Wait, I'm confused. Didn't the government concede that some kids (Hannah Polling specifically, and in general those with mitochondrial disorders) can have such adverse reactions to vaccines as to induce or contribute to Autism.
Isn't there a government "vaccination injury compensation" program? Didn't the Polling family get compensated from this program for her autism?
I'm getting conflicting messages here. One court rules one way, another court rules another. Both sides point to the ruling that they previously believed in. That doesn't sound very scientific to me.
The AAP says that it is "unproven" that there is a link between autism and vaccines. That is very different than saying that it is proven that there is not link.
Also, haven't children died from vaccines?
Yes, there are plenty of merits to vaccinations. But please, don't claim that they're safe or that we know all of the consequences of them. If you want to claim acceptable loses. That is fine too; at least that's honest. Since we have proven (err. I mean the courts have ruled) that vaccines can be too much for kids with mitochondrial disorders, wouldn't it be better if we tested for mitochondrial disorders before administering vaccines?

Is it a rapid increase in the actual condition in industrialized nations, or a rapid increase in the ability to identify the condition?
Most experts agree that it is not an increase in ability to diagnose: http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/news/article/19273
