^^^ Asbestos: Between 1930 and 1960, manufacturers did all they could to prevent the link between asbestos and respiratory diseases, including cancer, becoming known, so they could avoid prosecution. American workers had in fact sued the Johns Manville company as far back as 1932, but it was not until 1962 that epidemiologists finally established beyond any doubt what company bosses had known for a long time – asbestos causes cancer.
My father died from that shit, meanwhile the U.S. government did every thing it could to cover up the truth for nearly 50 years prior to my father's death. Mainly because the Fortune 500 companies that produced that shit have a vast majority of congress, senate and the entire U.S. government on their payroll and they still do to this day.
If you have the time read one of thousands of articles and or depositions regarding the manufacturing, cover-ups, lies, history, denial, conspiracy, facts, etc... on asbestos: http://www.google.com/search?hl=…
