About this title: In the 1990s, autism in American children began spiking, from 1-2 in 10,000 in 1987 to a shocking 1 in 166 today. In this period, two series of shots containing a mercury-based preservative called Thimerosal were added to the nation's already crowded vaccination schedule. Some parents noticed their healthy children suddenly descending into silent, disturbed, and physically ill autism soon after receiving vaccinations. They discovered that children were being exposed to mercury at very young ages - even before birth-at levels far exceeding federal regulations, yet their concerns were either ...

"The way this book is written reminds me of A Civil Action by Jonathan Harr. It is very readable non-fiction--especially if you are interested in the topic. Kirby does give a lot of details and that can bog the reader down a bit. I feel like he tried his best to be objective regarding this controversial subject matter.
The jury is still out for me regarding a connection between autism and thimerosal. I definitely think more studies and research needs to be done. And no matter what conclusions I reach after studying the topic a bit more, it IS a reality that powerful men in high places used their influence to make money and block information from being released to the public. Power and money can sure tempt people to do dirty deeds.
All in all, a well-written book that attempts to give both sides of the story."
"This is not an easy read and it was really hard to give it a rating in stars. It really makes an interesting accusation agaoins the vaccine manufacturers. Every parent should read this book before making a choice about vaccinating their children."
"Enraging, frustrating, emotional. BUT - informative. It's not an anti vaccine book, but instead describes the legal, political and ethical battles surrounding thimerisol in the vaccines."
"A very inspiring story of several parents battling the FDA, big pharaceutical companies, and others to get them to investigate the possible role of vaccinations in their childrens' autism. The proof is not beyond all reasonable doubt, but as the title says, there is a lot of evidence laid out in this book that the vaccinations for these particular kids was at least partly responsible for their conditions. This is more of a human interest story rather than a hard science book, but there is some information here, and many references are cited, if you wish to follow up on your own."
