Some years ago when the transition was implemented to no longer use CCA for pressure treating wood, I had a phone conversation with the top person at the EPA for communicating with the public about the change. It was very interesting. I already had decades of experience in my playground manufacturing business using pressure treated wood with the old chemical.
It is a fact that the exact same chemical, chromated copper arsenate, had been used successfully for nearly three-fourths of a century for pressure treating, without any harm to anyone.
So I asked the person ‘in the know’ at the EPA, “What is your record of anyone being harmed by CCA in pressure treated wood?”
The answer, “We haven’t finished reviewing the data.”
Wow! Seventy years of use everywhere, and frequent media stories scaring people to think the chemical in the wood is harmful, and yet the EPA had not one example to tell me about anyone getting hurt. Why? Because no one was ever harmed by wood treated with CCA.

And last week I heard another use of the same line from the person representing the CDC before the United States Supreme Court about ‘vaccine’ mandates. In an interview the next day, the official was asked to clarify about harmful effects of the covid ‘vaccine.’ Answer, “We haven’t finished reviewing the data.”
That, my fellow Americans, is the tip of the iceberg what the government is doing to hurt us and destroy this country.
