Dan Olmsted Presented with PAVE's
2008 "Truth in Journalism" Award

Dan Olmsted wrote "The Age of Autism" column for United Press International for two years and is now an independent journalist based in Washington, D.C., who continues to focus on autism and related issues. He has reported on a lower prevalence of autism amongst unvaccinated children, leading to a bill now in Congress to force the government to do a full-scale study. He has also reported on signs of mercury exposure in the very first cases of autism reported at Johns Hopkins in 1943, a possible link between multiple live-virus vaccinations at an early age, and a higher risk of autism in genetically susceptible children. Olmsted has also written critically about the mainstream media's failure to aggressively pursue the story and pay equal attention to what parents say, rather than relying on "experts" and public health officials, many of whom have conflicts of interest.

Olmsted, a graduate of Yale, was an original staff member for USA Today before joining UPI in 1999. He lives in Falls Church, VA.
