I still don't understand. There are 2.7 million boots on the ground Vietnam veterans, about 1% of the total population. If MDS rates are 768/100,000 per year that would be 27*768 or 20,738. Since there are about 12,000 people a year diagnosed with MDS I find the 768 number hard to believe.

It has been shown that benzene exposure raises the risk of MDS by 4.33 times. I find it hard to believe that an agent that causes several hundreds times higher risk can be so well hidden.

I am sorry if I mis interrupt what you are saying.
