That's both fascinating and horrifying. While there seem many problems with Thomas Kuhn's theory of scientific revolutions as a general theory, this looks like a case study of when it happens. Also, I wonder if the reluctance to look at poisoning, like the reluctance to examine the "rat park" theory of drug addiction isn't in part because in both cases, the solution isn't medical, it's actually working to change society so far fewer (ideally 0) people live horrid and poisoned lives.
