  1. Previous cancer headline was an anti-jabber honeypot.
    "See cancer rates rising."
    However it ended in 2019. Why now?
    They're normalizing this:

    e2143772-7290-409a-8076-f57c6e29c9ed_1920x1080.jpg

    Prior to 2020, the rise was a scant 13% - easily in the margin of error for that age group. More screening, anyone?
    This rise is WAY higher, but they didn't include that within the article.
    You're being gaslighted.
    See - rates were already rising, ipso facto, not the 'Safe und Effective' untested injectable.

    Translation to ON speech:
    You're a fucking lab rat.

    In the late summer and fall of 2021, the delta variant was the dominate strain of COVID-19 in the U.S.

    Covid-19 delta variant was particularly dangerous to pregnant women, and experts believe it was the main reason for the 2021 spike. Burned-out physicians may have added to the risk by ignoring pregnant women’s worries, some advocates said.

    In 2021, there were about 33 maternal deaths for every 100,000 live births. The last time the government recorded a rate that high was 1964.

    What happened “isn’t that hard to explain,” said Eugene Declercq, a long-time maternal mortality researcher at Boston University. “The surge was Covid-related.”
    Previous government analyses concluded that one-quarter of maternal deaths in 2020 and 2021 were Covid-related — meaning that the entire increase in maternal deaths was due to coronavirus infections or the pandemic’s wider impact on health care. Pregnant women infected with the coronavirus were nearly eight times as likely to die as their uninfected peers, according to a recent study published by BMJ Global Health.

    It didn’t help that vaccination rates among pregnant women were disappointingly low in 2021 — particularly among Black women. Part of that was related to limited vaccine availability, and that the CDC did not fully recommend shots for pregnant women until August 2021...

    The 2021 maternal mortality rate for Black women was nearly three times higher than it was for white women. And the maternal death rate for Hispanic American women that year rose 54% compared with 2020, also surpassing the death rate for white moms.

    Note: Pregnant white women were vaccinated more than pregnant black/hispanic/asian/native american women. Yet, death rate among pregant black/hispanic/asian/native american women was much higher (spiked) in the fall of 2021 in comparison to pregnant white women.

    Before the Pandemic...

    Several studies estimated that Black women experienced more than double the rate of maternal death compared to their white counterparts, and almost triple the rate compared to Hispanics.

    American Indian and Alaska Native women were also at some of the highest risk and experienced the greatest increase over the 20-year study.

    “Maternal mortality persists as a source of worsening disparities in many U.S. states and prevention efforts during this study period appear to have had a limited impact in addressing this health crisis,” the authors wrote in the new analysis.

    A myriad of issues could contribute to the alarming rates, including underlying health conditions people have going into pregnancy.

    It's a form of structural racism. But when we look specifically at why this happened, there are multiple layers to it,” Dr. Jessica Shepherd, chief medical officer at Verywell Health, told ABC News.

    “If you just look at health outcomes in America, you know that most chronic diseases are seen in African American communities and so when you have some of these diseases, namely hypertension, diabetes and obesity, that are present before pregnancy, those are also going to be, what we would say comorbidities, that are going to impact the maternal mortality rate,”.

    Summary of this thread...

    For several decades before the Pandemic, America and many countries had increasingly serious health problems that resulted in increasing cancers, cardiovascular diseases, heart disease, and sudden death.

    Primary reasons are due to rising hypertension, diabetes, obesity, kidney disease in all ethnic groups but more so among minorities. Simply, there are a lot more FAT (unhealthy) people today than several decades ago including Americans drinking more toxic water from the faucet & bottled water.

    The above was discussed here at Elitetrader.com before the Pandemic although typically it's ignored after a few pages of discussions. Those who seem to not understand any health problems/deaths associated tend to be White Americans especially those who do not live in Urban communities.

    Economic and social disparities do have a severe impact on minorities in the healthcare system. It has always been that way long before we were born and will continue to be that way.

    Reminder, lots of discussions in this thread about INCREASING CANCERS. As stated in another thread...there's a direct proven link between our drinking water from the faucet and bottled water.

    I say proven because streets, communities, towns, cities, counties and states have been showing the data linking their "increasing (unusual numbers) of cancers" for several decades and quietly settling lawsuits with businesses poisoning the water by dumping contaminants into the water or/and settling lawsuits with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the FDA.

    Remember this, something I've been talking about for many years long before the Pandemic...almost every American (including children) has these toxic dangerous forever chemicals in their bodies from the water that we drink every day and from the foods stored/mixed with water for many decades that correlate directly with "increasing cancers" and other serious health illnesses/diseases for many decades.

    If you're truly concerned about putting toxins in your body...get a home water filtration system for all the water that comes out of your faucet and then use that water to store your water in stainless steel containers...store in areas of your home that get no sunlight.

    As for our foods...not much we can do about that. Simply, we're fucked.

    It's a scary thought and the reason why most shy away from the reality that every drop of water in America contains cancer-causing chemicals that are scientifically linked to "increasing cancers"...when the water is drunk, shower/bath within without that water being put through a home water filtration system.

    Drinking water of millions of Americans contaminated with ‘forever chemicals’

    Water of about 26 million is contaminated as new data offers the most robust look into exactly which communities are polluted

    Toxic-Drinking-Water-Causing-Increasing-Cancer.png

    Drinking water consumed by millions of Americans from hundreds of communities spread across the United States is contaminated with dangerous levels of toxic chemicals, according to testing data released on Thursday by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

    The data shows that drinking water systems serving small towns to large cities – from tiny Collegeville, Pennsylvania, to Fresno, California – contain measurable levels of so-called “forever chemicals”, a family of durable compounds long used in a variety of commercial products but that are now known to be harmful.


    The water of as many as 26 million Americans is contaminated, according to an analysis of the new EPA data performed by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), a Washington DC-based non-profit.

    Studies have linked the chemicals to cancers, immunodeficiencies, reproductive harms and developmental effects in children.

    Scientists and environmental advocates have increasingly warned about the harms of chemicals like perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) in recent decades, leading to an agreement between the EPA and chemical manufacturers such as DuPont and 3M to phase out PFOA by 2015.

    However, lasting pollution of the environment and human bodies with forever chemicals continues.

    Studies show nearly all Americans have some level of PFOA, PFOS, and similar chemicals, scientifically known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), circulating in their bodies.

    Additional analyses calculate that hundreds of millions of Americans are probably exposed through drinking water contamination.

    But, the EPA’s testing program, part of a 27-year-old effort to sample the nation’s drinking water for unregulated chemicals, offers the most robust look into exactly which communities are polluted. The data released on Thursday is the first round of a program that will test most US water systems serving more than 3,300 Americans for 29 different forever chemicals, along with the metal lithium, over the next three years.

    This first batch, which analyzed data from about 2,000 systems across the country, already spells trouble.

    According to the data, 220 water systems found some level of PFOA, PFOS, or both chemicals in their drinking water. That means about one in 10 drinking water systems contain the two most notoriously dangerous forever chemicals.

    When including all 29 forever chemicals, the data confirms that the drinking water of approximately 26 million Americans is contaminated, according to the EWG non-profit. The data is also “consistent” with a 2020 study from the group that calculated more than 200 million Americans could have some form of PFAS in their drinking water.

    “This data confirms that PFAS is a pervasive problem, and it’s going to be a massive challenge for all of these water systems to deliver safe and clean water,” said John Reeder, vice-president for federal affairs at EWG.

    The EPA says the testing program is part of a holistic effort to address forever chemicals. In March, the agency proposed new regulations to limit PFOA, PFOS and several other sister chemicals in drinking water. That followed updates to the agency’s scientific findings in recent years dramatically lowering the amount of the chemicals considered safe in drinking water.

    In a press release, agency officials said the new monitoring data will further help inform what actions to take to protect drinking water.

    “PFAS are an urgent public health issue facing people and communities across the nation. The latest science is clear: exposure to certain PFAS, also known as forever chemicals, over long periods of time is linked to significant health risks,” Radhika Fox, EPA assistant administrator for water, said in the release. “EPA is conducting the most comprehensive monitoring effort for PFAS ever, at every large and midsize public water system in America, and at hundreds of small water systems.”

    But the road ahead remains perilous, says Tracy Carluccio, deputy director of the Delaware Riverkeeper Network, a Pennsylvania-based environmental non-profit that has pressed state regulators and the EPA for nearly two decades to take decisive action on PFAS.

    Communities are at the most risk and are not talked about enough...Urban communities still use lead piping for drinking water by their residents.

    What harm does "lead poisoning" in our water supply do to children ?

    Lead-Poison-Children-Health-Problems.png

    The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has determined that lead and lead compounds are reasonably anticipated to be human carcinogens (causing cancer in people). The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has classified lead as a probable human carcinogen.

    President Biden has been replacing the lead pipes in Urban communities first before expanding to replacing the lead pipes in suburbs and then rural communities in America.

    Republicans fought like hell to stop the "lead pipe replacement" because it was included in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law that invested over $50 billion for the largest upgrade to the nation’s water infrastructure in history.

    https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing...on-to-protect-communities-from-lead-exposure/

    In contrast, in the last few days of former President Trump...one of his last executive orders before leaving the Oval Office...he killed the "lead pipe replacement" bill. Some suspected he was angry at Americans for causing him to lose the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election.

    Republicans believe it's the responsibility of the homeowners to replace the lead piping in their home and Republicans believe it is NOT the government's responsibility to replace the lead piping system before it reaches the American consumer...

    Biden Administration believes it is the government's responsibility to replace the lead piping before the water reaches the homes/apartments/condos before it reaches the American consumer including making the home water filtration system...affordable (not expensive).

    Very likely getting some cancers from water, food, etc... but doesn't explain the recent surge in cancers. We didn't suddenly start drinking more poisonous water or food.
