Transcript of Imus and Kirby Mar 05, 2008

[Guest guest]

>From: Rmoffi@...

This transcript is my own, admittedly amateurish attempt to convey the

interview between Don Imus and Kirby this morning:

-----------------------------------------------------------------

IMUS: Good morning Mr. Kirby. How are you?

DAVID: I'm good. It's been exactly 3 years ago when you and Diedre really

started bringing this to the people's attention. Boy, talk about " Ground

Hog Day " . It just seems like we're beating the same issues all over again,

without getting anywhere.

IMUS. I thought it was kind of amusing to me, after Senator McCain said

what he said in Texas, which I'll ask you about in a second....to see my

name in a couple of columns blaming me for influencing him. When I've

never said anything of the kind. I've got my own suspicions, but, any way,

what exactly did Sen. McCain say now?

DAVID: Sen. McCain said, after being asked a question Texas by a woman

referring to the big court case, which was just conceded, in which the

government said that a girl's vaccine injury led to and resulted in an

ultimate diagnosis of autism. She asked him about it and he, to just about

everyone's surprise, said he believed there was strong evidence to

implicate the vaccine ingredient called thimerosal, in the rise in the

numbers of cases. He said the rise of cases is indisputable, meaning it's

not just better diagnosis, we have more autism in America today then we had

10 or 15 years ago. He's trying to figure out what is going on. He

recognizes there is a national emergency. It may not be the mercury in the

vaccines, it may not be the vaccines at all, but, until we get to the

bottom of this it's refreshing, to say the least, to hear a politician out

their talking about what a lot of other people are talking about. At some

point, if you want to get into some of the studies that are coming out,

McCain, who's been blasted in the last 24 hours, taking more " incoming "

that I've received in 5 years in just 24 hours. He is referring to actual

studies that have been published by very top flight scientists, and, he has

a very good medical and science staff. He would not have made this

statement flippantly, and, it didn't come out of nowhere.

IMUS: The next question: There is scientific evidence out there

suggesting that there is a definitive link?

DAVID: There's lots of science evidence, when taken together might suggest

a link. Or might suggest a mechanism. My position has always been that

this has not been proven one way or the other. Yes, there is evidence to

refute, there is more evidence everyday to support this theory. People who

oppose it, think this is over, and, I think it would serve them well to

take a minute or two, go back to Pubmed, look at the studies that did not

appear in the NY Times or on ABC news. We get filtered information in this

country, and, I frankly don't blame people for thinking that this is bunk,

baloney, proven over and done with. Anyone who brings it up is

crazy....because they have not been given access to the studies. The

American people have not been given all the information they need. They

need to go out and find it. It's there, look at the brain studies that

people from Harvard and s Hopkins. They are presenting with oxidative

stress, heavy metals and mercury in the brain. Look at the study in Child

Neurology that went back and looked at a previous study...lo and

behold...they found that children with autism do have higher levels of

mercury in their blood. A mistake was made in the original calculations

and some mitrochrondrial studies have just come out....continue to come

out....which are very germane to this court case. It all starts to fall

into place, and it is hard science. It is peer reviewed. People are

willfully ignoring it, some of them, they know its out there and they won't

look at it. Most of the people online who are saying that McCain is

crazy, Don Imus is crazy, Kirby is crazy....have not bothered to read

these studies. It's frustrating because you want to have a scientific

discussion but you are talking to people who only have half the picture.

IMUS: Talking with Kirby here on the Imus program, in an effort to

get the audience to kill themselves. The vaccine manufacturers claim they

took thimerosal out of the vaccines when? Not the flu vaccines but most

vaccines.

DAVID: The media reports that all mercury came out of all shots in 2001.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

IMUS: What is the truth?

DAVID: Well, we don't know and the government won't tell us.

IMUS: Well, why don't the vaccine manufacturers tell us?

DAVID: They don't have to.

DAVID: They stopped making mercury containing vaccines right around the

end of 2001. Now, this stuff goes and gets shipped into warehouses. Then

it gets into the pipeline, that's when the expiration date is placed on it,

the day it leaves the warehouse. They stocked up on mercury containing

vaccines as they were transiting into the mercury free formula. For those

years, 2000, 2001, 2002, 1003 and I'm quite certain into 2004, a lot of

this stuff was still sitting on shelves. In the meantime, we started

giving the flu shot to pregnant women and infant children, which still

contains the full amount of mercury. We never hit zero, and now we're back

up. If a women who gets the flu shot is pregnant, the fetus will be

exposed to that. Then the child gets another flu shot at 6 months, 7

months and 18 months. With all the residual mercury in some of the other

shots, the child is getting about 85 micrograms of mercury, total exposure.

Which is, yes, much less than it used to be, but, we're not at zero. And

again, the mitrochrondial disease, at least for a subset of these kids,

given that they have that disease, they might be sensitive to any amount of

mercury, or any toxin that could set them over the edge.

IMUS: Then, in these vaccines, whether the mercury is used as a

preservative or not, a trace amount of mercury is used in all vaccines.

DAVID: That's correct. About 1/2 micrograms in most of the shots these

kids are getting. That's very, very little, in and of itself. The point

is, if you do have some type of allergic problem with this or you do have

an inability to secret it, it will accumulate in your body. I think the

evidence is pointing now, beyond just mercury, beyond just thimerosal. I

believe there are several things in our environment that can trigger

several different types of conditions and predisposition's that ultimately

manifest in symptoms we diagnose as autism. Whether it truly is classic

autism or not, you don't really care.

IMS: What are they?

DAVID: It may be genetics, because of mitrochrondial health, in other

words, cellular energy, because of a pre-exisitng autoimmune condition,

allergic condition. Given any set of those conditions, and then getting

any set of triggers, mercury in vaccines, the number and type of vaccine

we're giving now, pollution in the air, pesticides, flame retardants or

even just if a kid is set up for regression.....whatever gets there first,

I'm talking hypothetically, but, whatever gets there first may set off the

regression. In most cases in this country, that insult came in the form of

a vaccine.

IMUS: You know what I never understood? They warn people particularly

pregnant women, not to eat fish because of the extraordinary high levels of

mercury they found in fish. In fact, the NY Times did a study, went around

to sushi joints and they found an insane level of mercury in these various

fish. It's my understanding the form of mercury in fish is not as lethal

as the form of mercury in vaccines. So, what has never made sense to me,

if they don't want you to eat a less lethal form of mercury in fish, they

think it's okay or fine to inject any amount of mercury into the

bloodstream of an infant. Just on a common sense level, sounds to me INSANE!

DAVID: Some people think it is. It's certainly contradictory, that the NY

Times reported the ultra high levels of mercury in Tuna, which means

environmental levels in general are going up. They reported New Jersey is

trying to implement mandatory flu vaccines for kids going to school.

Everyone should go online right now and look up the flu vaccine. Look up

the product insert. It will say, and don't quote me exactly, something

like " this product has not been studied in pregnant women. The

reproductive effects are unknown. The impact on the fetus is unknown.

this product is not indicated for pregnant women unless medically necessary " .

IMUS: Now you are not saying, I know I'm not saying, that there is a

definitive, drop dead link between autism and thimerosal in vaccines. What

you're saying and what I'm saying is, at some point, we need to all reach a

definitive scientific determination if, in fact that is the case. Is that

what you're saying?

DAVID. Absolutely.

IMUS: Okay, so why do people characterize you and others, and me, though

I'm less to the story than anyone else, my wife is a big part of the story

and so are you....why are you all characterized as being crazy when you are

not saying what they say you are saying?

DAVID: If you sat down and read only the studies the people seem to be

reading...and you ignore the studies that people like me and Diedre read,

you would come to the same conclusion.... Kirby is crazy, what is he

talking about? People need to do their own homework. Listen, I think the

biggest problem here is we're all operating in a vacuum. This court case

that was just conceded is a confidential document. The government does not

think we should be able to see it.

IMUS: Now, you're talking about the vaccine court?

DAVID: I'm talking about the vaccine court. Now the family that just won

this settlement can go back to court and ask permission of the government

to talk about what happened to their child.

IMUS; What did the vaccine court determine?

DAVID: They determined this child have an underlying microchrondrial

disorder, which produces low cellular energy and was aggravated by her

vaccines. She got 9 vaccines in 1 day. 5 shots....9 vaccines. Within

months she regressed into autism. In fact, she was diagnosed with

full-blown autism.

IMUS: Why haven't we read about that in the NY Times or seen it on NBC

nightly news?

DAVID: Well, the NY Times is not particularly interested in this story.

There are reporters out there this week trying to cover it, but, until the

family gets permission from government to speak, I'm not sure how much

coverage it actually is going to get. You know, I love being on your show,

but, I wish instead of me being here this morning, you have somebody from

the HHS. Because what we basically have over there is a wall of silence.

Why is it not okay to talk about this? Why is this confidential? Exactly

whose interests are being protected if the family says it's perfectly okay

to talk about this....and...the family wants to talk about it? Why is the

government saying we can't talk about it? Those rules are in place to

protect the privacy of the family, which has already been waived.

IMUS: We're out of time .....thank you Mr. Kirby;
