Description
Dr. Frank Schnell, a retired toxicologist from the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), part of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, lays out the stunning, infuriating evidence in Modus Operandi: How the EPA and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry Keep Your Fears Alive.
This booklet from the Cornwall Alliance shows how these and other government agencies, supposedly tasked with keeping Americans safe, instead twist language, science, and statistics to generate fears.
Why? Because they know that a public filled with fear will turn over more and more power to them.
Once you’ve read Dr. Schnell’s booklet, you’ll understand exactly “how the public was fooled into believing that the incidence of drinking water-related cases of lead poisoning reached crisis proportions at Flint” when in fact “there were none.”
The result? Millions of dollars wasted on Flint’s water system. Millions of dollars wasted on bottled water. Thousands of parents and children overwhelmed with fear, when in fact there was nothing to fear.
And that story gets told over—about risks, real or imagined or exaggerated, from DDT, Dioxin, lead, mercury, and on and on. The costs mount, and all of us lose.
