Further to ‘US accepts vaccine mercury link’ in Green Health Watch 34 ...

Although the US Division of Vaccine Injury Compensation (DVIC) finally accepted that a vaccination had caused Hannah Poling’s autism, it was careful to also implicate a genetic mitochondrial dysfunction from which Hannah suffered. This ‘got them off the hook’ a little. Moreover, when they checked the mitochondrial status of the next child whose family was applying for compensation, there the dysfunction was again. This did not, of course, weaken the family’s claim for compensation but, for a moment, appeared to further reduce any blame sticking to the US Department of Health in a ‘how could we have possibly known?’ sort of way.

Further testing has revealed the genetic weakness in at least 20% of the children whose families are claiming compensation. Some believe it will eventually identify it in 65% of cases.

Ed.- It does not, of course, really get them off the hook. The US Department of Health unleashed the MMR jab onto American children without sufficient research into its safety. More extensive safety checking might well have identified groups of especially vulnerable children, like Hannah, who should never be given a vaccination of any kind, let alone a triple jab..

So that’s one more test upon which every parent of a child offered MMR should insist before agreeing to an MMR jab for their child - Is my child’s mitochondrial status good? Apparently there are easy-to-identify markers of the condition in the blood.
