I became aware of the US Military concern over Uranium from exploded so-called “Depleted Uranium” shells and tank armour decades ago.
My friend was exposed in Kosovo and Gaza while working for the UN investigating War Crimes and Human Trafficking.
I told people that we can expect Cancer Clusters and Birth Defects as a result of Jets with Uranium Stabilizers hitting the Twin Towers of New York and anywhere else where the radioactive dust is spread.
I was interested in a recent post by Mathew Crawford where he recounted a conversation with a recently married young soldier concerned about having children in a world like the one that we live in.1
Mathew said:
For any readers who are still unaware, the DMED does NOT contain data representing any form of injury or illness among babies born to military personnel. Why not? Because babies aren’t soldiers (true). The DMED is intended to track the health of soldiers. And while we might be interested in the health of the children born to soldiers, we would have to locate that data elsewhere.
I am surprised that Mathew did not refer the young soldier to the extensive Birth Defects Registry set up for descendants of US Military personnel as Congressionally Directed Medical Medical Research.2
For descendants, baseline data may be collected at birth or after enrollment in the HMRP. For parents who are not active-duty service members or veterans, baseline data may be collected when they enter the program or when they (if women) become pregnant.
Looking back in time.
Study designs that have particular relevance for the HMRP include perinatal and birth cohorts such as the National Collaborative Perinatal Project conducted by NIH between 1959–1974, which obtained information on pre- and postnatal child health for 58,000 pregnancies in the United States
They have looked at Uranium, Burn Pits, Hexavalent Chromium and Sarin.
