Childhood autism-vaccine connection goes to court

Do childhood vaccines really contribute to autism in kids? That subject has been under debate for quite some time, and even though science says vaccines are not the cause of autism, that is not preventing a court case from happening on that very charge.

More than 4,800 claims have been filed against the federal government during the past six years regarding the suspicion that vaccines can lead to autism, due to vaccines containing the preservative thimerosal. Although it is no longer used in many childhood vaccines, it is still used in flu vaccines.

Parents of autistic children are very concerned about having been marginalized by biased governmental findings and are determined to do something about it. Some parents even look to the "before and after" state of their kids regarding vaccinations and use that instead of possible corrupted governmental data.
