MILLOY: Did Obama’s EPA relaunch Tuskegee experiments?

Human trials vainly tried to prove air pollution is deadly Which do you find more shocking: that the Environmental Protection Agency conducts experiments on humans that its own risk assessments would deem potentially lethal, or that it hides the results of those experiments from Congress and the public because they debunk those very same risk assessments?

JunkScience.com recently obtained through the Freedom of Information Act the results of tests conducted on 41 people who were exposed by EPA researchers to high levels of airborne fine particulate matter - soot and dust known as PM2.5. [snip] Just to clarify what Ms. Jackson meant by “sooner than you should,” deaths allegedly caused by PM2.5 are supposed to occur within a day or so of exposure.

Got that? Airborne dust and soot don’t make you sick, they just kill you - virtually upon exposure.

Underscoring this notion are the EPA’s two most recent rules affecting coal-fired power plants... [snip]EPA particulate matter assertions notwithstanding, PM2.5 killed none of the study subjects, and the two experiments that were stopped can likely be explained by causes other than PM2.5.

the EPA, created by our congress, has become an entity all to itself. Kinda like the GSA. We are most certainly in need of a spring-cleaning.

No, the EPA was created by executive order by Richard Nixon in 1970.

No, the EPA was created by executive order by Richard Nixon in 1970.

Another excellent argument for rescinding ALL executive orders that don't address issues too urgent that one cannot wait for Congress to reconvene.

Test subjects for the EPA should be environmentalists.

There is science, and there is bureau-science.

One is conducted by scientists, the other by bureaucrats.

Science follows the data, bureau-science follows the agenda.

‘Nuff said.

Not to worry, based upon this newly discovered information/evidence of malfeasance, obfuscation and outright deception by the EPA, there will be hearings both in the House and Senate (led by Republicans who we can count on to do what is right, especially in an election year and that which would embarass this Neo Commie Regime) widely disseminated thru CSPAN and reported on every evening news program.....

And I will win this week's Powerball. Believe it!!!

The EPA needs to be disbanded. It is detrimental to American business, our economy and our way of life.
The fact that the EPA conduced experiments that they though might have lethal consequences on the 41 test subjects and they killed someone in the process is criminal.
Joseph Mengele would be proud of them.
