Amazing! Thanks to all who worked so tirelessly on this, especially those at ACCHEMIC. As for the agnotology, we still have a long way to go. If those that would deny us justice and good health for profit can't keep us ignorant, they will try to confuse the issues as much as possible. Big tobacco case and mold issue as well as the dioxin A K A agents orange, blue and white illustrate this quite well, next will be the Corexit.
