"The agency also announced plans to relax a rule requiring companies to report all products containing PFAS and has proposed weakening drinking water standards for the chemicals."
The EPA is starting to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food. The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of PFAS — also known as "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.

I finished Parable of the Sower over a week ago and it hit close to home on several levels. The writing, the storytelling, everything was very compelling. Reading this book in 2025 is definitely something in this current climate. Remember: pattern recognition is important and God is change📚

There is no evidence that breaking up the MMR shot would make the immunization safer or more effective.
