They would embrace any method of dying to own the libs as long as they believed it was a sign of fealty to TFG...

who was vaccinated before anyone else, and took experimental monoclonal antibody treatments not available to the public... and yet probably infected dozens if not hundreds of people because he refused to be isolated after testing positive... almost killing Chris Christie... THAT TFG?

Stop paying attention to her and Boobert and they will stop throwing their little public hissy fits, just like the toddlers they are. I've been saying that for a long time.

9. We HAVE closed schools because of concerns over cancer . . .

Over the years, many schools have been closed when cancer-causing substances have been found in the soil around the campus. Sometimes for radioactive contamination, other times because of chemicals in the soil. There have been times it's been done out of an abundance of caution, and sometimes it's been spurred by concerns over cancer clusters.

Research. It's part of the scientific method. Which abundantly explains the lack of thought in Congresswoman Greene's supposed "musings."


Ohio town worries about safety after radioactive contamination is found at middle school

Are we safe? That’s the concern that’s been in the back of neighbors’ minds when they look at the looming Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Pike County, Ohio, Jennifer Chandler said.

“It looks like they make clouds there,” the Piketon village councilwoman thought as a child, seeing steam coming out of the stacks. “When I was growing up, I didn’t have any idea what they did.”

The US Department of Energy plant was built to produce enriched uranium for the nation’s nuclear weapons program during the Cold War and, in later years, supported commercial nuclear reactors. One of three such plants in the United States, it operated from 1954 to 2001, when it commenced decontamination and decommissioning, which continues today.

In the past five years, five students in the nearby Scioto Valley Local School District have been diagnosed with cancer; three of them have died, Chandler said. Her cousin, Luke, who grew up near the facility, died years ago of leukemia. She wonders whether it is a cancer cluster.

“You don’t want to make a claim that you can’t back up. How is this caused? Is this a genetic cancer? Is this an environmental cancer? I’m not a medical professional,” she said. It’s a sensitive subject: “This isn’t a game, you know. These are people’s lives.”

On Monday, Zahn’s Corner Middle School in Piketon was closed because enriched uranium had been detected inside the building and neptunium-237 had been detected by an air monitor next to it.

Or her followers? Maybe, since they continue to quote the false comparison with abortion also.
