Eerily, Rachel Carson specifically warned of endocrine disruptors in her book. A chemist, she cautioned about the highly sensitive hormonal balance controlled by the liver, and easily disrupted by toxins.

Add to the list vaccine adjutants -- ethylmercury in thimerosal crosses the blood-brain barrier, too.

Thank you for a clear and compelling article on this terrible problem. We need to let our legislators know about the hazard of immunity from liability that pesticide manufacturers are going after!

This is such a timely article. Just yesterday I noticed a landscaping truck with the big tank on the back parked outside our neighborhood school. I pulled up to the guy and asked him where and what he was spraying. Looking a little guilty, he said, around the yard and Roundup Pro. My heart sank. I don't have kids but I know plenty of kids in that school, and I walk my dog there. I just said. I hope he's in good health. I was just so shaken. I couldn't think of anything more constructive to say. It has been on my mind ever since.

I appreciate this article so much and came away with a few constructive ideas of how to approach my local authorities.

Thank you so much...Kathleen

It isn't just the EPA. USDA just deregulated a Bayern made GMO corn. These seeds with the built in pesticides have been around for decades. A study finally came out recently where they found glyphosate in store bought chicken and eggs from chicken feed.

I get the feeling that the heads of the EPA and USDA aren’t on the MAHA train!

The FDA did approve 2 GMO salmon farms and GMO pork for sale in the USA this year as well. 1 salmon farm for use in restaurants and the other for sale in stores. What can you say.

I saved this from August how the MAHA commission succumbed to pesticide industry pressure! https://gmwatch.org/en/106-news/latest-news/20587

Thank you, Kelly Ryerson, for telling it like it is (unfortunately), from a parent's perspective-- where poisons are playing a HUGE & DAMAGING part on children growing up healthy-- or not! It is STILL obvious by now that hese poisons in particular/particulate under the 'Pesticide' category are dangerous to human life too. There effects -- Cancerous Lymphoma, sexually irregular anatomical development in young girls (a new horror just learned!), asthmatic conditions, and direct poisoning by ingestion, and who/W.H.O. knows what else, are more than enough evidence-- common sense or real science, to put a FULL STOP to their use‼️ Poisoning for Profits by CorPirates like Monster Monsanto (poster child in the Pesticide industry for child killing!!), MUST BE PUT TO AN COMPLETE END. This IS silently genocidal-- and none too silent at that....
