are at much higher risk for showing signs or symptoms of what looks like a neurodevelopmental disorder. It's different diagnosing or whatever a neurodevelopmental condition in a mouse. Is it 100%? No, it's just we increase the risk. So if you inject a pregnant mouse with lipopolysaccharide, Can that mouse still have a normal appearing mouse? Yes.

But the probability that the offspring will have a neurodevelopmental, symptoms of a neurodevelopmental condition increase. That is where so much of the autism research has been focused. It's trying to understand this, trying to understand what is happening with inflammation. How does that impact neurodevelopment? We know that. So now back to the question that you posed.

Is there any possibility that vaccines could contribute to that process? Do vaccines increase inflammation? I think the answer to that is yes. Is there variation in the inflammatory response between different people? I think the answer to that is yes. Can some people have a hyper-exaggerated inflammatory response in response to a vaccine? I think the answer to that is yes.

In that condition, so in that rare condition, less common condition where somebody is having a hyper exaggerated inflammatory response to a vaccination, could that impact neurodevelopment? The science right now says yes. We have no reason to think it wouldn't. There's one case of a young child who already had an existing mitochondrial disorder. It was already known. She got vaccines.

And I think within days or weeks of getting the vaccinations, she developed profound neurodevelopmental symptoms. That case won a lawsuit. It went to court. It was tried in court. And she won. And the court ruled that the vaccine did, in fact, contribute to this girl's neurodevelopmental condition. Now, they assumed it was because she had a preexisting mitochondrial disorder.

And I would support that. It lines up perfectly with what I've been talking about all along, that people who have vulnerabilities with mitochondria or metabolism. You can only absorb so many hits. And when you get that final hit that tips kind of the balance to impact neurodevelopment, you can get that. Now, coming back to the bigger question, so should people get vaccinated or not?

We do have reasonably good evidence that that unvaccinated people are more likely to develop autism than vaccinated people.

The problem with that study is that it's a retrospective cohort epidemiological study. And the biggest critique that I have of that type of research is that the researchers decide what they control for and what they don't control for.
