Re: LLRC Email - FW: Four nuclear wars
The alleged "child leukaemia cluster" near Fallon is an unlikely source of
proof for anything. The "cluster" is used for whatever cause happens to be
in vogue at the time. Several years ago the cause was the alleged risks of
arsenic in drinking water. Due to natural sources of arsenic, well water
in the Fallon area was many times higher than the standard that had been
accepted during the Clinton administration. At that time it was
politically advantagous to claim that the alleged "cluster" had been caused
by arsenic. I looked into it a bit at the time. One child had died. That
child was raised in California and had first arrived in Fallon only a few
months before being diagnosed with leukaemia. Another young lady (18 at
the time) was near death from leukaemia. Although she had spent more time
in the Fallon area, most of the time she had lived elsewhere. There was
no evidence that the parents of either of those "cluster" cases had lived
in the Fallon area prior to the births of their children. It would be
interesting to see what evidence, if any, there is that the parents of any
of the children used to claim a "cluster" had spent any time in the Fallon
area gathering a "genetic legacy".

Leuren, however, points out that there are four bombing and gunnery ranges
around Fallon, where for decades the Navy has tested thousands of tons of
DU weapons, which she says "is no doubt the cause" of the leukaemia. Quite
so. A more plausible explanation than population mixing, in view of the
cancers leukaemias and birth defects associated with other places where DU
has been used -- not to mention the weapons tests which took place in
Nevada when the current leukaemia children's parents were growing up. What
genetic legacy have they been forced to pass on?
