CDC blocked release of ‘alarming’ environmental report

The Center for Public Integrity reports today that “for more than seven months, the nation’s top public health agency has blocked the publication of an exhaustive federal study of environmental hazards in the eight Great Lakes states” because of “alarming information” about “elevated infant mortality and cancer rates” potentially threatening “more than nine million” Americans. In July, just days before the report was to be released, the Center for Disease Control “withdrew it, saying that it needed further review.






Here’s the report that top officials of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention thought was too hot for the public to handle—and the story behind it.

It looks like all they're offering is selected excerpts. I'd like to get the entire report.

:sarcasm: I have a new name for the CDC "Centers for Damage Control".

I hope someone comes out with an online text version.

I grew up right in a Canadian city on the Lower Great Lakes, and still have family living there. I want to see what the findings are.

So now we are left with nothing, no one will work on our side. Oh yeah and the gummit is NEVER WRONG, eva. We can all blow up in a huge fireball and the three remaining gummit 'officials' would blame it on anyone but themselves.

Our current govt makes the mafia seem like chumps.

These guys have poisoned this nation metaphorical, consciously and physically.
Kick.
