Kirk here reporting on a group of doctors that held a press conference to criticize the recent Supreme Court decision not to hear an appeal by persons seeking certification as Minamata disease patients. Their critique (as summarized in the news story) is that the idea the court sited that “we can’t be sure what caused the symptoms” ignores research on Minamata disease that has accummulated over the decades. For my summary of the Supreme Court’s rejection of the plea, see the following post: https://www.facebook.com/Kumamotoi/posts/7050309825042389
