Exxon Valdez Funds Likely to go Unused

... the clock is 'ticking'

What about our HUMAN RESOURCE?
That's my question

And that's the question Exxon has been avoiding all these years

They know about the 'experiments' they ran & what happened to the Inipol EAP 22 trials and Corexit Trial PEOPLE

Bob Wade - wife Helen Wade (now dead) probably would still be very much alive and enjoying more community service and their GREAT GRANDCHILDREN had Bob not been in the Corexit trial. Helen could have gotten exposure 2nd hand

Comments and info on a couple of the EVOS workers

Workers didn't have the right personal protective equipment

People who have been harmed have the proof However, most of the time, they don't even use a computer, and contacting ill people and getting them to 'do something' is not that easy, either. Those who are aware that their health is failing, many times cannot face the gravity of these issues - especially the young men used in the 'bioremediation' experiment who would mostly be in their mid 30's today. About the age of many of the 'gulf war syndrome vets' and with all of the same issues to deal with - but no attention given to the issue.

Others in our community may have run across the chemical that was sometimes spilled - a hazardous job to be a surveyor back in those days.  Many could have come into contact with it 2nd hand, by getting vapors expelled in the breath of those ... into your eyes.  Remember a time when your eyes burned & hurt & urine turned dark?  Remember a time when you had horrible flu-like symptoms?  Doctor most likely would say it was a virus, but more probably, it was this chemical's poisoning

We're seeing a lot more brain tumors and cancers in our area, too since 1989.  Also - I heard a report from 2 sources, that workers died.  One family was sent his last pay check with no comment of any kind.  They never heard from him again - so they suspect that he died working on the Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup.  I know a woman in our town who nearly died and she's not getting much medical help for the resultant health ailments.  Doctors are stumped.

The cleanup was worse than the oil spill itself, if you ask me.  I firmly believe that more people would be alive from that 11,000 group of workers today and living in health had they never come for that 'job'

                  Next time, don't let Exxon 'run the show'
