Het artikel uit augustus 2015 stelt ook letterlijk dezelfde vraag:
Due to the controversial nature of these disturbing findings, the study's authors were quick to denounce any extrapolation in humans. It would be politically incorrect, after all, to suggest that homosexuality in humans might possibly be linked to chemical exposures that alter natural hormone production and expression, particularly in males.
But mercury is a known endocrine disruptor, and Frederick did admit to National Geographic that exposure to it during early development may have lasting consequences on endocrine function. If the same effects occur in humans, in other words, this would mean that childhood vaccines containing mercury are just as detrimental to human babies and toddlers as mercury in contaminated food is to ibises living in the Florida Everglades.
