    It's really frustrating to see articles like this after all of the science denying that has happened over the course of the pandemic. Specifically, it's disheartening that so many people were mobilized against a life saving vaccine because of the fear of "chemicals" and side effects. But here we are in a position that the agency which is meant to be responsible for keeping us safe from environmental chemicals hasn't updated its standards in over 50 years. It's upsetting that there isn't more of an outrage that so many chemicals are literally banned in the EU for being too toxic but apparently Americans must be invincible to toxins (except vaccine related ones of course...)
