More likely from the handford nuclear waste storage site. I heard it has been leaking. Cases would be more wide spread than this. It is localised to one area. Which is near handford.

Yakima is a heavy agricultural area.

The best Hops, and grains in the world are grown there (for beer).

Consider the possibility of some new (experimental) agricultural chemical or some new (experimental) variety of GMO.

The assault on human beings, in the name of bigger profits for international crime cartels is alarming.

But the Psychopath doesn't consider people as "human beings", they are targets, marks, stooges, victims, fools, tools, cattle...etc...

“They may have eaten the same type of produce from a particular grower or farmer, which essentially put all those folks at risk,” she said.

A Texas A&M University Health Science Center study published last year found that mothers of babies with spina bifida were twice as likely to ingest at least 5 milligrams of nitrate daily from drinking water than control mothers of babies without major birth defects.

It is not new. It is old, it has been in widespread use for twenty years or more.

It is called Roundup.

It is what was sprayed all over S Vietnam during the Vietnam war.

I used to live in Yakima.
By the way Fukushima fallout was detected in Europe.

Those apple orchards have been there for a VERY LONG TIME and so has the spraying.

The article says this is a new phenomena.

Hanford is not close at all.
The wind blows east from Hanford, Away from Yakima.

This IS FROM FUKUSHIMA.

I just lost a friend to cancer who worked at Hanford...

Quite obvious, the mothers ate FISH and breathed in hot particles..

[link to www.nbcnews.com]
A mysterious cluster of severe birth defects in rural Washington state is confounding health experts, who say they can find no cause, even as reports of new cases continue to climb.

Federal and state officials won’t say how many women in a three-county area near Yakima, Wash., have had babies with anencephaly, a heart-breaking condition in which they’re born missing parts of the brain or skull. And they admit they haven't interviewed any of the women in question, or told the mothers there's a potentially widespread problem.

But as of January 2013, officials with the Washington state health department and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had counted nearly two dozen cases in three years, a rate four times the national average.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 30670164


I saw that. Interesting how they have eliminated almost every possible cause except the obvious. They hinted about an enviromental event but did not outright say it.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 3579588


The State of WAshington knows very well that those birth defects are caused by Roundup herbicide. Agriculture is big money in Washington and agriculture is practically owned by Monsanto.

Here is why Washington State cannot identify the cause of anencephaly as being caused by Roundup, though research has established a firm link -- they do not WANT to identify the cause:

Agriculture

Washington is a leading agricultural state. (The following figures are from the Washington State Office of Financial Management and the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service, Washington Field Office.) For 2003, the total value of Washington's agricultural products was $5.79 billion, the 11th highest in the country. The total value of its crops was $3.8 billion, the 7th highest. The total value of its livestock and specialty products was $1.5 billion, the 26th highest. In 2010, the total value of the crops was $7.93 billion.[13]
Azwell, Washington, a small community of pickers' cabins and apple orchards.

In 2004, Washington ranked first in the nation in production of red raspberries (90.0% of total U.S. production), wrinkled seed peas (80.6%), hops (75.0%), spearmint oil (73.6%), apples (58.1%), sweet cherries (47.3%), pears (42.6%), peppermint oil (40.3%), Concord grapes (39.3%), carrots for processing (36.8%), and Niagara grapes (31.6%). Washington also ranked second in the nation in production of lentils, fall potatoes, dry edible peas, apricots, grapes (all varieties taken together), asparagus (over a third of the nation's production), sweet corn for processing, and green peas for processing; third in tart cherries, prunes and plums, and dry summer onions; fourth in barley and trout; and fifth in wheat, cranberries, and strawberries.

The apple industry is of particular importance to Washington. Because of the favorable climate of dry, warm summers and cold winters of central Washington, the state has led the U.S. in apple production since the 1920s.[14] Two areas account for the vast majority of the state's apple crop: the Wenatchee–Okanogan region (comprising Chelan, Okanogan, Douglas, and Grant counties), and the Yakima region (Yakima, Benton and Kittitas counties).[15]
Wikipedia

We are looking at a lot of money, and a lot of Monsanto

******

I am really a little weary of experts who do not even know where Yakima is spouting off about Hanford and Fukushima. I have eaten Yakima ag products and breathed Hanford air since I was a child. I grew up on Hanford atomic testing fallout. I have lived mere miles from Hanford and now live only a couple of hours away. I have picked apples in Yakima and hauled grain to the feed lots south of Yakima.

I and others from the area know that the Yakima river does not flow to Spokane, and the Fuku fallout will affect Seattle more than Yakima.

***

The problem with these birth defects is herbicide -- Roundup, not radiation... there is a difference between defects that are being caused by radiation and those that are caused by over use of the toxic herbicide Roundup manufactured by Monsanto.

Again I am going to say that I am sure there are Monsanto shills on this board who are deliberately directing the dialog away from Monsanto and Roundup and drilling in real hard on Hanford and Fuku. Anything but Monsanto.

Tumors and leukemia are common radiation sicknesses. Anencephaly, the birth defect in OPs article, is linked directly to Monsanto's roundup.

It is really very simple.

Congenital malformations. Increased rates of teratogenic effects reported all over Europe, with a dose dependent relationship found in a Bavarian study. In Europe there were also widespread increases in still birth, premature birth, low birth weight, Down's Syndrome, perinatal and neonatal deaths, and reduced birth rate. In Belarus, according to the Belarus National Genetic Monitoring Registry, there were post-Chernobyl increases in anencephaly, spina bifida, cleft lip, cleft palate, polydactyly, limb reduction, oesophageal atresia, anorectal atresia and multiple malformations. Many of the authors explicitly state that these phenomena are radiogenic. One, a researcher known for her caution, says only a third of congenital deformities of the face and jaw could be attributed to radiation. But it is a third, and those which are so attributed are said to be anomalously severe.

Hanford Nuclear facility is in Benton county and your anecdotal story about "growing up on Hanford atomic testing fallout" is meaningless.

Please, inspite of getting pushy in any way,
lets get real and realise that it is NEVER EVER 1 THING ALONE !!!

Maybe those woman were related or married to men who work with DU,
maybe those women worked closely with other chemicals,
maybe it adds up big with Hanford,
maybe a little part is comming from Fuku,
and a big deal with Monsanto's Roundup.



In 1962 farmers reported many of their animals were born with severe deformities and nightmarish effects to function that became increasingly a concern for the residents surrounding the nuclear plant as well as people who lived in regions bordering on Canada.

240,000 people live in the immediate areas surrounding Hanford. People talked about miscarriages, birth defects and rare diseases impacting children that increased following the development of the plant at Hanford.

Initially folks took pride in the fact that Hanford had been chosen as the jewel in the crown of nuclear development, but that pride soon turned into great fear. As Spiegel reports, residents of the Tri-Cities of Pasco, Kennewick and Richland, ” are among the most highly radiated humans on earth.”

210 earthquakes happened in the Hanford area during 2010, the strongest measuring 3.0. But the fact that these earthquakes aren’t so severe is not reassuring to environmental scientists and others. “The leaking underground tanks and the contaminated groundwater moving toward the river mean a radioactive future for the river unless the mess can be cleaned up in time to avoid a serious radiological disaster,” says Glen Spain, a regional director for the Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen’s Associations (PCFFA).

[link to greenheritagenews.com]



Then we have also oil and the fracking for oil and gas ...
Fracking (hydro-fracturing) is the process of blasting shale with a mixture of water and chemicals to release energy. The blasting contributes to earthquakes, and only 30-50% of the fracking fluid is recovered; the remainder of the toxic chemical mixture is left in the ground, spreading to groundwater - and into people's drinking water.

In Yakima are 5 companies related to oil-fracking
[link to www.yellowpages.com]


[link to www.yakimaregional.com]
Groundwater and surface water samples taken near fracking operations in Colorado contained chemicals that can disrupt male and female hormones, researchers say.
These chemicals, which are used in the fracking process, also were present in samples taken from the Colorado River, which serves as the drainage basin for the region, according to the study, which was published online Dec. 16 in the journal Endocrinology.
"More than 700 chemicals are used in the fracking process, and many of them disturb hormone function," study co-author Susan Nagel, an assistant professor at the University of Missouri School of Medicine, said in a journal news release. "With fracking on the rise, populations may face greater health risks from increased endocrine-disrupting chemical exposure."
Exposure to these chemicals can increase cancer risk and hamper reproduction by decreasing female fertility and the quality and quantity of sperm, the researchers said.
Hydraulic fracturing, also called fracking, is a controversial process that involves pumping water, sand and chemicals deep underground at high pressure. The purpose is to crack open hydrocarbon-rich shale and extract natural gas.
Previous studies have raised concerns that such drilling techniques could lead to contamination of drinking water.



Its not only Monsanto-roundup or only radiation or only something else !!!

ITS A MIX OF ALL THESE THINGS.

But it is to say that China could care less too.

Re: WASHINGTON STATE-Babies Born Without Skulls and Brains-FUKUSHIMA!
I am really a little weary of experts who do not even know where Yakima is spouting off about Hanford and Fukushima. I have eaten Yakima ag products and breathed Hanford air since I was a child. I grew up on Hanford atomic testing fallout. I have lived mere miles from Hanford and now live only a couple of hours away. I have picked apples in Yakima and hauled grain to the feed lots south of Yakima.

I and others from the area know that the Yakima river does not flow to Spokane, and the Fuku fallout will affect Seattle more than Yakima.

I'm weary of people not being able to comprehend what they read.

From the article:

"The agencies released a report last summer detailing an investigation of 27 women with pregnancies that resulted in neural tube defects in Yakima, Franklin and Benton counties between 2010 and 2013."

Hanford Nuclear facility is in Benton county and your anecdotal story about "growing up on Hanford atomic testing fallout" is meaningless.

This isn't to say Monsanto isn't the devil and roundup doesn't cause unbelievable problems, but the evidence is not with you for it being the sole cause in these cases.

Sorry to burst your bubble.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 52825072


Sorry to burst yours, but hard data shows that indeed I did grow up in the path of fallout from Hanford's nuclear testing, and both the feds and the downwinders are using that very data in lawsuits by downwinders who are seeking damages. Hard data shows that residents of this area did experience the effects of the nuclear testing.

Federal and state officials won’t say how many women in a three-county area near Yakima, Wash., have had babies with anencephaly, a heart-breaking condition in which they’re born missing parts of the brain or skull. And they admit they haven't interviewed any of the women in question, or told the mothers there's a potentially widespread problem.

The evidence is that in fact Roundup is linked with that particular birth defect that the article mentions.

Again, I am not talking about thyroid cancer, leukemia, or other cancers and birth defects associated with radiation.

I absolutely understand which county Hanford is located in, I have lived in the tri-cities.

I absolutely understand the dangers of Fuku fallout and Hanford leaking.

But, the data about the birth defects 2010-2013 fits very well the introduction of "Roundup Ready" crops, widely planted in the Basin. This seeds allow even greater use of the weed killer. Did you know about Roundup Ready seed? If so, why have you not mentioned it?

The evidence is not with you that Fuku or Hanford are the SOLE cause of the birth defects, which I have read posted here over and over and over.

I am saying that you cannot discount the effects of Roundup, when it has been well documented, and well ignored by the likes of you.

***********

Roundup is the ONE factor that has been linked to these birth defects that can be controlled in this scenario.

Fuku radiation cannot be controlled. Hanford leakage cannot be controlled.

Roundup can be banned, just like 2-4-D was banned, or at least the use can be restricted. That is physically possible tomorrow.

And all you people are ignoring that.

That is my point.

Go see the usa wind map if you want to see which way the wind usually blows. There are 3 counties involved so far. Those are the 3 counties that constantly get the most Hanford radiation. The three are Yakima County, Benson County, and Franklin County.
There are more apple trees in other parts of eastern Washington, such as Okanogan County, Douglas County, and Chelan County which also have NO incidents of this stuff. It isn't about apple orchards.

Also, it is Mexicans farm workers who are out in the apple sprays every day, and they have more kids that white people here do by far. I haven't heard of it affecting them yet.

The new, huge GMO corn research center is in Othello, WA is just north of there too, but that doesn't appear to be the major impact logically at this time from looking in at it.

Hanford is in a part of the state has wind that blows in every direction as a rule.

I am local to all of this.
