Guest guest Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 The Huffington Post Kirby Government Concedes Vaccine-Autism Case in Federal Court - Now What? Posted February 25, 2008 | 12:42 PM (EST) http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-kirby/government-concedes- vacci_b_88323.html Highlights... " In its written concession, the government said the child had a pre- existing mitochondrial disorder that was " aggravated " by her shots, and which ultimately resulted in an ASD diagnosis. " " Mitochondrial disorders are now thought to be the most common disease associated with ASD. Some journal articles and other analyses have estimated that 10% to 20% of all autism cases may involve mitochondrial disorders, which would make them one thousand times more common among people with ASD than the general population. Another article, published in the Journal of Child Neurology and co- authored by Dr. Zimmerman, showed that 38% of Kennedy Krieger Institute autism patients studied had one marker for impaired oxidative phosphorylation, and 47% had a second marker. The authors -- who reported on a case-study of the same autism claim conceded in Vaccine Court -- noted that " children who have (mitochondrial-related) dysfunctional cellular energy metabolism might be more prone to undergo autistic regression between 18 and 30 months of age if they also have infections or immunizations at the same time.
