Can Navy Medicine deliver an ethical and unbiased report on this topic? NO!! 

 

Is it ethical that the NMCPHC eliminated central nervous system, liver and kidney damage in the 09 NAF Atsugi Health study based on the 2002 reports?    NO - This is bias and unethical.

 

  ************************************************

The Navy identified specific health risks associated with residing at NAF Atsugi from 1985 to 2001 and a follow-up health study has been requested.

 

**********************************************

As indicated on the Draft Pregancy Facts for Atsugi  "all Navy Personnel have access to quality pre-natal care and education, something not all Americans enjoy.  Miscarriage rates should be compared to rates at Navy hospital in the U.S."

Why is the Navy still comparing former Atsugi resident’s illnesses to Yokosuka instead of a U.S. military base where toxic contamination is not an issue?  ***********************
