Apparently there is a new name, “alternative facts,” for the claims about the birth defects on vertebrate animals that the government agencies have been stating since 1996. Independent wildlife biologists and veterinarians reported documented facts in peer-reviewed studies regarding those adverse health issues on wild and domestic animals and newborn children including underbite, overbite, reproductive malformations, heart defects, eye malformations and cancer. Biologists working for government agencies have provided multiple “alternative facts” for 20 years to explain the changes in the faces and organs, calling obvious birth defects “normal variations,” “an artifact of being dead,” “impact trauma,” “rumors,” etc.
The specific birth defects documented on vertebrate animals by multiple studies have also been increasing each year since 1996 on human newborns throughout the United States, according to the CDC records. Heart defects (#3 on wildlife) are now the #1 birth defect on human newborns and increasing. The same cancers documented on many mammals and birds have increased significantly on humans of all ages, again according to the CDC records. With the EPA now significantly compromised, the rates of disrupted development on newborn babies and cancer in humans of all ages will likely continue to go up even faster.
With Affordable Health Care in line to be totally dismantled, the increase in all of these extremely serious health issues will cost the families of the affected children and adults unsustainable amounts for the consequent health care. Take a moment to consider the resultant effects on the people, the state and the nation of this pending catastrophe, not to mention all the wildlife that are already going extinct because of high mortality in the young. At the very least, everyone should be alarmed about the effects on newborns. Hopefully, this concern will manifest before it is too late.
