Study
There is a study coming that is going to look into the relationship between Agent Orange and MDS.
Perhaps no relationship will be found but at least the experts will be the ones doing the research. At present you are at the mercy of bureaucrats with no medical experience, yet they make the decisions.
Between FY08 and FY10 2,857 Vietnam Era veterans with Hopkins Lymphoma, a presumptive disease, were treated by the VA and 14% died. During the same period the VA treated 4,031 for MDS and 30% died - - - throwing in AML 2,518 were treated with 45% dying.
Of course, if you are and apologist for the VA, you will not think those numbers mean anything.
