1/ A CAUTIONARY TALE: In the 70s the UK Govt introduced Organophosphates (OPs) as miracle new dip to kill blowfly, mites, lice, ticks etc on sheep without damaging aquatic life. Then through the 80s they made it compulsory for British farmers to dip their sheep with this twice…
2/ a year. It was deemed totally safe and thus had very little precautionary advice on the bottles. But through the 80s & into the 90s a huge number of farmers became ill. From being some of the most resilient in the work force many were bed-ridden.They weren’t believed..
3/ as they looked fine. It turned out that this wonder chemical was actually found to have a devastating impact on the central nervous system of humans if they were sufficiently exposed to it. Eventually 100s of farmers formed a class action law suit. The Govt…
4/ and the chemical company involved quickly got to work covering their tracks. The UK Government now said it wasn’t compulsory to dip with this chemical and the chemical company added a host of strict safety requirements. The case was thrown out. An appeal was also thrown out…
5/ No one has ever taken responsibility for this travesty of Government mandates & Agro-Chemical wrong-doing. While thousands of farmers have had their health & livelihoods destroyed while being gaslighted by experts. How do I know all this? Bc I used to watch my dad dip sheep…
6/ when I was a boy. He began to be unwell in 1988 and completely crashed in 1991 when I was 10. I watched as he lived in sleepless, despairing agony in a darkened room for the next 8yrs unable to take any medication to help. He slowly managed to recover much of his health…
7/ in the following decade and although he still has neurological issues he is a lot better than he was. Alas many of his fellow OP Dip poisoned friends have died since or are still desperately ill. Why am I telling this story now? Because our Government in this crisis could be..
8/ making a similar mistake but this time on a vast scale. It’s trying to do what it thinks will help: giving a first of its kind wonder vaccine to healthy people, using coercion to get huge uptake & now pushing it on children. The relatively recent OP Dip scandal should make…
9/ …us very wary of this. We must not blindly trust chemical companies’ pronouncements of safety nor blindly comply with Government directives when there is no medium/longterm safety data. #OPDipScandal @RobertBilott @RobertKennedyJr @RWMaloneMD @tattiesfortwo @ScottAnd67
