66. I said that encephalopathy preceeded the autism. It was involved in the "causation" in Poling.
Would you like to name a case where vaccination unequivocally caused a non-autistic child to become autistic? I'm not sure that your definition of unequivocal would mirror mine? Hannah Poling and Bailey Banks are two examples of cases where the court acknowledged vaccines were connected to injury that ultimately presented with symptoms of autism.

I acknowledge a few things you apparently don't.

1. Autism is a diagnosis with symptoms presenting in some from birth, others after an injury.
2. Human beings are like.
3. Vaccines are like.
4. The DNA issues like Poling has, are present in about 7% of the general public, and 37% autistic children.
5. Many parents have reported autism like regression (in previously normal/typical children) after a child was vaccinated - including fever, symptoms of encephalopathy etc.
6. Given I acknowledge 1-5, I draw the conclusion that Hannah Poling and Bailey Banks are not alone.

I will say that I don't believe the majority of cases of autism, PDD etc. are caused by vaccination. I think there are many avenues, most involving genetic pre-disposition and an environmental trigger. I will also say that I believe various illness, could also be a mechanism in the very children who are vulnerable to vaccination. It is my hope that we'll first acknowledge that there are children who are vulnerable to vaccination, and that we'll attempt to identify these children so that we can have the best of both worlds, so to speak.
