Description

Evidence of Harm: Mercury in Vaccines and the Autism Epidemic: A Medical ControversyIn the 1990s reported autism cases among American children began spiking, from about 1 in 10,000 in 1987 to a shocking 1 in 166 today. This trend coincided with the addition of several new shots to the nation's already crowded vaccination schedule, grouped together and given soon after birth or in the early months of infancy. Most of these shots contained a little known preservative called thimerosal, which includes a quantity of the toxin mercury.

In the 1990s reported autism cases among American children began spiking, from about 1 in 10,000 in 1987 to a shocking 1 in 166 today. This trend coincided with the addition of several new shots to the nation's already crowded vaccination schedule, grouped together and given soon after birth or in the early months of infancy. Most of these shots contained a little-known preservative called thimerosal, which includes a quantity of the toxin mercury.

Evidence of Harm explores the heated controversy over what many parents, physicians, public officials, and educators have called an "epidemic" of afflicted children. Following several families, David Kirby traces their struggle to understand how and why their once-healthy kids rapidly descended into silence or disturbed behavior, often accompanied by severe physical illness. Alarmed by the levels of mercury in the vaccine schedule, these families sought answers from their doctors, from science, from pharmaceutical companies that manufacture vaccines, and finally from the Center for Disease Control and the Food and Drug Administration-to no avail. But as they dug deeper, the families also found powerful allies in Congress and in the small community of physicians and researchers who believe that the rise of autism and other disorders is linked to toxic levels of mercury that accumulate in the systems of some children.

An important and troubling book, Evidence of Harm reveals both the public and unsung obstacles faced by desperate families who have been opposed by the combined power of the federal government, health agencies, and pharmaceutical giants. From closed meetings of the FDA, CDC, and drug companies, to the mysterious rider inserted into the 2002 Homeland Security Bill that would bar thimerosal litigation, to open hearings held by Congress, this book shows a medical establishment determined to deny "evidence of harm" that might be connected with thimerosal and mercury in vaccines. In the end, as research is beginning to demonstrate, the questions raised by these families have significant implications for all children, and for those entrusted to oversee our national health.

Love it! 😍
Size: One Size, Color: Brown/Acorn
This purse is perfect for summer or really any time of the year! If you’re looking for a light and beautiful purse, this is the one! I’m not put off by the nylon material at all. I’m a teacher and I have to carry a big work bag in addition to a purse so this is absolutely perfect. There’s enough room to fit my cosmetic bag, iPhone, and a few other things which is all I really need. Or if you just want a purse for a trip this is the perfect thing too.

Nice Purse
Size: One Size, Color: Gold-tone Hardware/Black, Size: One Size, Color: Gold-tone Hardware/Black
I loved this purse so much that I purchased a second one when the first one was worn out. The second one actually is a little longer by about an inch. My only complaint is the second one does not have a zippered pocket inside. But it’s a beautiful purse and great for traveling.

Nice but smaller than expected.
Size: One Size, Color: Brown/Acorn
I would give this purse 5 stars if it wasn't for the small opening in the purse. Not much room inside. Smaller than expected but it's a nice purse overall and if you don't carry much in it.
