Way to go all Phil Donahue.

“Hannah has diagnoses of DSM-IV Autism…”

What are her CARS scores lately? Because wasn’t she preschool age when they dropped out of the autistic range?

***

“The only ‘degeneration’ that occurred (along with 6mos of total growth failure) after 18mos of NORMAL development followed vaccination and nothing else!”

Except several straight months of ear infections! Which couldn’t POSSIBLY have been the precipitating factor in her mitochondrial crisis…maybe because there’s no OMICP (Otitis Media Injury Compensation Program)?

***

“Most mitochondrial experts will tell you that the dots of autism and mitochondrial disorders are strongly connected.”

Except that the many eminent mitochondrial experts who gathered recently in Indianapolis didn’t seem to think so at all.

***

“The case was not settled, it was conceded”

You’re trying to make it sound like the government threw up its hands and admitted everything you claimed was correct. Neither word (“settled” or “conceded”) is in the document. The facts met the statutory requirements. That’s it.

***

“physicians cannot or do not want to comprehend”

Except for you, O Insightful and Brave Physician. You alone are strong and wise enough to see the truth.

“population epidemiology studies are not ‘granular’ enough to rule-out a susceptible subgroup”

Antivaxers have been hanging on to this life-ring for years now…and yet no “susceptible subgroup” has ever been shown to exist. Is this because there’s an insidious conspiracy suppressing the evidence? Or because this subgroup just.doesn’t.exist?

“Definition: Autism is a heterogeneous systemic disorder…”

Making up definitions now, are you?

As the anti-vaxers always say, “follow the money.” The money trail leads to Clifford Shoemaker. It would seem that he has made more money off of autism litigation than anyone else. Kathleen Seidel at Neurodiversity.com has documented part of that money trail quite conclusively. He is the business associate of the Geiers. He was the attorney for Poling. It was the confidential report by the government experts that was leaked to Kirby (in breach of the Court’s rules).

Clifford Shoemaker is the one who stands to make the most money off of this controversy. As long as the litigation continues, he continues to draw legal fees. He doesn’t want closure or an answer. He just wants to litigate it for as long as he can make money off it.

Crap.
