Public health officials plan clinics to
address concerns over toxic train derailment
in Ohio

We hear you and we support you! Don't you feel better now?

How would anyone feel if what happened in East Palestine, Ohio happened in their town?

The railroad should be forced to buy the homes of all residents who want to leave at the pre disaster market price. If it bankrupts them, so be it.

Where's the mighty FEMA in all this? Trump just says "I'm going there" and the government panics? I'm guessing Norfolk-Southern may be buying themselves a town pretty soon.

"We're from the Government and we're here to help you?"

And after their stellar performance on Covid who is going to believe a word that they say?

Sounds like a Putrid Cake with Dog Stuff Icing. Stop talking about it and PROSECUTE those responsible...CLUE The Railroad and Bureaucraps that did NOTHING! TAKE all of their personal MONEY and make the people Whole!

I hope at some point we can use real science, and facts, and look at what has actually happened. We need to have facts on water supplies. Are they actually contaminated? At toxic levels? Be very aware that when some news report says "XXXXX was detected" in the water, or air, or ground that very well may mean absolutely nothing of significance. Current technology can DETECT at parts per trillion.....where toxic effects of most chemicals kick in at tens or hundreds of parts per million. So, "detected" can still be millions of times below the toxic threshold. These anti-industry, anti-modernity Luddites look for bad events like this to exaggerate the bad effects. This may be much like the huge TV hysteria about the oil blowout in the Gulf of Mexico. Hysterical claims that "the Gulf will be a dead zone for decades" and "all life will die in the Gulf" and such nonesense was pumped out daily. And what actually happened? The naturally occurring bacteria which live in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico and normally live by digesting the oil that has seeped out of cracks on the floor of the seabed for millenia, had a massively increased, but temporary food overabundance. So they did what bacteria do, they increased their numbers and after about 4 or 5 weeks, somehow the oil "just disappeared". Various "experts" were brought in to pontificate. "The oil has sunk to the bottom of the Gulf where it will continue to kill for decades more" was often heard. What antiscientific, fraudulent nonsenese. Oil floats on water, never sinks. But saying that the ecosystem had cleaned itself up by naturally occurring oil-digesting bacteria eating it was counter to "the narrative". We need to carefully and calmly observe what has actually happened in Ohio, and push the political hysteria aside. Almost any chemicals can be eaten by various bacteria, and this is the basis for all industrial wastewater cleanups, which I worked with as a young engineer. Bacteria adapt to whatever food sources occur. First, they are not efficient if it is something entirely novel, as these chemicals very well may be. But, over time, it is reasonable to expect that the pollution will slowly be cleared up by natural processes. We should work to help those processes, and not hinder them. And whatever forms of cleanup, like scooping up reasonable amounts of particularly contaminated soil and incinerating it, should be done. Incineration works because heat breaks down chemicals into their constituent, generally harmless, components. We need cool heads, clear thinking, sensible, scientific methods, and we need to keep the hysterical media and grandstanding politicians out of it. So far, apparently no one has died. That's a good start. Certainly many have been greatly inconvienienced, and lost a lot of money. That needs to be taken care of by the company. This media circus just turns my stomach, and too many allegedly reasonable people seem to love to go with the hysteria.

Public health officials were the stormtroopers of the COVID Blitzcrieg that killed thousands and needlessly destroyed the lives of children. The whole lot of them should be hanged for crimes against humanity. Government and media are the enemy of the people. .
