaccine court.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services conceded the case in this November 9, 2007 document that journalist David Kirby posted on the Huffington Post.

He calls it a document every American should read.

It tells the story of Hannah, a precocious, high functioning and verbal toddler until, at 19 months, she received a five-shot series of childhood vaccines in July 2000 that "significantly aggravated an underlying mitochondrial disorder" which resulted in a brain disorder with features of autism.

Her mother reports that within 48-hours Hannah developed a high fever and constant crying. She refused to walk and stopped sleeping through the night. She then lost an ability to speak, stared at lights and began spinning, all symptoms of autism.

Dr. Polling, father of the injured child said he would do things differently if given a chance:

Dr. Poling says if he had it to do over again, "I would vaccinate my child, but I would spread the vaccines out," and might skip some of the shots such as chickenpox. The Polings say thimerosal should be removed from all vaccines.

More study, spread out some of the vaccines, and in some children's case - leave out the non essential vaccs. We know that as years go by, more and more vaccines are added to the list of "must haves" for children. How much is enough? How much is too much?

This is not ANTI VAX, its PRO SAFETY for our children, all of them, not just most of them.
Its about doing studies to improve vaccine study, its about fitting the vaccines to the child.
This could increase confidence in vaccines.

1. Could you please link to a source that confirms Hannah Poling...

was diagnosed with autism?

Not "a brain disorder with features of autism," but an actual medical diagnosis of autism.

Thanks much.

2. Even when ALL the evidence is against her

She never gives up.

4. Well, they're threatened with the latest news.

Can't really blame them. Proven wrong over and over and over, you gotta cling to the tiny slivers of misinformation you have left.
