Mr. Fryer, would you be so kind as to tell us why you are an “early” retired scientist?

The weight of an infant is the critical factor in toxicology. Its almost like saying lets do a toxic check on chemical X which affects 1 in 1 000 and then eliminating all those affected by virtue of smallness or previous unwellness and finding that the 1 in 1 000 is in fact not 1 in 1 000 but actually the toxic chemical is at first good for us. The reason is simple, in small amounts the chemical toxin will kill adverse tiny bugs possibly but the active defence mechanisms of the large infant protects from immediate harm. The problem with mercury is that its action is possibly catalytic and will hasten eventual death or illness even at almost zero levels given sufficient time possibly as much as 25 years for some known toxins. There is much to be said for those who think autism is an old persons illness in a young body. Justification of mercury is like justifying the devil. John Fryer Chemist Hi

I especially loved the quote tennis game: hurt feelings versus science. Btw, what repercussions are in order for blowing the embargo date/time? What a comprehensive and direct post – great work.
