That would be how you do the study, but the issue will be that if we date it from the acknowledged date of exposure to Agent Orange in 1966 and 1967, that is 60-plus years times an average number of people in the armed forces of between 90,000 and 100,000, with changing cohorts of who's in that group and varying amounts of exposure, some not exposed at all and some exposed.... I mean, it is a huge puzzle.
It's doable. Certainly, AI is coming to the fore in public health in doing those kinds of studies if the documents are digitalized, which they may or may not be. Of course, if you want to get back to an individual, then you have a privacy issue, and you have to deal with that if you're going to run a study.
I'm not going to say that it's not doable, but I wonder if the amount of effort would be worth the benefit you'd get out of it as opposed to saying, “Let's just say that with regard to the people who were there at such-and-such a time and have such-and-such a diagnosis, we're going to look after them.” That would be much simpler.
A lot of compensation.... We're badmouthing the DND, but this is true of workers' compensation writ large. All our workers' compensation systems are set up on an adversarial basis.
