Occasional Cortex reminds everyone today about the lead poisoning in Flint, MI

[MO_Blue]

I think too many people don't know or don't remember that the big Flint lead poisoning incident never happened.
Occasional Cortex was lecturing again today and touting Flint Michingan as an example of environmental poisoning. I guess she doesn't remember that it was a CNN/Mike Moore HOAX. The Flint lead poisoning hoax was debunked more 2 years ago. Nobody in Flint who was tested had lead poisoning. Read about it in the NYT or here: https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/07/flint-michigan-water-no-lead-poisoning/
The horrible thing about these hoaxes is that they take on a life of their own.

There's a political thread for this.
