The new study, published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, looked at medical records for more than 3,000 children born in Colorado between 1992 and 2019. The researchers found that children who were diagnosed with leukemia between the ages of two and nine were more than twice as likely to live within five kilometers — about three miles — of dense oil and gas development compared to healthy children. The study also found that Children who’d been diagnosed with leukemia during this time period were between 1.4 and 2.64 times more likely to live within 13 kilometers (about eight miles) of dense oil and gas development.

What makes them move there, do you think?

Their parents have jobs in the region?

Sorry, I wasn't being serious. The title kinda makes it sound like they live there because they have leukemia instead of having leukemia because they live there.

In that case, adding /s at the end of the comment helps a lot to clarify its tone

The comment was intended to make people think, "This idiot..." It really was a stupid question.

That's got to be the most American thing I've seen today.

"Why them stupid kids be breathing in the fumes, did noone ever teach them to hold their breath? Serves'em right. Bet they also be drinking that tap water, filled with the chemicals."

It was a joke, hoss

Considering they've got leukemia, that can't be good for them. They should really think about moving. /s

Because the solution to massively polluting industries is to give way and move out, right...??

God forbid somebody actually regulates them properly so they are held responsible for their fallout.

Perhaps then they would actually use some of that obscene profits to offset their negative impact, instead of buying social media "counter-ops".

That was supposed to be a joke conflating cause and effect.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I suggest you add an /s, because otherwise it reads like an oil shill...

Ducking mandatory vaccination! /s
