IN VACCINES AND THE AUTISM EPIDEMIC: A MEDICAL CONTROVERSY"

the public during a free event at Brown University.

Among the subjects Kirby will address and take questions on:

1)    A recent case in the US Vaccine Court in which the government conceded
that vaccines induced autism in one little girl, and updates on other cases.

2)    Growing evidence of a link between mitochondrial dysfunction and
autistic regression, and case studies of several ASD children with
mitochondrial issues.

3)    State-of-the-art research underway at top universities on the
connection between environmental toxins, mitochondrial function, oxidative
stress, glutathione depletion, neuro-inflammation and autistic
encephalopathy.

4)    Declarations by US Presidential candidates that autism is epidemic and
calling for more research into vaccines and mercury as possible causes.

5)    Recent studies linking ASD with heavy metals and contaminants in air
pollution.

Kirby is a former contributor to The New York Times and a regular writer for
the The Huffington Post. This event is sponsored by Generation Rescue,
