Critical Praise

"Well-researched...This is an issue that will not go away."

——Financial Times

"Evidence of Harm is a gripping investigation. Much like the 9/11 commission's report, it is an alarming page-turner."

——Newsday

"Read this book! Could thimerosal, a mercury-containing preservative used in pediatric vaccines, be the cause of the world-wide epidemic of autism? David Kirby's superb, even-handed account of the investigation into this ongoing, high-stakes controversy is fascinating and compelling. The poignant personal accounts of the families of autistic children are heart-wrenching. A thoroughly researched, well written, and important book."

——Bernard Rimland, director of the Autism Research Institute and founder of the Autism Society of America

"Kirby does an admirable job of clarifying most of the scientific background. He makes the unassailable point that American health agencies lagged in calculating the amount of mercury being injected into babies."

——The New York Times

"Engrossing...This is the book for concerned parents to read. It's accessible in its handling of medical topics and compelling in its recounting of the parents' fight."

——Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"I am begging everyone in America to read this book."

——Don Imus
