“Controlled” release burn 🔥 is a weird kind of corporate doublespeak. This will hurt millions of people in OH/PA for years to come. But hey—at least @nscorp did a $10 bil stock buyback to pump their shares instead of upgrading 🚊brakes. #OhioChernobyl
It wasn’t just Vinyl Chloride. There were several other toxic chemicals. See thread 🧵— we didn’t need to sacrifice the town to reopen the railroad so quickly damnit.
3) Someone should legally burn 🔥 for this— @nscorp executives and lobbyists.
4) I wrote a summary of the Ohio train disaster situation: (free to subscribe)

📍Ohio’s “Chernobyl” was entirely preventable—but now we have an environmental disaster

NEW TOXINS IDENTIFIED—“We basically nuked a town with chemicals so we could get a railroad open,” said Sil Caggiano, a hazardous materials specialist. Rail company Norfolk Southern is paying just $25k to the town, or ~$5 per resident.🧵

2) DRINKING WATER now endangered. East Palestine police in Ohio is warning that drinking water may be "at-risk" for some people.

A task group is going door-to-door to test water.

3) Yesterday I advocated potentially warning and advising everyone within 50 mile radius to be on high alert after the vinyl chloride rail spill. Here is 50 miles… it includes all the way to Pittsburgh!

Gosh—Thousands of gallons of carcinogenic vinyl chloride has spilled and burned in Ohio from a 50-train car derailment. Nobody in the media is talking much about it. I wouldn’t move back to the town or that area for a while if I were living near there. fastcompany.com/90848025/ohio-…
2) the local govt often downplays these risks and tells people it’s safe to go back. It’s not. @dennismhogan shares the story of his father being told its safe to do ground zero cleanup of another spill.:: except he died relatively soon at age 55 of cancer after he worked there.
3) And now the @EPA says it’s safe to return?
@EPAMichaelRegan needs to reassess and think again. It’s not safe in East Palestine Ohio yet. Read this:

OMG—When the MRI machine was turned on, the magnetic 🧲 force pulled his gun from his waistband & it discharged—the bullet struck him in the abdomen—killing him. He was an advocate of gun ownership and encouraged people on TikTok/Instagram to collect guns.

2) de Novaes had accompanied his mother to get an MRI scan at a facility in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on Jan. 16, and took a handgun into the room, carrying it in his waistband.
According to officials, both the attorney and his mother were told to remove any metal object they had before… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
3) to stop an bad MRI with a gun, we clearly need a good MRI with a gun. Right, right?

DON’T RECOMMEND USING THIS—the #COVID antiviral #molnupiravir is basically a genetic🧬 grenade that kills viruses but also spawns new mutant variants—new study finds mutant SARS2 coronaviruses SURVIVE & COMPETE! Dr @WmHaseltine: “WE ARE COURTING DISASTER”.
science.org/content/articl…
2) A widely used COVID-19 drug may be driving the appearance of new SARS-CoV-2 variants, sparking concerns it could prolong and even reinvigorate the pandemic. The drug, molnupiravir, produced by Merck & Co., is designed to kill the virus by inducing mutations in the viral genome
3) A survey of viral genomes reported in a new preprint, however, suggests some people treated generate novel viruses that not only remain viable, but spread.
“It’s clear that viable mutant viruses can survive [molnupiravir] & compete [with existing variants],” says @WmHaseltine

"It's over"... except the virus doesn’t care what we think, only what we do about it.

Hope everyone learns ventilation & air disinfection & importance of high quality masks. Vaccines currently are the insurance backup.

#CovidIsNotOver #COVIDIsAirborne
2) Do you want to develop #LongCovid? Do you want to acquire a new autoimmune disease? I wouldn’t want any of these conditions. Don’t play COVID infection roulette.
3) it’s not just me reminding you how much COVID is risky. US @federalreserve chair Powell also warns about labor workforce damage from COVID.

⚠️NEW ONSET AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE—New study in 640k patients shows that #SARSCoV2 infection leads to ⬆️43% increased risk of developing **new-onset autoimmune diseases** after acute #COVID19 over. Another autoimmune disorder also exacerbated ⬆️23%. Not good!
medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
2) Also, the new onset autoimmune diseases risk is seen in both women and men; young and old, and notably both hospitalized and NON-HOSPITALIZED #COVID19 patients. Ergo— it’s not just a problem in formerly severe patients.
3) Whoa — ⬆️ 55% higher risk of developing new onset Celiac disease after #COVID19 infection?! Wowzers.
