WASHINGTON - Families claiming that a mercury-based preservative in vaccines triggers autism will challenge mainstream medicine today as they take their case to a federal court.
They seek vindication and financial redress from a government fund that helps people injured by shots.
Two 10-year-old boys from Portland, Ore., will serve as test cases that determine whether the children and their families in similar situations should be compensated. Attorneys for the boys will try to show the boys were healthy and developing normally. But, after being exposed to vaccines with thimerosal, they began to regress and show symptoms of autism.
