" Protecting the health and informed consent rights of children since 1982. "

BL Fisher Note:

Until the medical doctors and Ph.D.'s in charge of America's mass

vaccination system stop playing politics with children's lives and get down

to the business of investigating the real causes for the chronic disease and

disability epidemic in America, the people will continue to question

one-size-fits-all mandatory vaccination policies. Kirby is

experiencing first hand what parents of vaccine injured children have

experienced since we launched the vaccine safety and informed consent

movement in America in 1982: discrimination and hostility from those who

have the money, prestige and power to do whatever they want to do to

individuals in the name of public health and " the greater good. "

CORPORATE CRIME REPORTER

April 21, 2005

NPR, Air America Nix Austism/Vaccine Book

National Public Radio wants nothing to do with Kirby.

Air America cancelled him.

But the Christian Broadcasting Network wants him on.

Kirby is the author of the hot-selling new book, Evidence of Harm: Mercury

in Vaccines and the Autism Epidemic: A Medical Controversy (St. 's

Press, 2005)

The book is sympathetic to parents of autistic children who believe that

mercury in vaccines is responsible, in part, for the recent upward spike in

autism cases - from one in 5,000 in 1987 to one in 166 today.

Kirby, a former assistant to New York City Democratic Party officials,

including former City Council President Carol Bellamy and former Mayor

Dinkins, says that " the right wing press has been all over this, and the

left wing press won't touch it. "

" NPR and the Public Broadcasting System get a lot of money from drug

companies, " Kirby told Corporate Crime Reporter. " And they need whatever

money they can get, so they are not going to offend any advertiser - ever.

Whereas the major commercial networks have a little more leeway and play.

They take more risks. The conservative press is anti-government, whereas the

liberal press is so pro-public health - it is like the Centers for Disease

Control (CDC) can do no wrong, doctors can do no wrong. It's like - the

liberal Democratic Party establishment created this public health system

that we are so proud of, and we are not going to attack it. "

" On the left, support of government public health programs trumps hatred of

drug companies, " Kirby said. " And the right is a little more divided. You

have the pro-business right - the Bill Frist and the Wall Street Journal

editorial side - who are defending the drug companies at all costs. And then

you have the real anti-government and anti-bureaucracy types who fear and

distrust government and think this [the mercury/autism link] is entirely

plausible. "

Kirby said that while he has been interviewed by local NPR affiliates like

WNYC in New York and WHYY in Philadelphia, " the national NPR has ignored

this book, hung up on me, written me back and told me to take them off my

mailing list. "

" Never in 15 years as a journalist have I ever been treated like this by

anybody - except for the CDC, " Kirby said. (For a complete transcript of the

11-page interview with Kirby, see 19 Corporate Crime Reporter 17(7), April

25, 2005, print edition only).

In the interview, Kirby said that lawyers representing autistic children

suing the vaccine makers will announce soon a new legal theory that the

lawyers believe will allow them to proceed in federal court and bypass the

federally mandated vaccine injury compensation program.
