"They knew it was in everyone's blood": The 3M PFAS forever chemical settlement

[@itsmelaura1533]

The judge gave 3M until 2025 to stop poisoning our drinking water! THAT is astounding! This explains why, in my 20s, I only knew 3 people with cancer, non were relatives but related to my friends. Now my grandmother, grandfather, mother, father, aunt, sister, daughter, plus far too many friends and their relatives to name here, have all had cancer or died of cancer!

@@brendajettjohnson5150M is a corporation. Corporations are not liberal or conservative. They are capitalist and in it for the money. Some like Nike may try to project an image but underneath they are all about the money. 3M has never been very public about their image and don't have commercials that I remember. If you look up political donations, last year they donated a bit more than twice as much to republicans as democrats. For last presidential they donated only about 12k more to republican than to democrats so pretty even. Edit: as for lobbyists, I don't know. But republicans generally work on lessening regulations and democrats on adding regulations.

In 1984 I moved into my first apartment in Florida with my 2 yr old son. It is one of the hot spot areas with many reported cancers. This video is the first time I've heard anything about the connection to "auto-immune disease", as my now 41 yr old son suffers from advanced Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis. With no family history of MS. Oh but that's not all, when we lived in our first apartment my son at 2 ys old became very ill, he was severally anemic, that ended up being a symptom of the disease he was diagnosed with in 1985, Idiopathic Pulmonary Hemosiderosis. I was told by the doctor's that this was not a genetic disease but environmental. I can't even put into words the suffering we went through in 1985 and then again in 2018 with the MS diagnosis. I am the caregiver for my son and witness to his slow death, because that's what this is. It's beyond heartbreaking. Warrior Mom.

In grotesque injustice, 3M is being made a scapegoat for pollution shared in by countless other companies and organizations - probably intentionally. To try to additionally use them as a scapegoat for all of the recent deaths, chronic diseases, body damages, etc, caused by the demonic wealthy elite criminals against God and humanity, who intentionally exposed the masses to - and/ or deceived/ coerced them into having their flesh defiled by - bio-weapons, is a likely cover-up, more evil injustice. The same Satanic godless criminals against God and humanity who assaulted the masses with bio-weapons DO have multiple lines by which they are seeking to evilly control (if not de-populate) “the herd” (as they view all human beings “lesser” than themselves). They have been (very likely) actively behind causing various odd killing/diseasing/ hardship/ supply chain disasters (and wars, etc.) Destroying life and people’s means of life/ income, for staying alive and well is their Satan-serving game. Scapegoating, bullying, and severely financially-crippling a fairly independent, innovative, smaller, critical product (including vital, highest quality medical and dental supplies, respirator masks, air filters, and so much more) manufacturing company with such grotesque injustice; and then trying to use (probably also intentionally schemed) media hype propaganda, to additionally scapegoat them/ use them as an attempted cover-up for all of the deaths and damages recently caused by corrupt and evil wealthy criminals against God and humanity and their likewise evil pharmaceutical company and power-abusing political cohorts, etc. is sheer evil. BTW - the same evil sorts behind all of this evil, harm, and gross injustice are also the same ones working the deviously deceptive “green agenda” damages and incapacitation of people being able to survive.

I have lupus, so does my oldest child, and my oldest son has tested positive more than once but he always goes back to normal so they said we need to keep an eye on it. We’ve had a lot of different illnesses around here that just weren’t that common 20 to 30 years ago. Now I’m wondering how much of this chemical has effected us? We now use a good water filter for our drinking water. It supposedly filters out most of contaminants. I hope it’s getting this one also. It’s ridiculous how many ways we are being poisoned!

Just about everything we buy is toxic for us. Even things (sunscreens) sold to us to prevent cancer, purposely contains titanium dioxide to give us cancer (that’s the only reason I can figure they would put it in a sunscreen). It’s also put into most tooth pastes and almost all cosmetics. That’s just one example out of the huge amount of toxic things we buy that is purposely added for us to consume either internally or externally. I’ve even seen shoes with a warning label 65; which means it contains something carcinogenic and is unlawful to sell in California. If shoes can be toxic for us, then I’m quite sure hats, gloves, and you just name it, can also put our health in jeopardy. If we put nothing on our bodies, but plain water, we may have poisoned ourselves with chlorine, fluoride or PFAS (that’s not even considering the many meds and chemicals people add to the water system). I bought an organic body deodorant a few days ago & before using it I decided to check out the safety of the ingredients on the label. The very first ingredient was listed as harmful on the internet. I took it back for a refund. Please don’t send me comments asking what it was and where did I find a list of harmful ingredients, google it, please. There is no accountability in any companies anymore. If there is a good reputable supplement/vitamin company, it gets bought out (under the table) by a pharmaceutical company. They even change the ingredients in the products without notice. Some toxic additives are used in the products and listed as an additive for coloring. Since when do adults care about the color of a vitamin? They insult our intelligence. Oh well! You can be sure our immune systems are working overtime to protect us from getting diseases, but they’re trying their best to destroy our immune systems that God gave us. We are living in some evil times folks! They’re not just trying to cheat us to make more money, THEY’RE TRYING THEIR BEST TO KILL US! You can be sure we’re living in the Last Days of the End Times! There is no doubt about it! It’s right in our face. If you don’t know Jesus and are Rapture ready, you better get ready as soon as possible! Time is running out! The Rapture is imminent! From all the horror described in the last Book of God’s Holy Living Word, you definitely don’t want to be left behind!

How about the pilots spraying us like bugs in the name of geoengineering or climate change. I saw an interview from one pilot who said he is paid $20 per barrel for standard and $50 for the higher grade metals. They retrofit the old planes with spray nozzles and barrels of chemicals. Research geoengineering.

I’m a 16 year breast cancer survivor and found out my cancer was caused by the environment. At that time, I lived in MD that have the highest cases of cancers. Many people live near power plants. I don’t but I suspect that it was from my cat litter box that is loaded with toxic chemicals. No matter if diligently clean the liter box but we breathe in them when cleaning them. I had 3 cats. After learning of my diagnosis, I had to put all of my cats up for adoption. Since then, I have not adopted another cat. I’m ok with dogs. But definitely do be aware that cat litter is dangerous toxins to humans. I moved out of MD as well. The state of NJ has strict guidelines for clean air and water regulations and I’m happy about this.

[@DonthekeyforJ]

Thankyou so much. I didn't know about cat litter.

[@screechingwind114]

I think cleaning supplies have a greater and deadlier impact on your life...Did you have your cats destroyed ? IDLT

[@hopekopasek7604]

Which cat litter was it

[@stacyrosa6672]

Can you please provide a source for your information about cat litter and related toxins? I know that cat waste can be dangerous for pregnant or breastfeeding women because of toxoplasmosis, but I don't believe it has anything to do with kitty litter.

[@carolnolan9439]

I have always had cats but my last two died one from face cancer and one from liver cancer. I have breast and lymph nodes Cancer. In remission. My husband told me no more cats but I have two Desert tortoises. I love them

My brother died along with many of his co-workers because of this poison in the water. They all worked for the San Antonio Water System. There was a very big coverup and autopsy’s were not allowed if living relatives wanted their retirement or any other insurances were to be paid out. They told them it would be paid out immediately if no autopsy was not done. The local news tried to investigate but they were quickly threatened. He died of asphyxia, then fell into a coma. He was determined brain dead. Same thing with six co-workers before his death, and another few after his death. I really do not know that number. We found out that the investigator said it was the drinking water at the plant. Also, chemicals they were working with.

[@peopleplacesandperspective5564]

Condolences to you. ✨Something’s horribly wrong at that water plant for that many deaths to happen.

I first thought you were going to be talking about what is causing so many healthy, young people that are dying. The numbers are very concerning! This is during the past 2 years, after covid, and the numbers are even up 40% more than last year! Young athletes having heart attacks, strokes and neurological problems. This is world wide.

[@barbiewalsh3171]

This conversation hauntingly mimics what we are seeing with vaccine injures. Media silent. Pfizer too big to fall. Whistleblowers coming forward. And of course the thousands of injured individuals. We are in the infancy stages of truly understanding what these MRNA vaccines have done. But clearly this is not novel to big corporations or big Pharma. Yes people are whispering at the water cooler. Brave physicians around the world are writing peer reviewed papers. It’s astonishing to witness the silence. I applaud Dr. John Campbell (KZbin) and others who conduct professional presentations that are data driven. Let’s hope that as time goes on more journalists step forward to share important information. EUA does not guarantee safe & effective.

[@aleyabellydance2]

You know what it is. What was experimental and people were forced to take it in the last 3 years

[@deborahhowerton3410]

I am not a conspiracy theorist. I took 2 covid vaccines and a booster, without any hesitation. I had always been very healthy. My ability to function started to rapidly decline, to the point I could no longer work. No medical doctor was able to help me. Recently the World Health Organization has published data proving the vaccine attaches the brain, nervous system, and circulation. People have no recourse because the pharmaceutical companies were given immunity from prosecution related to any health side effects produced by the vaccine before it was distributed.

Once the public stands together & says no more the WI Fi towers will be switched on. The frequencies will make people drop & mind control tech will turn the rest into zombies. Even the CDC has a guide on an upcoming zombie apocalypse. Don't Google that there will be fake "debunking sites" trying to say it's not true but it is. Stay calm detox & try to move out of the city that's all I can say. Don't tell anyone where you are going & look into how to protect yourself from 5G Too late for me

One of the chemicals he's talking about is more commonly known as C-8 it was used in Scotch guard & ALL products containing teflon.

The municipalities are getting the settlement did the municipalities get sick and die?

[@judithnelson1581]

Organize your own lawsuit for those sick people. Attorney Douglas got a settlement to STOP FURTHER HARM to people now and in the future. That is the 1st priority IMO. And it is likely that Douglas law firm does handle lawsuits for individuals harmed.

It is my understanding that In rural areas these were sold to farmers as fertilizer to spread in their fields. In these areas people have individual wells. It currently costs about $300 to test my well. I filter with Reverse Osmosis but it is unclear if that removes these chemicals

The only blood which does not contain PFOAS is the blood taken by the US Government from soldiers going to the Korean War. Newborn babies are born with PFOAS in their blood in all the years since the Korean War, IN ALL the years, that includes NOW and tomorrow , and ALL the tomorrows. It raises the question of WHO are the stockholders and share holders who are reaping the DuPont and 3M profits ? Names should be published.

[@goldenwellness-4u]

What?, are you kidding me? How is that these companies are allowed to operate knowing they used these chemicals that are a threat to the general population and after these findings you give them a safe pass to stay in business? How can anyone trust these nefarious people? Is beyond me to know that a company committed these crimes at these magnitude and still stay open for business?!! 😢
