News piece on PFAS contamination by the military. (*)
This is a breakthrough as far as the mainstream media is concerned. There are several things here that have never reached a mass audience:
- The Navy admitting high levels of releases but refusing to test wells;
- MD Health Dept saying they trust the military stating there’s no need to test private wells in St. Mary’s as they have done in hundreds of communities across the country;
- The Navy saying it is not concerned with such small releases in MD when similar levels are sickening people around the world and have made headline news;
- Cancer and other illnesses being linked to the military’s release of PFAS into community water systems;
- The military’s refusal thus far to clean up any of it;
- The military’s refusal to stop using PFAS;
- The existence of contamination world-wide;
- and the Trump administration’s claim of sovereign immunity for the military.
Now, NBC says it will be doing a series.
I think we can and should build on this at US/NATO bases.
