Anything more concrete?
I've read the reporting, and looked into the journalists and researchers behind it, and find them credible.
If you don't, it doesn't affect me any.
I haven't looked into it, just was curious and was wondering if you had anything else I can also look into later. Thanks for the original links though. I will look more into this later.
Those are both pretty through examples of indepth investigative reporting, by credentialed and experienced independent journalists and researchers. There's plenty of threads to pull on once you start reading into it.
It's also been covered by Ryan Grim, former DC Beauru Chief for The Intercept. I believe he has recorded interviews up with either researchers from those articles, or some other journalists specializing in covering scientific and medical fields, I forget which.
Cool. Thanks for posting. I'll do a good dive into it later to form an opinion.
