Proof?
768 out of 100,000 Vietnam veterans have or had (dead now) MDS. The occurrence in the general population is 3.8 per 100,000. That is not proof but it is pretty staggering.
After a number of delays, there is a study being undertaken by one of the top hematologist at one of the top cancer centers in this country to attempt to establish the link.
Benzene is the primary cause of MDS and yet the VA argues that TCDD contains none. TCDD is 2,3,7,8-Tetrachloro dibenzo -p-Dioxin (2,3,7,8,-TCDD)- - - prettier name for that little bugger is Agent Orange.
