Agency scientists found that PFNA could cause developmental, liver and reproductive harms. Their final report was ready in mid-April, according to an internal document reviewed by ProPublica, but the Trump administration has yet to release it.

Ain’t that the truth.
If you pull up the ewg.org working map of the perflouro- contaminated sites in the country, it’s horrifying.
Thing is, if the Pro Publica article is correct, these chemicals are afflicting male reproductive viability at the EXACT same time the Trump Administration’s cabinet is filed with natalist-leaning advisors… and they just don’t see it as going into part of why men are fathering fewer children.
They lay the blame on feminism and the birth control pills.
Thing is, globaly, male fertility has been falling for decades. Wanna bet part of it is tied to chemical exposure?
But… we won’t go there…
Anti-Intellectualism is a core part of who these people are. They will cut off their nose to spite their face 100% of the time when it comes to anything that makes them feel stupid (so in this case, anything scientific).
100% agree. It might be PFAS, or plastics, or GMOs, or whatever but we won’t find out if we don’t look. It’s broken because our reps on both sides are all bought.
Yipes.
