Re: sort of OT: Harvey Kliman researcher at Yale

[Guest guest]

My take on Kliman's statement contained in a letter is that

significance and meaning of the trophoblast inclusions is unknown. It

could be a marker of mercury toxicity. The early reports on this study

suggested that this was strongly tied to genetics. Obviously, whether

or not the finding of trophoblast inclusions is tied to genetics is

completely unknown and those saying so in strong terms, especially

academic autism researchers, are being disingenuous and pushing a

genetic agenda and ideology.

So what we have here is dishonest spin on findings, the significance of

which is unkown. The possible connection to mercury toxicity is

intriguing.
