What should I watch? are you blind? kid. Stone, my hair is as white as mine, I tell you, it's all bleached by chemicals. My cows drink the water here and enjoy the cool water. This water makes them grow bloody lumps, and then their eyes are blank. Some of them even rush towards me like crazy. They are all the cows that I have fed with my own hands. Where are the other cows? Come with me. . . I started by burying them head to head, they are a family. But then more and more, I piled up a fire. How many heads have you lost? 190 heads. 190 cows? Don't tell me there's nothing wrong with it. Are you familiar with PFOA? Unfamiliar, unfamiliar. I did read something recently about something called PFOS though, and it sounds kind of relevant. what is that? Synthetic long-chain fluorocarbons. Sorry, chemistry was the worst class in my high school. Boy, you are in the wrong place. Tell me, then what? Synthetic, understand? Artificial. Long-chain fluorocarbons are sequences of carbons to which fluorides are added. Well, in the lab, you take a carbon atom, and then, you add another carbon atom, and then you add another, and then another, 8 carbon atoms, and in the lab you pretty much do whatever you want. I'm just wondering, why do you want to synthesize this. From a biochemical point of view, this carbon chain structure is very tight, so I think there will be applications in industry. What if you drink it? drink? How can you drink this. What will happen if you drink it? It was like asking me what would happen if I swallowed a tire. I don't know, do you want to try it yourself? That chemical, you said, has fluorine atoms in it. This is a fluorocarbon, so it will have fluorine atoms on it. What happens to your teeth after drinking it? Don't tell me you shouldn't drink it, what if you did? What happens to your teeth if you drink a lot? That, trace amounts of fluoride will make teeth stronger, but too much can make teeth dirty or even completely black. You have to tell me what's going on. We were poisoned. What? I'm serious, DuPont is poisoning us on purpose. You mean the land for that farmer, all of us. Please don't look at me like that, they're already poisoning babies. No, I don't want to hear that. Sarah. Shut up, shut up, okay? Did you hear what you just said? You're like a lunatic right now, tearing our rugs apart, scaring me to death, I know I should support you as a wife, but that doesn't mean you can go home and tell me that we weren't born children are being poisoned, no. Excuse me, can you give me a chance to explain? explain what ? Everything, if you still think I'm crazy, I'll let it go right away, I swear to God, I swear to you. There is a man-made chemical, invented in the Manhattan Project, that repels almost all elements, especially water, so scientists use it to create the first-ever tank waterproofing, which is indestructible. So some companies came up with an idea, why only use this material on the battlefield? Why can't this material enter every household in the United States. DuPont was one of them, so they took this PFOA chemical and renamed it C-8, and then DuPont made their own impervious coating, but it wasn't for use in On the tank, but on the pan, and they call this product Teflon, which stands for American ingenuity, which is made here, in West Virginia, in Fort Pax. But from the beginning, there was something strange about this. The workers involved in the manufacture of Teflon fell ill with vomiting and fever. DuPont wanted to know why, so they added Teflon to cigarettes. The workers said, "Hey, come here and smoke," and the workers did, and almost all of them ended up in the hospital. That was 1962. DuPont knew about the dangers of Teflon a year after it was produced. Toxic dust was released into the air along with the smoke, and toxic sediment was discharged into the Ohio River, or it was dumped in barrels and discarded in the cutting. Sapeak, but then their barrels started leaking, so DuPont started digging trenches right where the Washington, West Virginia plant was and they dumped the waste in, thousands of tons of C-8 toxic and dust go in. Among the men hired to dig the trenches was Wilbur Tenon's older brother, Jim. DuPont wasn't the only company covering up their traces. 3M invented a chemical used to make Scotchgard oil and water repellent. They experimented with monkeys and found that most of the monkeys died. It's not that they don't know the reason. They did experiments on mice and found that their organs became swollen, and the mice developed cancer. They did experiments on pregnant mice and found that the eyes of newborn mice were deformed, so they put all the Female workers on Teflon production lines were transferred without telling them why. Sue Bailey's job was to scrub these giant steel drums of liquid C-8, she was pregnant at the time, she gave birth to a baby with only one nostril and a deformed eye, you remember Dupont on rats Any deformities found? So Sue went to DuPont and she said "Why did you guys take me off the Teflon line withdraw? Did C-8 make my kids like this? ", "No" they answered her, and then, all her records on the Teflon line disappeared. A year later, they put all the female workers back on the Teflon line, and said nothing. DuPont knew All things, they know that the C-8 they leak into the air, and the C-8 buried in the soil for decades, is carcinogenic, they know their workers are starting to get cancer, they know that consumers are also exposed to carcinogens, C -8 isn't just in Teflon, it's in paint, fabric, uh, raincoats, boots, to this day.
For forty years you've known that C-8 is poison, you know the so-called "happy pot" is a ticking time bomb, and you know exactly why, because of C-8, it stays in our bodies forever, our The body has no way to degrade these substances, and even if you know these, you still do nothing, because doing something means that it will essentially affect the long-term viability of the product components, and you have obtained extremely rich profits from it. Flon one product and you're making a billion dollars a year, so you're putting millions of toxic C-8 into the air and water, so much that you can see foam on the water, C-8 Everywhere, there is no place in this world. That's when they found Jim because they knew he was sick and needed money, and they needed his land. After renting the land, they dug out every C-8 in the Washington factory. This time, they buried 14 million pounds of toxic C-8 waste here, away from this creek. Close to your house, Earl, this is what your cows drink every day. Put 'em in jail, all fucking in. I understand you, trust me, but this is a civil case and we can only expect some compensation. I don't want a penny, this fucking world has to... Ahem, gotta see what they do. Yes, the world should see it, and it hurts my heart if they don't. But this means that we have to go to court and prove that C-8 poisoned your cow, but every scientist who even knows a little about the matter has already worked for these chemical companies. This is not an accident, eh you. These companies have money and time, and they are willing to spend with you, trust me. I know very well because I was one of them. You still are. You are not serious. Do you know how much risk I'm taking now. If you want to be rewarded, who will award it to you, because for the first time in your life, you are on the side of the underprivileged. Unfortunately, there is no reward, you will only get a share of the blood-stained money, and you Have a good dream tonight. Tell your family. It's not just my cattle that are poisoned, what do you think my family eats, Wilbur, please, get out of this place, start over, and give your family a chance to live. It's too late, Sandra and I, we both have cancer. Surprise, surprise. You see someone in pain, and you do what you should, you help him. What did I do, let him die with nothing, or let DuPont continue to encroach on their hometown, is that helping? Can't believe that an out-of-court settlement could put this to an end. Did you read their nondisclosure agreement? But you've exposed a harmless threat to public health that's beyond the boundaries of a lawyer. Yes, but I only know how to be a lawyer. Well, then be a good lawyer. You know DuPont better than anyone, what is it that they can't think of?
I'm the host of this meeting, okay? Do you understand it? Has anyone read the data he collected? Intentional negligence, corruption, read it and see if you have the face to tell me we should sit back and watch, that's why Americans hate lawyers so much, that's why there are people like Ralph Nader all over the world, we should expose DuPont , we all should, American business deserves to be better, folks, and if we can't, we should help them. That's the only way to build confidence in this system, we've always thought of companies as people, and these people have crossed the line. fuck it. For someone like you who specializes in corporate defense, this stuff might be a little unexpected, but the law isn't just, black and white, you've got to impress people, these girls, they're in charge Liaison, members of the class action, no matter what the case, there are thousands of people to reach out to, and that's how we know their pain. My job is to make the jury feel these pains, not out of pity, but out of fear, and whatever happens to my client, make sure the jury feels that way, and it probably happened to me too. You must not be knocked down by them. No, I promised you. The world needs to know the truth. You don't make him feel like a failure anymore. Mr. Billot? Yes. I have to apologize to you first for waiting seven years before calling you. you are? Excuse me, my name is Dr. Karen. research team? Again, I'm really sorry for making you wait so long, Mr. Bilot. But the amount of data is too large. Please, doctor, please tell me what happened, what did you find? Okay, the amount of data you gave us is unprecedented, this is the largest epidemiological survey in human history, that's for sure, we've now linked continued exposure to C-8 with these six major disease categories Now, kidney cancer, testicular cancer, thyroid disease, pre-eclampsia, high cholesterol, ulcerative colitis, 3,635 people have been sick here, and there may be more in the future, thanks to you, the health of residents in this area will continue to be Guardianship, patients can also seek compensation, you have done a good job, Mr. Bilot, you have done a good job. Thanks!
DuPont, they broke the contract. Which part? all. They tore up the agreement, rejected the research team, fought them for every claim, thousands of claims, the patients would give up, they couldn't sue DuPont. How can they go back on it. They can't go back and go back, DuPont is an industry giant and they can do whatever the fuck they want here, no one can. They can sue you whatever they want, but that doesn't mean everything you've done is in vain. Of course, that's their purpose. They want to tell the world that fighting them is pointless. 22 awarded Rob $1.6 million in damages; second case: $5.6 million; third case: $12.5 million; DuPont, ultimately settled 3,535 lawsuits for $670.7 million. PFOA is present in the blood of all living things on earth, including 99% of humans. DuPont, they broke the contract. Which part? all.

Look everyone, he can't get out of this maze himself, he created it himself, the whole system is being manipulated, they want us to think that the system can protect us, but in fact it's just a lie, only we can protect ourselves, Not anyone else, not the companies, not the scientists, not the government, but ourselves, this is what a farmer who graduated from high school told me. He knew it from the beginning, but I thought he was unreasonable. Is it really unreasonable? In the first in the series, the jury awarded Rob $1.6 million; in the second: $5.6 million; in the third: $12.5 million; DuPont, $670.7 million against 3535 The lawsuit was mediated.
