Just one example, we have many population groups that live in areas where groundwater is used for drinking that also live near a firefighting training base/station that has released huge amounts of PFOAs into the aquifers

Crazy as it sounds but living next to a firefighting training station still biases you towards certain living conditions

Scientists are perfectly fine with using lab, mouse, and emprical cross-sectional studies - that’s all valid scientific evidence.

Yeah obviously, but that’s still evidence, not proof, I used the word proce there intentionally.

I’m not suggesting they actually do it, I’m calling out people that take a bunch of very good evidence and then treat it like it’s proof. That’s all

And I’ve been using the words proof/prove this whole time.

There’s lots of evidence, but there’s not enough yet to do more than draw an interesting corollation.

But there’s definitely no proof and click bait videos that word it as such are trash

Thats what I am addressing, numties taking this evidence and running off with it to spread disinformation framing it as proof via their choice of words.

Jesus. Fucking. Christ. People need to learn to read.

I’m not sitting here saying PFAS dont cause issues

I’m sitting here calling out clickbait youtubers who frame evidence as proof via poor wording to incite people

God fucking damnit I hate how much people on the internet are so focused on bring right they won’t even read what you write properly just so they can find things to pick a fight over. Fuck off lol
