• Flame retardants contaminating household items

    From Gordon@21:1/5 to All on Sun Nov 10 02:28:36 2024

    It appears to be the case that it is not known what the safe limit is for
    fire retardants in recycled plastic items.

    " Highlights


    FRs specific to electronics were detected in non-electronic household
    items bought in the U.S.

    85% of products with >50 ppm Br contained toxic FRs.

    ∑FR concentrations ranged up to 22,800 mg/kg.

    22,800 mg/kg is 22.8g/kg or 2.28% of the items weight.

    I would suggest that it might be a ggod idea to ban the use of plastics with fire retardants until there is clarity as to whether or not they are safe.
    Items containing polymers used in electronics had significantly higher FR levels.

    As long as those morons are advocating we pump "covid vaccine" poison
    into our bodies (not to mention all the other "vaccines"), it's not
    really possible to pay any attention to their warnings about pretty
    much anything else.

    Fire retardants have nothing to do with covid vaccines and are not
    mentioned; I have not seen any comments from our government about fire retardants, but they do recommend keeping up to date with covid
    vaccines - even if you disagree with many of their policies, most of
    our current government are not morons.

    Why the scare quotes? Vaccines do work. Think of how rampant infectious diseases were, just a century ago or so. Smallpox has been eradicated
    (also rinderpest in cattle), and we are this close to getting rid of
    polio, too.

    Look at what has happened, in our own backyard just within the last few
    years, as a result of lapses in measles vaccination. Those were not happy
    times for those who caught the disease.

    It is improvements in hygiene which has remedied those, not vaccines.
    In almost all cases, the vaccines were introduced only after the
    diseases had already decreased by ~95%.

    Smallpox has been eradicated (also rinderpest in cattle),

    I'll grant you that.

    and we are this close to getting rid of polio, too.

    Pretty darn unlikely, as the oral polio "vaccine" uses live polio
    virus in its formula, which sometimes causes polio in the recipients
    as well as those near to them.

    That's a bad joke, measles was never so bad, but now that there's a
    vaccine for it, the general population is no longer confronted with it normally, thus the in-built immunity loses its edge, and the public
    becomes *more* susceptible to it than before, and those measles cases
    get worse than before because the herd immunity has diminished.
    Measles is one (of many) diseases where the "vaccine" creates a
    problem far worse than what was before those vaccines.

    Improvements in hygiene help with things like cholera or polio that can
    spread through fecal matter or contaminated water, they don’t help with respiratory diseases.

    By the way, wearing a mask counts as a “hygiene” measure. Have you been doing that?

    Remember the 1918 flu epidemic? Killed more people than the entire
    preceding four years of World War I. So much for your “improvements in hygiene”.

    It is bad. It is far more infectious than Covid-19. Babies have become seriously sick and died from it.

    And there are those diseases which, while mostly mild, can have
    unfortunate effects if the person who catches them happens to be a
    pregnant mother-to-be.

    Is that what you call a doctor that wears a mask? It is basic GP
    protection, and goes with washing hands and sterilising instruments.

    If you are visiting some patients in hospital, you may be required to
    wear a mask - again basic safety measures for everyone.

    It is a bit far away from the initial post in the thread, and this
    article:
    https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0045653524022173

    although if there are unsafe toxins that may harm you, shielding your
    skin and breathing may be appropriate.

    Somebody who was using “hygiene measures” as an excuse to be anti-vaxxer, until I pointed out a “hygiene measure” that they were opposed to
    following as well. That left them no way out without looking stupid.

    Exactly Bill - a very good point. See here for example for some of the
    issues considered : https://info.health.nz/conditions-treatments/infectious-diseases/covid-19/face-masks

    Measurements of the ability of a mask to stop transmission of disease
    depends on quite a few issues - scientific testing has been used to
    measure efficacy for a range of illnesses and situations.
