Ian Sales stated that “This sounds like a June Bug event - see http://www.springerlink.com/content/v5u85k6jv858581r/ for an account of hysterical contagion”

Hysteria, does not cause deformities and does not explain deaths of our pets and why plants keep dying in our yards.

Birth defects could not be cuased by you living in Rosebery unless your mum lived there whilst she was pregnant.

The Dept of Health claims that the alarmingly high statistics of cancer, asthma and other chronic diseases on the West Coast is solely caused by ‘lifestyle’ issues. Environmental contaminants do not get a look in.  I wonder why? This time round, I think they are going to have one giant egg on their face - as one politician said “we don’t want to have panic” (we don’t mind people dying though)!

Dead people don’t panic.

...and why does David talk about birth defects? I haven’t seen that anywhere else. Do you know something David?
