The first court award in a vaccine-autism claim is a big one. CBS News has learned the family of Hannah Poling will receive more than $1.5 million dollars for her life care; lost earnings; and pain and suffering for the first year alone.

In addition to the first year, the family will receive more than $500,000 per year to pay for Hannah's care. Those familiar with the case believe the compensation could easily amount to $20 million over the child's lifetime

I think this is good news for my own personal reason.. But its good..

1. The child either isn't autistic
OR
2. The child was already autistic and the vaccines are being blamed when they shouldn't be.

While I don't believe most cases of autism are due to vaccinations, I do believe there is a such thing as vaccine injury and a small number of people are prone to it.

But concerning this case...even my vet would refuse to give my cat that many vaccinations at once.

I'm kind of tired being lumped in with kids who are labeled autistic just because of the above. Do people that diagnose these children actually look at how their mind works or do they just see a kid screaming and not responding to them and label them as autistic? Feral children often exhibit autistic behaviour. It doesn't mean they are autistic. I'm thinking these children, if the vaccines did do anything to them, are not autistic and if they are the vaccines were a coincidence.

The girl had a mitochondrial defect, she developed negative symptoms following a vaccination, the symptoms qualify as a table injury under the vaccine court laws (certain conditions, when they occur within a certain time period following a vaccine are presumed to be related and don't need additional evidence linking them). The court did not say that the vaccines caused the girl to develop autism, rather stating that her symptoms resemble autism. It's a case where the vaccine court works as it was designed to do, to compensate people for probable vaccine injuries. This isn't an award for vaccines causing autism.

In fact, there's yet another study that came out recently that goes against the vaccine-autism link.

Would there be money in it for us aspergers too?

No, because vaccines don't cause autism.

Vaccines don't cause autism. Maybe that needs to be reiterated lots so that will be retained by people.
