Re: ot: Toxic neighbors - Forbes mag on EPA dilution of pollution reporting via Toxics Release Inventory (TRI)

[Guest guest]

Haleh,

Thank you for sharing. Your son illustrates important principles. A

thimerosal injection is not a mandatory requirement for a child to have

regressive autism. The MMR has injured its share of toddlers. The

'background' factors such as pesticides, smokestack mercury, and other

toxins you mention increase the child's risk for developing in ways

other than neurotypical. I agree, the EPA needs to hear from lots of

people. Furthermore, Congress needs to hear that autism parents are

upset about the EPA's intent to hide toxic releases.
