I'm talking about like fingernail clippings, things like that.

You'd establish a baseline of toxins in people's blood.

And then five years later, 10 years later, you try to figure out what the toxins were in people's blood five years, 10 years down the road.

And then you'd ask yourself,

What weird diseases, if any, are people starting to develop after 5, 10, 15 years, right?

The long-term health effects of this stuff.

And it was in some ways a really interesting thing to study because we had never had a chemical disaster where we tried to study the effects years down the road.

And of course, how much would this cost?

Between $5 and $20 million over the whole lifetime of the study.

We couldn't get Biden-Harris.

We couldn't even get some of my colleagues in the United States Senate to give a shit about

And it's really frustrating to me because the time has now passed.

Right.

All these people who are saying we are volunteering to be a guinea pig to understand the long term health consequences.

The time has passed and we're never going to know because we didn't get the money to do the very small amount of money to do that study then.

So you ask that question.

The answer is, I don't know.

I tried like hell to find out.

Yeah, I thought a lot about that.

I think in this particular case, it was just bureaucratic bullshit and too many people being distracted.
