I can recall what I said.

I guess you don't consider children, developing embryos and fetuses human.

Sounds a little extreme, but...

As to causing autism, it is pretty solidly genetic. There are some indications that other things might also, but nothing solid as of yet.

Funny you say that, still so far you preferred to ignore my message below making the point, that your preferred DDT alternative most likely almost doubles the risk for autism with kids!

So your sudden consideration for children seems to be somewhat simulated.

It isn't my favorite, Taro. It is a useful alternative to DDT. Any insecticide, like any antibiotic. can be overused to the point where resistance is developed. Any rational person knows that. The point is not to exclusively rely on one and don't overuse it. "The researchers specifically evaluated risk of autism in relation to exposure to pyrethroids, yes, the same pesticide now being used to carpet bomb Zika-carrying mosquitos. The study shows that exposure of mothers to pyrethroids during the third trimester of pregnancy was associated with an 87% increased risk of autism for their child." Great, right? But no problem wth the greens here :)
