We spent two years wearing useless paper masks to protect us from the Covid-19 virus despite evidence suggesting that any mask other than an N-95 was next to worthless. Yet in East Palestine, Ohio, where the government just incinerated a trainload of volatile organic compounds and exposed an entire town to a mushroom cloud of carcinogens, I am yet to see a mask on anybody other than the clean-up crews. Sure, return to your soot-covered homes and drink the water that’s killing fish. “We’re from the government, and we’re here to help.” The nine most frightening words in the English language. But personal protective gear? Masks? Not a word of guidance from the same government that brought you Covid restrictions and lockdowns. When the guys from the EPA are wearing HazMat suits with respirators and telling you everything’s okay, that’s your cue to run.
