How much has been spent?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Do you know anything about which you speak?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&quot; There is no (let me repeat NO) objective evidence to support autism and vaccines. NONE. ZERO. NADA. Clear? &quot;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;No kidding, that&#039;s why I didn&#039;t make the claim there was.  Reading is not your strong suit. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&quot;You should also study the effect of visiting the pediatrician&#039;s office on the development of autism. I am certain that there is a correlation here, too.&quot;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;It&#039;s the same correlation as there is between tort &quot;reform&quot; and reduced insurance rates and reduced healthcare costs.  You believe that wholeheartedly, so I&#039;m surprised you didn&#039;t swallow the autism-vaccine link as well.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&quot;Some cases go to litigation outside VCIP, but they don&#039;t have data on those awards.&quot;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;So in other words, you&#039;re pontificating without the facts?  I thought you said only lawyers did that.  Hypocrite.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How much money has been paid in an autism case?
