Movement on Paraquat!

[Lee Zeldin @epaleezeldin]

🚨More MAHA Progress! The Trump EPA has made the important, proactive decision to freshly reassess the safety of PARAQUAT. It’s all about gold-standard science and radical transparency for Americans. MAHA has been a leading voice in calling for stronger protections for workers and communities, and the Trump EPA recognizes and greatly values that leadership. We share the same core goal that any pesticide on the market used to eliminate weeds, germs, diseases, or bugs must meet the HIGHEST standards of safety, grounded in the best available gold standard science.

When new science raises questions, the Trump EPA will not look the other way. We will demand the best and most accurate data, and we are prepared to act on what that data shows. When accurate new studies reveal additional risk, we will be in a stronger position both scientifically and legally to tighten protections, require tougher rules, and limit uses as needed to protect workers, neighbors, and communities. When accurate studies do not show additional risk, communities can have greater confidence that the protections already in place are working as intended.

EPA is requiring paraquat manufacturers to thoroughly prove that current uses are safe in real‑world conditions. If they cannot meet that standard, decisive action will certainly follow. The Trump EPA is committed to upholding gold‑standard science and radical transparency. #MAHA

@PdAvengers Hey gang, Larry here. There is no winning with PSAs because the audiences need different messaging. Parkinson Canada really did a good job trying to change stigma here. Perfect? Nope. But I do find it charming and would love to have the confidence to call my walk a swagger.

@KatherineEban @cmilz3211 @cpetersorenson From a DBS patient and a 30-year news guy, excellent, if not disturbing, reportage. @KatherineEban thank you for going the distance. It is making a difference. The study is stalled for now. A friend was recruited for the study and then unrecruited this week. Her DBS is tomorrow.

@DrRigid @morethanatremor @PdAvengers @ParkinsonsPod @DaveClarkTV @ParkinsonsUK @CureParkinsonsT @MichaelJFoxOrg @ScienceofPD It’s more than a tremor. It’s a full body disease. Symptoms can be different day to day, hour by hour, and minute by minute.
It will impact mood and communication. Just because you lose ability it doesn’t mean it’s gone forever. You need their support, undertaking and patience.
