Upcoming media

June 15, 2006

Hi, I just wanted to update everyone on a few

media related items.

I am doing a live radio interview today at 2PM EDT

with a station in Hawaii

about that state’s Hg ban bill, on KHVH Talk radio

Next Thursday, June 22, at 8:06AM PDT, I

will be on a taped interview with The Bill Handel Show on KFI AM Radio in LA.

It is the biggest morning radio show in Southern

California. The interview was very good, though we

spent a lot of time talking about the economics of Hg free vaccines. Still,

this allowed me to make the point that, if thimerosal turns out to be a cause

of autism, then $4 more per shot is a lot more economical than millions of

dollars for the lifetime care of an autistic person.

And, I am going to Fort

Worth

this weekend for the Investigative Reporters and Editors conference, where I

will be presented with the award for EOH on Saturday. On Friday, I am speaking

on a panel, aptly called, “When science goes wrong: Investigations into

vaccines and drugs,” along with Halsne

of KIRO-Seattle. There will be a book signing afterwards. St. ’s Press is also shipping

paperbacks out to Texas for me to personally give

to a number of top reporters at the conference. They include Grimaldi, of the Washington Post. He headed up the

selection committee, and raved about EOH. Grimaldi

just won the Pulitzer Prize for his work on the Jack Abramoff

scandal. Other reporters include Dana Priest, also of the Washington Post, who

won the Pulitzer for exposing the secret US torture procedures,

Esposito of ABC News, Bob Drogin of the LA Times, and

many others. I hope to speak with as many reporters as I can about covering the

thimerosal controversy.

For anyone in the DFW area who might want to attend, the

awards luncheon on Saturday is open to the public (though it does cost $40). It

would be a good opportunity for local parents to speak with the very best

investigative reporters in America. More info is at:

Cheers

Kirby
