"In a hearing last month, Jacobson’s attorney argued that his client’s reputation was hurt"

Now, is it possible to prove this claim? I don't believe so. I know the comparison is not the best one, but we have cases where a perfectly healthy child is given a vaccine shoot and goes into full comma, and yet parents lose in court because judge decides that there is no proof that this vaccine was a cause and parents cannot prove it did because they do not owe a Time Machine to go back in time, deny vaccinating and monitor their child being perfectly fine months later.
