This particular theory of causation — Vaccine - to - ADEM - to - ASD — is different from the three cases that lost, and different than the theory in the Hannah Poling case (vaccine - induced aggravation of
an underlying mitochondrial dysfunction caused full - blown autism).
Despite the perilous odds stacked against them in vaccine court, the evidence of a vaccine / autism link is so strong that vaccine court judges and government agencies have now recognized at least two theories of how vaccines cause autism: the Vaccine - to - ADEM - to - ASD link in Bailey Banks» case, and vaccine - induced aggravation of
an underlying mitochondrial dysfunction that caused full - blown autism in the Hannah Poling case.
