I cant get these things out of my mind: Prevention is the - TopicsExpress



          

I cant get these things out of my mind: Prevention is the cornerstone of Public Health. The Department of Health was not present at the table in the decisions of states who allowed High Volume Hydraulic Fracturing (HVHF). We are lucky enough in New York that the DOH is. - Dr. Howard Zucker, M.D. Governor Cuomo, you asked for my opinion on HVHF and you said Let the science decide. As a doctor, when there is not enough scientific data to make a clinical decision, I ask myself What would I recommend for my 2 year old child? I did the same in this decision on hydraulic fracturing. and I asked Would I want my daughter to play next to a hydraulic fracturing well? Following the review of the evidence, my answer is NO. THE POTENTIAL RISKS ARE TOO GREAT, AS A MATTER OF FACT THEY ARE NOT EVEN FULLY KNOWN. UNTIL THE PUBLIC HEALTH RED FLAGS ARE ANSWERED, I CANNOT SUPPORT HIGH VOLUME HYDRAULIC FRACTURING IN THE GREAT STATE OF NEW YORK. O happy day!
