Rolling Stone magazine published a comprehensive exposé on June 22 about the continuing high rate of stillborn and neonatal deaths occurring in drilling-heavy Vernal, Utah. The excellent article is titled “What's Killing the Babies of Vernal, Utah? A fracking boomtown, a spike in stillborn deaths and a gusher of unanswered questions.” 

 

DeSmogBlog first published information about this spike in neonatal deaths in a May 16, 2014 article about Donna Young, the Vernal midwife who first brought the problem to the attention of Utah public health officials.

 

Since Young started trying to draw officials' attention to the problem though, Rolling Stonereveals, she has received nasty phone calls, death threats, harassment and even intentional damage to her reputation by medical colleagues. Someone even tried to poison her cattle.
