couldn’t they have just pitched tents by the LA Port and fed ‘em free food and meds.. might have been cheaper and more reliable a test, if we are going to be doing tests, that is, that reach so far into that delicate balance between science and boorsihness.
Heck, they could’ve put particulate sensors in the Lincoln or Holland Tunnels, while monitoring the PA cops and maintenance crews who work down there.

The article does not say when these “tests” occurred, but still, the government needs to be brought to account. This is despicable. It doesn’t matter if it was done during the Bush years (I doubt that), but with all the other scandals Zero is having to endure, one more can’t help him. Anything to make him look like the evil incarnate that he his.
This is what the Nazis originally tried using vans. The people called them soul destroyers.
The Nazis complained that it didn’t kill fast enough. If you’ve seen the movie, “Conspiracy” when they talk about the bodies coming out pink, this is what they were talking about.
Blueyon,
Click on the two links in the main article and get this....
those two stories are from OCTOBER last year and we are just now hearing about it??!!??
Somebody in the 0 administration has been covering stuff up again....
It’s real. Local media covered it up quick. They always do for UNC...
This article is really misrepresenting the research done, and the reason the lawsuit was filed. It makes it sound like people were being thrown into gas chambers with highly lethal gases, and that is NOT what happened.
Like all research, this study was being conducted with IRB approval, and the study participants had the risks explained to them beforehand and signed statements that they understood the risks. Because a medical problem arose with one participant, she was taken to the hospital for testing and observation. The problem resolved itself within a couple of hours. The physicians conducting the study published a paper on the incident to warn other physicians who might conduct similar studies that this problem is a risk of this kind of study. The patient’s life was never endangered.
Lisa Jackson’s testimony (quoted in the linked article), “In testimony delivered to Congress in September of 2011, EPA chief Lisa Jackson claimed that exposure to fine particulate matter of 2.5 microns–or less–was lethal” is also really misleading. She was saying the EPA’s rationale for trying to push such strict air pollution standards that we could shut down all industry and still not be able to meet the standards. The “lethality” of these particulates is based on studies showing that on days of high particulate matter density, more people die from asthma and other respiratory problems than on days of low particulate matter density. And the increase in numbers of deaths is so small as to be nearly hidden in the “noise” of the normal death rate. For instance, if on “normal” days, 1 out of 50,000 asthmatics die, on high particulate matter days, the rate might increase to 1.2 out of 50,000 asthmatics. That’s hardly “highly lethal.”
The entire lawsuit seems to have been filed for the purpose of making a political statement. While I normally like Steven Milloy, I do not like the fact that he stooped to engaging in political circus. That’s normally a tactic of the left. Yes, there are problems with the EPA overstepping its regulatory authority. But that’s not an excuse for circuses.
While the air being tested probably was less bad than in heavy freeway traffic or next to a bus terminal or airport (ever smelled what it’s like next to Chicago O’Hare?) it still has a ghoulish sound.
So now they are going Guatemala on Americans??

heard abt this at least a year ago or so
You’re all just Soilent Green
There is a radio show that many people put down here that covered this a year ago. Your late to this news.
