Interesting Historical Document On Agent Orange

[free_spirit_etc]

This is a pretty interesting historial document on Agent Orange. Interesting on how the VA and other governmental agencies stacked the decks on the early studies.

Also has some interesting discussion on the VA requiring distinct causal relationships - when the benefit of the doubt doctrine just requires statistical significance.(more likely than not)

Admiral Zumwalt -who wrote this report-and his family suffered from the effects of Agent Orange and he was very instrumental in getting the many cancers put onto the AO list-

Project 112 (SHAD) and numerous other issues today are just like what AO used to be-

it took a lot of scientific work and pressure to get the many STS cancers on the AO list-

The VBM (NVLSP) always suggests that there is good chance many more AO diseases will get on the presumptive list in the future.

I wish the Admiral could be apart of the Blue Water Navy situation today- but he is deceased-

NVLSP is still accessing info for the Haas case-

I posted what they want but will re-post it today.

Admiral Zumwalt's son died from cancer, which is believed to have been caused by exposure to Agent Orange while serving in Vietnam. Admiral Zumwalt died from mesothelioma caused by exposure to asbestos probably due to serving on old WW II ships. Admiral Zumwalt would have been a great advocate for veterans. 68mustang
