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.

Indestructible dog squeaker toy - AWESOME choice for my dog, an aggressive-chewer
Pattern Name: Duck
Not only was this squeaker toy duck cute, it is durable and very well made. My dog needs something to chew that “squeaks” and this was the ideal find for him! Shipped quickly arriving early, thank you! I will continue to buy other “squeaker toys” for aggressive-chewers from this seller.

Easily destructible - poor quality
Pattern Name: Duck, Pattern Name: Duck
Not worth it. My 4 month old puppy destroyed this in 15 minutes. The leg ropes came right out and she ripped open. Was smaller than I expected since it was described as suitable for large dogs, aggressive chewers and indestructible, lol.

NOT Indestructible. Had to throw away after 3 days.
Pattern Name: Duck
This toy is not good for aggressive chewers. We have a beagle that was able to chew at a seam and had the stuffing coming out after less than a few days. I had to throw it away. The only good thing about it is the squeaker sounds like a duck. It quacks. My dog loved the sound and would go nuts when he heard it. Sadly it didn't last long.
