Answers and solutions. Vaccines are causing strokes...microvascualr strokes..across the board ...moroever, these infectious diseases caused the same before they were put in needles and injected in people...the medcial establishment did not recognize there was a "two-pronged" hit from these pathogens - the first is the bug itself; 2) the second, is the non-specific immune system response - it is the latter that still exists and has, iby design, been enhanced by adding adjuvants to vaccines - we have changed polaque like illnesses into subtle, sub-clinical epidemic in neurodevelopmental disoredrs and gulf war syndrome, and gardasil adverse reactions/deaths amongst othger health problems:

Many legal experts worry that despite a higher standard of proof in civil court, autism cases may fare better there. "Jurors eyes gloss over when you start talking epidemiology," says Stephen Sugarman, a law professor at the University of California, Berkeley, who wrote about vaccine litigation for the NEJM: "Experience tells us that jurors don't trust or necessarily understand science and they are likely to make a decision completely independent of it."
Although most researchers suspect a combination of genetic and environmental factors, no one can say for certain what causes autism spectrum disorders. But the impaired social and communication skills associated with this condition tend to manifest themselves between 1 and 3 years of age—the same time during which most childhood vaccines are administered. For many parents whose children developed the devastating neurological condition shortly after receiving their shots, the link seems clear—no evidence is more powerful than their personal experience. "There are a lot of people who strongly believe in this connection, and no amount of science is going to dissuade them," says Sugarman. "They are organized. They have congressmen and celebrities on their side. And they have a group of lawyers who have now made thimerosal litigation their specialty."
The politicization of the thimerosal issue has led researchers to take unprecedented measures. Unlike previous studies, the current study included more than a dozen outside consultants, including at least one advocate for families of children with autism. "We have really tried to make the entire process—from experiment design to manuscript review—as transparent as possible," says Thompson. But that effort may not have made a difference in the long run. Sally Bernard, executive director of Safe Minds, a nonprofit parents' organization that focuses on the role of mercury in neurodevelopment disorders, consulted on the study but still takes issue with its findings. "All the studies, including this one have certain limitations in their design and their methodology," she says.
In a new study, Thompson and his colleagues are taking another look at thimerosal exposure and autism. But for many, the question has been resolved. "This study is the third one of its kind. When the autism one comes out, it will be the sixth of its kind. They've all shown the same thing—that there is no significant correlation," says Offit. "Meanwhile, the thimerosal question has diverted attention and resources away from the search for more promising leads on what causes autism. How many more studies will it take?"
