Getting out of Harm's Way

The report In Harm's Way by the Greater Boston Physicians for Social Responsibilty's authors Ted Schettler, Jill Stein, Fay Reich, and Maria Valenti would have made Rachel Carson proud. 

The report, which I recommend you read if you haven't yet, is a wonderfully orchaestrated conversation about the current circumstance of chemical regulations and current evidence of developmental disorders in children as a result of toxicity. I felt dumbfounded looking at the increased incidence of developmental disorders in children today. I grew up with a brother who suffered from OCD and ADHD perpetually through his schooling. When he was on medication, his emotions and weight would fluctuate, and when he was off them he experienced immense difficulty in his classes. 

The colossal increase in incidence of Autism leads me back to the attempt to blame the occurrence on vaccinations. How can people point fingers at the most influential and brilliant public health/medical discovery since sanitation when we have a litany of evidence showing the levels of chemicals humans are introduced starting even before birth?
