(FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - Congress will hold hearings Thursday about a possible link between childhood vaccination and autism -- a subject that many thought had been put to rest earlier this year when the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a study suggesting that research does not point to an association between the two.
But according to a study by Elizabeth Birt Center for Autism Law and Advocacy (EBCALA), at least 83 families received federal compensation for money for vaccine-related injuries. And each of the children in those 83 cases suffered from autism.
The CDC released a statement supporting their initial stance that no link between vaccines and autism exists.
Now, a group of parents -- whose children are all living with autism -- is coming forward with their research that again points to vaccine as the cause.
Heather McLennand and her son, Liam, and Richard Deth, Ph.D., a professor of pharmacology at Northeastern University, stopped by the FOX 25 Morning News to talk more about the vaccine-autism link.
