While it is perfectly acceptable science to say that we don’t know everything about these illnesses and that more research is needed, it is not now – nor has it ever been accepted science – to conclude that these illnesses are not occurring to humans exposed in water damaged buildings. It is not now – nor has it ever been accepted science – that one can apply math to a rodent study and determine sick citizens are simply liars and whiners out to scam the poor insurance industry.

Congress needs to exercise oversight and tell those who would promote the false denial of illness to step aside so the true science may move forward. They will NOT step aside unless Congress forces them to do so.
