Subject: Former Director of NIH Speaks Out on Vaccine/Autism Link


CBS News Video Link

In an exclusive interview, former NIH Director Dr. Bernadine Healy tells CBS
News' Sharyl Attkisson that the question of a link between vaccines and
autism is still open for debate.
CBS News correspondent Sharyl Attkisson wrote this story for cbsnews.com.

Today, a second round of autism test cases begins in federal vaccine court.
Tonight on the CBS Evening News, we'll have exclusive interviews with the
two families who are bringing the cases: two of nearly 5,000 autism cases
that have been filed in this special court. The government and many
scientists have consistently maintained for more than a decade that there is
no link between vaccines and autism. The Institute of Medicine issued a
report in 2004 that was intended to put the controversy to rest, saying that
the weight of the body of scientific evidence does not show a causal link
between vaccines and autism. However, other scientists and parents disagree.

For our report, we interviewed Dr. Bernadine Healy, the former head of the
National Institutes of Health and a member of the Institute of Medicine who
breaks with her colleagues in this exclusive CBS News interview: Dr. Healy
says the government has been too quick to dismiss the possibility of a
vaccine-autism link, and that it should be explored with renewed vigor.
