I am really sorry to hear that you've had such a terrible thing happen to you. I think the scientific community is moving in the right direction in recognizing the insidious nature but ultimate impact that these injuries can have. But by skepticism helps us protect the already-scarce resources we have to study what treatments actually work. Let's not repeat the mistakes of the autism community that spent millions and decades on trying to blame vaccines. The science will eventually come out, but we can literally spend as much money as we want to to reach the same conclusions.

You deserve to have hope, but for me personally, hope comes from the fact that science works. This article is not real progress (even though the child had a good outcome, and that's awesome), but there are a dozen places where real progress is occurring, even if it's less visible.
