1 in every 166 children in the United States has autism.

What’s causing this epidemic?

Is it possible that the FDA has made yet another grave oversight?

Did mercury in vaccines cause an epidemic of autism, ADD, ADHD, speech delay
and other childhood disorders? Evidence of Harm: Mercury in Vaccines and the
Autism Epidemic: A Medical Controversy (St. Martin’s Press, April 2005,
$26.95 Hardcover, ISBN: 0-312-32544-0), by New York Times contributor David
Kirby, is a disturbing, important book that examines both sides of this
brewing controversy—the personal stories of the affected families and the
unfolding political drama in the courts and halls of Congress.

Evidence of Harm is essentially the story of parents with autistic children
who, upon learning that their kids received levels of mercury in their
vaccines that far exceeded Federal safety limits, set out to take on Big
Business, Big Science and Big Government with a radical new theory on the
cause. These parents have uncovered compelling evidence that vaccine
mercury, in the form of the preservative Thimerosal, could very well have
played a role in the disease, and their medical, scientific, legal, and
political allies are getting closer to establishing their claim.

David Kirby has been a contributor to The New York Times for seven years,
where he covers science and health, among other subjects, and has been a
writer for over fifteen years.
