WASHINGTON –Families, claiming that a mercury-based chemical in vaccines can be the cause of autism, are going to challenge that usual medicine as they have taken their case in a federal court.

These families want restitution and financial compensation from the government fund that has been established to help people who are injured by vaccines or other injections.

As for a test, cases of two 10 year old boys from Portland ,Ore will be served to find whether these children and their families must be redressed or not. The boys’ lawyer will try to prove that the boys were leading a healthy and happy life and growing normally before being exposed to vaccines with thimerosal. After the use of that vaccine they began to show the symptoms of autism.
