Amerikanske helsemyndigheter har inngått forlik i en sak om kompensasjon etter angivelige vaksineskader. Barnet som fikk erstatningen har omfattende autismelignende symptomer. Anti-vaksinasjonsbevegelsen jubler, og kaller det en seier, påstår at amerikanske myndigheter har innrømmet at vaksiner forårsaker autisme og mye annet.
Orac viser at det er å omskrive virkeligheten såvidt mange smuler at man slipper å handle brød til frokost dagen etter. For hva handler saken egentlig om?
In sum, DVIC has concluded that the facts of this case meet the statutory criteria for demonstrating that the vaccinations CHILD received on July 19, 2000, significantly aggravated an underlying mitochondrial disorder, which predisposed her to deficits in cellular energy metabolism, and manifested as a regressive encephalopathy with features of autism spectrum disorder. Therefore, respondent recommends that compensation be awarded to petitioners in accordance with 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-11(c)(1)(C)(ii).
Som Orac gjør oppmerksom på, er det å påkalle denne saken som «seier» mildest talt å flytte målsnøret:
Let’s remember what the full title of Kirby’s book was: Evidence of Harm: Mercury in Vaccines and the Autism Epidemic, a Medical Controversy, not Evidence of Harm: Vaccines Aggravating a Rare Preexisting Genetic Mitochondrial Disorder and Causing a Condition That Mimicks Autism. As for the rest of the mercury militia, J.B. Handley’s Generation Rescue used to say with utter confidence that «childhood neurological disorders such as autism, Asperger’s, ADHD/ADD, speech delay, sensory integration disorder, and many other developmental delays are all misdiagnoses for mercury poisoning.» It then shifted the goalposts to say, «We believe these neurological disorders («NDs») are environmental illnesses caused by an overload of heavy metals, live viruses, and bacteria.» Now he’s crowing in the comments of Age of Autism that this ruling is the «single largest bombshell in the history of the vaccine-autism fight.»
Let’s see. The court ruled that a child with a rare mitochondrial disorder may have been injured by vaccines with, among other consequences, and encephalopathy that resembles ASD, a case that’s likely to apply to a very small number of children, and J.B. Handley is gloating about how it is such a huge bombshell?
Det er en lang og god artikkel, så les hele.
