CNN - Concerns about health care, food and

vaccine safety added to the anxieties Americans felt this year. [...]

[item 2]

Autism Debate over the causes of autism

continued to rage after a court decided to compensate a family whose

daughter developed the disorder after receiving childhood vaccinations.

For years, some parents have contended that

childhood vaccinations cause autism.

But studies published in the New England

Journal of Medicine and elsewhere have found no link between autism and

vaccines. Additionally, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the

American Academy of Pediatrics, the Institute of Medicine and other medical

organizations have repeatedly asserted that vaccines are safe.

But the Department of Health and Human

Services' Division of Vaccine Injury Compensation concluded that Hannah

Poling, a child who had been predisposed to autism, had a condition that

was " significantly aggravated " by vaccinations and that her

family should be compensated.

Hannah began having problems after receiving

nine childhood vaccines in 2000, said her father, Dr. Jon Poling, a

neurologist in Athens, Georgia.

While the Polings said they don't oppose

childhood vaccinations, they want thimerosal, a mercury vaccine

preservative, removed.

Thimerosal was removed from infant vaccines
