What part of "rare mitochondrial disorder" makes you think this is a justification for vaccine hesitancy?@Rob Battisti
JULIE GERBERDING, DR., CDC DIRECTOR: "Well, you know, I don't have all the facts because I still haven't been able to review the case files myself [Hannah Pohling case- Google it]. But my understanding is that the child has a -- what we think is a rare mitochondrial disorder. And children that have this disease, anything that stresses them creates a situation where their cells just can't make enough energy to keep their brains functioning normally. Now, we all know that vaccines can occasionally cause fevers in kids. So if a child was immunized, got a fever, had other complications from the vaccines. And if you're predisposed with the mitochondrial disorder, it can certainly set off some damage. Some of the symptoms can be symptoms that have characteristics of autism."
Wait! Did Julie Gerberding Just Admit that Vaccines Trigger Autism!?

Apologies for the shit source, I can’t seem to track down the actual interview on YouTube. It was with Sanjay Gupta on CNN.
