What is vinyl chloride and why is it so toxic?

Earlier this month, a train derailed in East Palestine, a small village located near the border of Ohio and Pennsylvania. The accident caused multiple cars carrying vinyl chloride to spill their contents onto the ground, leading to water and air contamination after a fire broke out. The incident has raised significant environmental and health concerns. To shed light on the issue, Scripps News reporter Chloe Nordquist speaks with Dr. Juliane Beier, an assistant professor of medicine at the University of Pittsburgh, to find out if we are safe from vinyl chloride.

People are being censored on social media for reporting symptoms! Please help us!

My eyes are now emitting x-rays! My child is hovering above the ground!

I hope that the testing for Vinyl chloride includes testing for Phosgene, Benzene, and Dioxin; also, the other chemicals carried in the train cars, as: Butyl acrylate, Ethylhexyl acrylate, and Ethylene Glycol monobutyl ether, as well as any chemicals typically mixed with those, and the forms they may take/turn into when exposed to flame, water, and each other.

I called my local EPA today in Massachusetts, my fish are dead and dying! My dog was having convulsions, I literally taught the EPA about the NOAA Hysplit Model for Particle Cross-Sections. It's all over New England and the medias barely covering it! You can see all the pollution on NOAA's live data! Please report this! I'm calling my local news tomorrow after this poison rain tonight, my friend in Maine and New Hampshire smell it as well! Dead sparrows all over my neighborhood in Northeastern Massachusetts! February 17th 2023! Nearly 2 weeks from the disaster hundreds of miles away! Everyone has the symptoms of exposure! EPA knows nothing! I spent time with their emergency center today, they said thank you and they're looking into it! I don't believe them until the media takes notice!

@Pblanncakthes Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maine friends, and those areas reported to their EPA, and Department of Environmental Management. Check the Boston globe and several other outlets downplaying what our sense and data tell us. The officials are numb since covid they don't react, the one at the emergency air and water EPA in mass did react and looked up the Hysplit charts before they censored them because of how much fear it was causing. That was his first time seeing it. This is a national crisis!

This is invisible fallout

[@beefr0mi105]

So I read the at the CDC had changed the toxology profile of vinyl chloride 2 weeks prior to the derailment. They made it look less lethal and it Haden’s Ben changed for 17 years before that change. Can someone confirm? I’m not sure if this is 100 percent accurate.

Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery. -Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Talents

I might not be able to convince you that the government is no longer of the people or by the people...but I bet you'd believe me if I said it wasn't for the people. Act.

[@Uncommon5en5e]

Hey at least they gave it 1 minute and 29 seconds. I might not be able to convince you that the government is no longer of the people or by the people...but I bet you'd believe me if I said it wasn't for the people. Act.

I have the same reading, the American government doesn't care about its people, they are more interested in creating chaos in other countries.

[@Uncommon5en5e]

What's the best way to get rid of our corporately owned and controlled tyrannical government in the United States and start putting our American resources towards something pivotal for American citizens?"

[@randbarrett8706]

We would have to completely change our system of government if we wanted to see better outcomes. What we currently experience is the best that is possible under our constitutional system.
