I'm a Monkey's Uncle
You're right, Paula, we need a good and thorough review of where the science stands.
That said, one person alone made the decision to halt scientific research. For me, the ESCR controversy is all about politics and the inappropriate insertion of religion into politics. We've had to waste so much energy fighting this for the past 7 years, advocacy energy that could have been put to more productive use. We have no way to measure the impact on our health because of the halt; I can only say it hasn't been positive.
Guess I'm only half a monkey's uncle; didn't mention his name, but we all know who I am talking about!
Ok, now I've got that off my chest, and I can get back to the science!
