They’ve known for many decades that these pesticides cause cancer, not just in the farmers that have to deal with them directly, but in the people who eat the produce.

The government doesn’t care about your health.

They say they do when they are trying to ban you from smoking or trying to force you to take experimental gene therapies, but they do not care about your health. They will give you cancer on purpose. They will give themselves cancer if it means they can make a few bucks off donations from these chemical manufacturers.

The Guardian:

Pesticide company efforts to push through laws that could block litigation against them is igniting battles in several US farm states and pitting some farm groups against each other.

Laws have been introduced in at least eight states so far and drafts are circulating in more than 20 states, backed by a deluge of advertising supporting the measures.

The fight is particularly fierce now in Iowa, where opponents call the pesticide-backed proposed law the “Cancer Gag Act”, due to high levels of cancer in Iowa that many fear are linked to the state’s large agricultural use of pesticides. Iowa has the second-highest rate of new cancer cases in the United States and the fastest growing rate.

The bill would bar people from suing pesticide manufacturers for failing to warn them of health risks, as long as the product labels are approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Organizers against the Iowa bill are planning a rally at the state capitol today after the state senate voted last week to advance the measure.

Opponents say the legislation will rob farmers and others who use pesticides from holding companies accountable in court if their pesticide products cause disease or injury.

“We’re very worried. Our farmers feel that if they have injuries or illnesses due to their use of a pesticide they should have access to the courts,” said Aaron Lehman, an Iowa corn and soybean farmer who is president of the Iowa Farmers Union. “We just don’t think the playing field should be tilted.”

…

The actions in the states come alongside a simultaneous push for changes in federal law that would in effect shield companies from lawsuits brought by people claiming they developed cancers or other diseases due to their use of pesticides.

Bayer, the Germany-based owner of the former Monsanto Co, is the chief architect of the strategy, designed as a means to beat back thousands of lawsuits filed by farmers and others who blame their use of Monsanto’s Roundup herbicides for causing them to develop cancer.

The litigation has so far cost Bayer billions of dollars in settlements and jury verdicts favoring plaintiffs, and more cases are pending. The company says the pursuit of the legislative changes is necessary to protect its “important investments” and to ensure farmers don’t lose access to Roundup.

Hopefully RFK can get involved in this.

He’s the only man in America that can do that job.

There have been some settlements recently that indicated there could be some changes.

But there are never really any changes, are there?

Companies pay out some tiny fraction of their profits to a few of the people whose lives they’ve destroyed, and it just keeps on going.

In 2019, Trump’s campaign sold red, reusable plastic straws branded with his name. The product’s description stated: “Liberal paper straws don’t work. STAND WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP and buy your pack of recyclable straws today.” The straws were sold in packs of 10 for $15, and the initiative reportedly raised nearly $500,000.

I’m the number one anti-plastic guy, but I am also, frankly, an anti-straw guy. I don’t use straws and I think it’s gay.

But you know, occasionally, I get some kind of juice drink at the hippie cafe, and you really have to drink those with a straw, and these people straws are intolerable.

I thought it was a joke, but it’s true…the Trump campaign is selling plastic straws.

What’s more, these paper straws are filled with much worse toxins than the plastic ones, and those toxins are much more likely to enter your body, because of the way paper straws dissolve in your mouth.

This isn’t some secret. Paper straws contain huge amounts of PFAS, that go into your drink and into your body.

The hippie places I go to use stainless steel straws now, because anyone who isn’t some braindead global warming zombie is aware of the threat of so-called “paper straws.” And again, I don’t use them often.

But this whole “lets get rid of plastic straws to solve the plastic problem” was always the gayest and most retarded idea. People are now drinking from plastic bottles with paper straws. How much more plastic is in the bottle than in the straw? 50 times?

Why not ban the plastic bottles? Up through the 1980s, water and other beverages came in glass bottles, the way beer and expensive water still does. Why not start with getting rid of the plastic bottle? Why not get rid of the plastic lining in coffee cups (which used to be wax) and now prevents any health conscious person from taking takeout coffee (unless they buy one of those $40 Starbucks reusable stainless steel mugs, and then remember to carry it around)? The reason is that they don’t actually care, and paper straws are just some weird humiliation ritual.

Get them out.

It was unorthodox to do the Senate hearings and then not make a decision on RFK’s nomination.

But it is looking like he might be able to pull it off.

He should have just answered every question with “I believe Israel has a right to defend itself.”

AP:

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a vocal vaccine skeptic and activist lawyer, appeared on track to become the nation’s health secretary after winning the crucial support of Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy, a doctor who says Kennedy has assured him he would not topple the nation’s childhood vaccination program.

In a starkly partisan vote, the Republican-controlled Senate Finance Committee advanced Kennedy’s nomination 14-13, sending his bid to oversee the $1.7 trillion U.S. Health and Human Services agency for a full vote on the Senate floor.

All Democrats on the committee opposed Kennedy, whose family name had been synonymous with their party for generations before he aligned with President Donald Trump during the 2024 presidential campaign. They sounded an alarm on Kennedy’s work to sow doubt around vaccine safety and his potential to profit off lawsuits over drugmakers.

Remember that the Democrats let Marco Rubio sail through like a cool breeze on a summer afternoon.

The vote was 99-0. Every Democrat voted for him.

Kennedy can’t get one.

A full Senate vote has not yet been scheduled, but with Cassidy’s vote no longer in doubt Kennedy’s nomination is likely to succeed absent any last-minute vote switches. Kennedy has been among the more contentious of Trump’s Cabinet choices, and Republicans coalescing around him showed another powerful measure of near lockstep allegiance to the president.

Cassidy said in a speech later on the Senate floor that, in exchange for his support, Kennedy has promised not to make changes to existing vaccine recommendations that have been made by a federal advisory committee and has agreed not to scrub the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of statements that clarify vaccines do not cause autism. In addition, Cassidy said Kennedy will consult with him on new hires for the agency and appear if asked quarterly before the Senate’s health committee, which Cassidy chairs. A 30-day notice will be sent to the committee if Kennedy seeks to make changes federal vaccine safety monitoring programs.

“He will be the secretary,” Cassidy said. “But I believe he will also be a partner in working for this end.”

The entire US government is completely controlled by private interests. It is the most corrupt government ever in human history.

The only reason Republicans will vote for Trump’s picks is that he threatens them. He also vows to help them with their own agendas in support of private interests.

Plus they’re all afraid of looking pro-vax after that whole coronavirus debacle everyone hated.

The EU is a complete and total shithole, for sure.

However, on many different issues, they are not as extreme as the US.

They will poison you, but if you complain about it long enough, they will say “you right, you right, we should cut this back a bit.”

Reuters:

The European Commission intends to propose a ban on the use of PFAS, or “forever chemicals”, in consumer products, with exemptions for essential industrial uses, the EU’s environment chief told Reuters.

PFAS, or Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances, do not break down in the environment, raising concerns about the consequences of them building up in ecosystems, drinking water and the human body.

They are used in thousands of items, from cosmetics and non-stick pans to aircraft and wind turbines, due to their resistance to extreme temperatures and corrosion.

“What we know we are looking for is a ban in consumer products,” EU Environment Commissioner Jessika Roswall told Reuters in an interview.

“This is something that is important for us human beings, of course, but also for the environment, but I think also for the industry so they know how they can phase out PFAS.”

…

Research linking PFAS exposure to health issues – including liver damage, lower birth weights and testicular cancer – is raising litigation risks for companies, Jefferies analysts said in a note this month.

…

Companies in Europe could face a “wave” of litigation over pollution or downplaying its environmental and health harms, said Hélène Duguy, a lawyer at environmental law firm ClientEarth.

No one in America will explain why these companies are allowed to just totally pollute the entire environment. These poisons actually go onto the property of other people, meaning you are violating the “non-aggression principle” that the supporters of mega-corporations always talk about.

In America, if anyone talks about this issue of poisoning everyone, the media and government will totally reroute the conversation into goofy hoaxes about global warming. That is the only form of “environmentalism” left in the US – the word is now synonymous with “global warming hoaxery.”

Total sham and it’s embarrassing that Americans are stupid enough to go along with it.

Who even wants a “smart watch”?

Don’t men care about their dignity anymore?

A watch used to be a key symbol of masculinity.

The Guardian:

Smartwatch and fitness tracker bands can contain high levels of toxic PFAS “forever chemicals” that are absorbed through the skin, presenting a potentially “major” exposure to the dangerous substance, new US research finds.

The University of Notre Dame study checked for PFAS, or markers of the chemicals, in 22 common brands. It detected them in 15, and at levels much higher than typically found in consumer goods and clothing.

Though the rate at which PFAS moves through the skin is unclear, research has found it is absorbed, and the findings are “concerning” because the bands are pressed against wrists for prolonged periods of time, said Graham Peaslee, a Notre Dame researcher and co-author of the study.

…

Though the study doesn’t note which brands tested positive for PFAS, it notes it tested watches from Nike, Apple, Fitbit and Google.

Some of the brands advertise that they use PFAS in the bands – the term “fluoroelastomer band” indicates their use. However, not all advertise the chemicals’ use. Those that include PFAS were as much as $50 more than those that did not, Peaslee said.

“It’s pretty clear that they are charging extra for all this beautiful PFAS,” he said.

…

Researchers also found PFOA, a compound that the EPA has found virtually no level of exposure in drinking water is safe.

Everything is poisonous and the government doesn’t care.

But they will force you to take vaccines and stop smoking. And they’ll lock you in your house over a virus hoax.

Everyone already knew this.

CNN:

Chemicals found in sewage sludge that some farmers use to fertilize fields and pastures can pose a threat to human and animal health, the US Environmental Protection Agency said Tuesday.

Exposure to food from farms that use the sewage sludge can raise a person’s risk of developing cancer or other health conditions, it said. Under certain conditions, the human health risks from sludge used on farms are “several orders of magnitude” above what the EPA considers acceptable, the agency said.

While the EPA said Tuesday that the general food supply is not at risk, these “forever chemicals,” as they are sometimes called, can pose a threat to the health of people who drink a lot of milk or eat beef from farms that use the sludge.

The specific chemicals, perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), belong to a larger class of per- and polyfluoroalkyl compounds (PFAS) and are considered “forever chemicals” because they take such a long time to break down in the environment and in the human body.

Examples of people most at risk are those who eat a serving or two of fish a week from a lake or pond contaminated by farm runoff, or people who drink at least a quart of milk a day from cows raised on pastures that use sewage sludge, according to the EPA’s draft risk assessment. People who eat pasture-raised beef or eggs from hens raised on land contaminated by sewage sludge could also be at risk.

…

Sewage sludge has been used by some farmers for years. It is plentiful — wastewater treatment plants produce millions of tons of it — but the EPA said that less than 1% of fertilized acreage of productive agriculture land in the US uses it. Although 1% may not sound like a lot of farms, the Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit that has been advocating for the government to better regulate PFAS for decades, said that accounts for tens of millions of acres of farm fields across the country.

“It’s quite shocking in terms of the extent that these chemicals are leading to all this downstream contamination,” said Dr. David Andrews, EWG’s acting chief science officer. “The report highlights the incredible cyclic nature of PFAS contamination.”

Among the things it is maybe safe to hope for with the incoming Trump administration is the hope that RFL Jr. might be able to address some of the pollution issues in America.

I mean. It’s not that safe to hope for that. Because it probably won’t happen.

But it’s more likely to happen than say, ending these wars.

What kind of government forces people to be exposed to these chemicals against their will?

Why are these companies that produce these chemicals allowed to put them in the ground water, and thereby put them onto other people’s property, and into their bodies?

Isn’t there some kind of libertarian argument against allowing these companies to do this to the population?

The Guardian:

Early life exposure to toxic PFAS “forever chemicals” could impact economic success in adulthood, new first-of-its-kind research suggests.

The Iowa State University and US Census Bureau working paper compared the earnings, college graduation rates, and birth weights of two groups of children – those raised around military installations that had firefighting training areas, and those who lived near bases with no fire training site.

The military began using PFAS-laden firefighting foam in the early 1970s, which frequently contaminated the drinking water supplies in and around bases.

Those who lived in regions with firefighting training areas earned about 1.7% on average less later in life, and showed a graduation rate about 1% lower. Those born between 1981-1988 earned about $1bn less in today’s earnings, or about $1,000 a person on average, compared to those who did not live near the firefighting training sites.

The data also shows lower birth weights among the population – a factor linked to lower economic success later in life.

The findings “highlight the importance of careful scrutiny of novel chemicals”, said Irene Jacz, a study co-author and Iowa State economist.

…

PFAS have been linked to a range of developmental disabilities, including lower birth weight. Many of the chemicals are thought to be neurotoxicants, while early exposure has also been associated with mental health issues later in life, like ADHD.

…

“This study can be seen as a cautionary tale – using chemicals with unknown health risks can have reverberating impacts not fully observed for decades,” the authors wrote.

Of course it lowers all of your outcomes. These chemicals affect the hormone system, which can cause all types of neurological disorders, and make people into obese freaks.

Who is allowing this? Why is it allowed?

When the government was trying to force vaccinate me, I was told that they cared most about my health, and that is why they were going to forcibly inject me with a deadly vax.

The government cares a lot about your health.

If they didn’t, they wouldn’t force you to take vaccines to prevent the most deadly flu ever, would they?

The Guardian:

A coalition of environmental groups has sued the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) over the use of highly toxic phthalates in plastic food packaging because the chemicals have been found to leach at alarming rates and present a serious health risk, especially for developing children.

The suit is the latest salvo in an ongoing eight-year battle in which advocates have pressured the FDA to ban the chemicals’ use in food packaging, but the agency has sided with industry that opposes the calls. Since 2016, the FDA has either illegally ignored petitions or rejected demands to revoke a 40-year-old authorization for the chemicals that is based on long-outdated science.

The health groups in a statement called the FDA’s refusal to restrict the chemicals “unconscionable”.

“The FDA is knowingly putting millions of people in the US at risk of life-altering health problems by continuing to greenlight uses of phthalates that contaminate our food,” said Katherine O’Brien, an attorney with Earthjustice, one of the suit’s lead plaintiffs. “FDA’s decision defies decades of science and the agency’s core purpose of keeping the food supply safe.”

The FDA did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Phthalates are a class of nearly 30 chemicals used as plasticizers in plastic containers, kitchen utensils and food preparation materials, among other uses. Researchers have found them in most food samples tested in recent years, and very low levels of exposure are linked to birth defects and pre-term birth. They are thought to cause developmental harms for fetuses and children, especially the reproductive system and brain – kids who have been exposed risk reduced IQ, and boys risk genital defects and infertility.

Phthalates are also particularly dangerous because they have been found to mimic the human body’s hormones.

Wait for the media to have a meltdown about how phthalates are actually healthy when RFK tries to ban them.

What is the argument against RFK’s agenda?

Given the situation?

Do people like diseases?

Is the left pro-disease?

The Guardian:

Americans spend more time living with diseases than people from other countries, according to a new study.

On Wednesday, the American Medical Association published its latest findings, revealing that Americans live with diseases for an average of 12.4 years. Mental and substance-use disorders, as well as musculoskeletal diseases, are main contributors to the years lived with disability in the US, per the study.

Women in the US exhibited a 2.6-year higher so-called healthspan-lifespan gap (representing the number of years spent sick) than men, increasing from 12.2 to 13.7 years or 32% beyond the global mean for women.

The latest overall healthspan-lifespan gap in the US marks an increase from 10.9 years in 2000 to 12.4 years in 2024, resulting in a 29% higher gap than the global mean.

The head of Smuckers, whose name is Smucker, came out and condemned RFK’s healthy agenda, and said that “snacking will continue.”

I just really hope that after an insurance company CEO was assassinated, no relatives of obese people decide to start assassinating the heads of these poison food companies.

What is the correlation between being obese and diseased and being an Israel-lover?

When he was president the first time, Trump blocked the ban of various poisonous chemicals.

The hope is that with RFK involved this time around, he’s going to ban various poisonous chemicals.

The Guardian:

The US Environmental Protection Agency has banned perc and TCE, toxic chemicals that are widely used in everyday products but strongly linked to cancer and other serious health problems.

The move comes after the first Donald Trump administration killed the process to limit the chemicals’ uses, but the bans make it difficult for the second Trump administration to undo the rules.

The chemicals are commonly used in dry cleaning, carpet cleaning, hoof polishes, brake cleaners, adhesives, pepper spray and lubricants.

…

TCE, or trichloroethylene, is linked to male reproductive damage, liver disease, kidney disease, neurological damage and Parkinson’s disease. It has particularly been a problem for those living near air force bases or civilian airports because it is widely employed as an industrial degreaser.

The chemical can percolate into groundwater used as drinking water sources, and officials suspect TCE water contamination is behind multiple cancer clusters, and sickening and killing service members at bases across the US. Many areas with TCE contamination are designated Superfund sites, which is reserved for the nation’s most polluted locations. The EPA found TCE presents an “unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment” in 52 of 54 uses in industrial and consumer products.

…

Perc, or perchloroethylene, is linked to similar health problems, including kidney disease, liver damage, memory loss and decreased immune function. It’s also thought to cause liver, kidney, brain and testicular cancers.

Perc is also used as a degreasing, lubricant and adhesive agent in manufacturing, and has also been widely found in drinking water. It can also emit a gas through soil that poisons the air inside buildings above it.

Why are any of these chemicals allowed in drinking water?

Are not these corporations engaged in a violation of the non-aggression principle?

Did anyone ever ask a libertarian about that?
