Kirby/Canadian Tour (Evidence of Harm/Mercury)

[Guest guest]

When Autism Today asked me if I would be interested in touring Canadian

cities to speak about my book, “Evidence of Harm – Mercury in Vaccines

and the Autism Epidemic,†I jumped at the chance. This simmering

controversy affects Canada every much as it does the United States, and I

am honored to be able to discuss the debate with our northern neighbors.

 

It will be the first time I take the “Evidence of Harm†message

outside the United States.

 

Why should Canadians be concerned about mercury and their children? There

are many reasons. To begin with, many Canadian kids received significant

amounts of thimerosal in their vaccines until at least 1994, and some

children may have received mercury after that time. In fact, many children

born in three Canadian provinces and three territories received mercury in

their Hepatitis B vaccines until at least 2002, and perhaps beyond. These

exposures were in addition to possible exposure through the influenza

vaccine, which is often given to pregnant women and children in Canada.

 

Mercury Exposures Today

 

Canadian children who received the flu and hepatitis B vaccine series were

exposed to as much as 63 micrograms of ethylmercury in the first seven

months of life, nearly equal to the amount of exposure in the UK, until

very recently. And prenatal exposure to thimerosal in Canada continues, in

the form of the flu shot (25 mcgs). Also, some women may have received

injections of thimerosal-containing immune globulin products while

pregnant. Prenatal exposure to mercury is thought to be extremely hazardous

for the developing fetus.

 

Meanwhile, a number of other thimerosal-containing vaccines for children

are still used in Canada, including some single antigen acellular pertussis

and conjugate H. influenzae vaccines, diphtheria-tetanus (DT), and

diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis (DTaP) vaccines, all of which

contain 25 micrograms of ethylmercury.

 

All of this comes on top of environmental exposures in Canada, including

fish consumption, dental amalgams and air pollution. Some Canadians are

exposed to increased levels of mercury from coal-fired plants in Canada and

the US. Meanwhile, mining activities are also a significant source of

environmental mercury contamination.

 

Autism in Canada

 

It is much more difficult to assess mercury exposures and autism

statistics in Canada than in the US. To begin with, there are no reliable

nationwide autism prevalence statistics in Canada, and it is impossible to

say what are the current trends in the number of cases in the country. The

rate of Pervasive Development Disorders in Canada is said to be 1-166,

roughly the same at the US. However, these numbers include children up to

19 years of age, and many of them would have received mercury in vaccines.

The prevalence of full blown autism in Canada, as opposed to PDD, has not

been reported publicly.

 

These are just some of the many topics I will address on my tour. I will

also give an update on all new science that has been generated recently and

recent action in the US Senate. In addition, information on controversial

new treatments for autism – such as chelation and methyl B12 therapy –

will be discussed.

 

Thanks are due to Autism Today for making these important engagements a

reality.
