I'm waitin' for the Surgeon General and the EPA to explain how, if
cigarette smoke is so deadly even in trace secondhand amounts, people
smoke for 50 years and exhibit no serious side effects.
Few a few anecdotal cases you conclude the government research is wrong
then in another post you argue against the poster's self anecdote.
Only a fool argues both sides of the fence at the same time.

I hope they'll include how they tie any illness to a particular source.
It is a statistical correlation. To detect effects like this requires
data from many cases (people).
That of course will include how they determined that so many guys who
practically swam in Agent Orange suffered absolutely no ill effects
related to exposure. That so many of those guys contracted cancer...
that was just a... w a i t f o r i t... coincidence.
I believe they reversed that conclusion several years ago. Yes that
means sometimes they get it wrong. Much to the bewilderment of many
people, science is not about absolutes. It is about a better
approimation than we had last year.
Deal with it.
