I wish we could objectively say  you were right to call it hyperbole. That would be endlessly relieving. Unfortunately, to claim so either lacks imagination, cognition, or it is disingenuous. There are some serious unmitigated risk factors at large here. We've already seen the inevitable results play out, it's really something.

Great stuff like: "October 8, 2015 – Pregnant women who live near active fracking operations in Pennsylvania were at a 40 percent increased risk of giving birth prematurely and at a 30 percent 
increased risk for having obstetrician-labeled high-risk pregnancies, according to a study by Johns Hopkins Bloomberg school of Public Health and other researchers."

It gets worse.
