“These NIH experts apparently broke our laws by smuggling viral pathogens on a packed commercial airplane from an outbreak in the Republic of Congo. Let that sink in,” United States Attorney Gorgon stated.

Neonicotinoids were designed to target insects.
But biology rarely respects marketing categories.
This review summarizes growing evidence that human exposure is widespread, including during pregnancy, and that these compounds may affect neurodevelopment, reproduction, endocrine signaling, and other systems.
The right public-health question is not whether every signal is proven beyond doubt.
It is whether widespread, chronic exposure to biologically active chemicals is being monitored with the seriousness it deserves.
Transparency.
Biomonitoring.
Independent science.
That is how trust is earned.
