Interesting that they have been able to conclude this, supposedly without knowing the CAUSE of these conditions at this point in history. i.e. WHY is there more incidence of MS and cancer in this group?

Don't get me wrong . . . I'm very glad they are admitting it. But if they are taking accountibility, as if it was "job hazard", you'd think they would have a pretty god idea of how people get these "unexplained neurological conditions". Since when does anyone take responsibility when the the cause and effect factor hasn't been established?
