Official Government Lies Regarding Health

Yesterday (April 24, 2008), a New York Daily News editorial (page 40) offered this commentary:

"A Federal Appeals Court has ruled that former Environmental Protection Agency Chief Christie Whitman cannot be held liable for issuing patently false assurances that the poisoned air around Ground Zero was safe to breathe after 9/11.

So, more than seven years after failing to warn rescue and recovery workers, she has beaten the rap...the judges acknowledged evidence that White House officials directed Whitman to avoid warning the public about air-quality hazards--as well as evidence that her aides were aware of the perils.

The failure by the U.S. government to come through for citizens from across the country who stepped up in a crisis and were hurt is what truly shocks the conscience."

Two days after 9/11/2001, the Notmilk letter warned:

"The World Trade Center was the last major construction job in the United States to use blow-on asbestos insulation. Crocidolite asbestos fibers are carcinogenic.

If you visit or live in Manhattan, use a face mask. Shower frequently, and after each exposure, send your clothing to a dry cleaner."

Three days after 9/11/2001, the Notmilk letter warned:

"...dust masks do not protect you from asbestos fibers.
...a dust mask does not stop those small particles."

34 months after 9/11/2001 (July 9, 2004) Notmilk reported:

"...more than half of the surviving police and fire department personnel are on disability as a result of lung diseases suffered during the ill-fated post-9/11 asbestos-filled days. Over two thousand police and/or firefighters have filed lawsuits against New York City for lung diseases and cancers which they claim resulted from the fouled New York City air that was supposedly safe to breathe."

When it comes to your own health, be informed. Do not trust the government's opinion which is compromised by political and financial conflicts of interest.
