Amid a surge in early onset cancer, the Trump administration has taken more than 500 actions to systematically dismantle protections against carcinogens once in place across the federal government, an October report alleges.

The Natural Resources Defense Council report, and comments from current and former officials from the Environmental Protection Agency, bring into focus how myriad changes in federal rules or protocol will dramatically increase the public’s exposure to carcinogens. These are taking effect at a time when some forms of early onset cancer are spiking by about 30% per decade.

MAHA.

The purpose of this administration is to increase suffering, morbidity, and mortality amongst americans, and the rest of the world. smh. The ones that benefit financially will make a little bit of profit, but that is clearly secondary to destroying people and planet.
