Chemicals That Are Worsening COVID-19

Bozeman, southern Montana, 27 April 2020:

In 2012, the World Health Organization and the United Nations Environment Program released a report concluding that endocrine-disrupting chemicals are a global public health threat.

The science has only grown stronger since then.

Thousands of scientific papers have been published in the last 20 years linking endocrine-disrupting chemical exposure to the very comorbidities that increase the risk of dying from COVID-19.

Some of the chemicals highlighted in this research are bisphenols like BPA, phthalates (plasticizers), perfluorinated (forever) chemicals, flame retardants, PCBs and a variety of new and old pesticides.

One of the most disturbing studies found that vaccines don't work as well in children who had high levels of perfluorinated chemicals, PFOS and PFOA, in them as infants

In 2020 each of us carries a collection of these chemicals in our bodies, including in our blood, tissues and organs.

There is much more in us now than there was even 30 years ago. No one is uncontaminated, including unborn babies.

Given what the research tells us, it's not surprising that with higher levels of endocrine-disrupting chemical exposure, the endocrine-related adverse health effects noted above have surged as public health threats.

Nor is it surprising that the effects are being seen in younger and younger adults, and now even in teenagers. Environmental Health News
