A Lawyer's take:

THE POLINGS DID PRESENT " EVIDENCE "

The Polings presented evidence of a link by way of affidavits (written

testimony) and medical documents. They just didn't repeat that testimony live,

during a court hearing. There is no legal distinction. Both documentary

evidence and spoken evidence are evidence. As an attorney who has tried cases

in court, I can tell you there is NO legal difference. This whole line of

argument by the vaccine apologists is complete B.S. The don't know law.

CONCEDING POLING'S CASE PREVENTED A PRECEDENT

The Poling's case WAS set to be a test case for the other 5000 pending cases.

Since the government settled it, the Poling's case is no longer a test case for

the other 5000. The reason why the government decided to concede the Polings

case before it went to hearing is obvious: the government knew it would lose,

and did not want the Poling's case to establish an autism-vaccine link that

would be legally binding in some of the other 5000 cases. The vaccine

apologists are angry because the Poling's case HAS become binding precedent in

another court, the court of public opinion -- which is out of their control.
