Bad Medicine?
Friday, August 26, 2005
David Kirby investigates the side effects of thimerosal--a preservative used in vaccines that contains mercury. Noting that the use of this preservative coincided with an upsurge of reported cases of autism amongst American children in the 1990s, he looks into whether these vaccines directly hurt children, and who should be held accountable if they did, in Evidence of Harm.
Music: Soundtrack to “The Secret Agent,” music by Philip Glass: “The First Meridian” / “Simple”
