One of the things people continually talk about is giving our veterans the benefit of the doubt about whether or not their condition is related to something that happened during their service. We hear that over and over again. Yet, when it comes to something as serious as this—and this is very serious.... This is not something to just brush over and try to sweep under the carpet, saying, “Well, no, maybe you're suffering PTSD or something else that is not related to this.” That is absolutely.... I don't know the word to use. I'm lost for words.
I am very upset by this, because I can see things like anxiety and suicide—some of the worst things that these veterans have to deal with day in and day out. They are coming forth in good faith to say, “I had this experience with this drug.” I want to put that on the record, because this is, as you have said, “poisoning of the brain, and poisoning of the central nervous system”. This happened to certain individuals.
