CDC Updates Profile For Vinyl Chloride Days Before Ohio Train Derailment, And Removes Section On How It Affects Children
Evie ^ | February 16, 2023 | Nicole Dominique

Why did the CDC update its page for vinyl chloride nearly two weeks before the Ohio train derailment? The CDC edited its profile for vinyl chloride just recently, removing a section on how the chemical affects children.

On February 3, a Norfolk Southern Railroad train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, emitting toxic clouds into the air and water supplies. The Environmental Protection Agency has deemed the water "safe to drink" – despite the existing reports of wildlife dying in the affected area.

Now it seems even the CDC is minimizing the effects of the chemicals involved in the crash, one of them being vinyl chloride, a gas used to produce a plastic known as polyvinyl chloride (PVC). According to the National Cancer Institute, vinyl chloride is a carcinogen that has links to different kinds of cancers, including liver, brain, and lung cancers, as well as lymphoma and leukemia.

In January 2023, the toxicological profile for vinyl chloride was revised from the original guidelines published in the Federal Register nearly four decades ago – on April 17, 1987, to be exact. While toxicological profiles are updated occasionally, users are alarmed by the odd timing. The last profile for vinyl chloride was released in 2006, 17 years ago. It's strange that they drafted it again in January 2023, just weeks prior to the catastrophe in East Palestine.

The CDC's website page for vinyl chloride was recently modified as well. An archived version displays a longer, more detailed FAQ page before the changes were made. The screenshot below shows a long list of FAQs with additional information. The profile initially had the following sections: "How can vinyl chloride affect children?" and "Has the federal government made recommendations to protect human health?" – but both have since been removed.

Or they falsified the date that they changed the page.

It's not definitive but the Wayback Machine didn't save that CDC page at all in January but it did save it several times in February on the 10th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th. Multiple times on those last five dates.

Who is willing and able to verify this report? I treat all news with suspicion anymore.

Yes, I saw that.
The question is when did they actually change the page? In January or February?

[...the difference between conspiracy and reality was decades, not weeks?”

It’s now hours, days and news cycles.

An “elephant in the room” is DIOXIN contamination. For the last 17 years dioxin was considered toxic at 100ppm. A few weeks ago, inexplicably, the toxic was changed to 100,000ppm..see this article! Twelve yrs ago a 9 times smaller vinyl accident occurred where townspeople could not return to their homes for three weeks.

The OH E. Palestine disaster is one of the worst in US history and it is being downplayed. NOAA temporarily released its HYSPLIT images of the cloud spread and then removed them. Here they are at this link:

Don’t worry, the results of an early mRNA vaccine test of 200,000 people, took till the 3rd year to have full effect. All but 3 people had passed for various reasons. Not sure if this shot was the same mRNA sequence... No idea, but we should clearly know by the end of the year. If not, we will be hearing and dealing with these side effects for a long time. Sadly, with no legal recourse.

Prayer’s up for our vaxed Freepers, friends and families.

Usually if you smell a rat, there is a rat at play. These dirtbags plot and plan how they will take our freedom or kill us.

Same concept as changing the meaning of the word “vaccine” prior to rolling it out.

It is available here: https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxprofiles/tp20.pdf

Section: 3.2 Page 117.

“Data suggest that fetuses, infants, and young children are susceptible to the toxic effects of vinyl chloride.
Some epidemiologic studies (Infante et al. 1976a, 1976b; NIOSH 1977) suggested an association between
fetal death and birth defects and parental vinyl chloride exposure. However, the design and analysis of
these studies has been criticized (Hatch et al. 1981; Stallones 1987). Some inhalation studies with
animals have suggested that vinyl chloride is a developmental toxicant (e.g., produces delayed
ossification) at doses that also produce maternal toxicity (John et al. 1977, 1981; Mirkova et al. 1978;
Sal’nikova and Kotsovskaya 1980; Ungvary et al. 1978). However, no adverse effects on embryo-fetal
development were noted in a rat inhalation study (Thornton et al. 2002)”

in part. Seems like it wasn’t left out to me.

Just like they redefined “vaccine” so they could call the toxic jabs by that name ... enough to make a suspicious person.....suspicious...

They use vinyl chloride to make PVC, the stuff your home’s plumbing is made of. So maybe this incident is just the tip of an iceberg.

When people die in a home fire, it’s usually the inhalation of pvc smoke that kills them.

It is highly toxic.

Every volunteer fireman knows this.

How can anyone do this (change the toxic numbers exc..)? Do they think it will end well? SMH
