US Government admits some Autism caused by Vaccines

The following is a list of cases where the US Government determined that Vaccination HAD caused Autism

So any claim that there is no link between vaccination and autism is provably FALSE

On separate occasions the Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration told journalists Sharyl Atkisson and David Kirby :

“The government has never compensated, nor has it ever been ordered to compensate, any case based on a determination that autism was actually caused by vaccines. We have compensated cases in which children exhibited an encephalopathy, or general brain disease. Encephalopathy may be accompanied by a medical progression of an array of symptoms including autistic behavior, autism, or seizures.”

I claim that the two medical conditions “encephalopathy” and “autism” are  a distinction without a difference.
