And yet, we have this story from just a few months ago: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ageofautism.com%2F20... Do vaccines work? Yes. Are they safe? For most, yes. However, some people have had adverse reactions, including death, after a vaccine shot: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov%2Fb... Why is it assumed that vaccines are 100% safe for everyone? I can eat a bag of peanuts, but some people can die from just a trace of peanut. Why wouldn't vaccines be the same? Also, vaccines contain some toxic chemicals. I know the levels in an individual vaccine shot should be safe, but how about when a doctor administers multiple vaccines at once? Here's a list of vaccine ingredients: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fvaccines%2Fp... Then we have stories like this: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.news-medical.net%2Fn...

It looks like the citation has a bit more to it than "Trump claims asbestos is safe". The citation states he said "asbestos is 100% safe after application" in his book. I don't have a copy of the book to verify, but even so, that's somewhat different from claiming "asbestos is safe".

Maybe read the article first?

Ms. Beck said that, since there is no ban on asbestos, no regulatory process currently exists to stop a company that chooses to put it in something like flooring or roofing materials. But under the rule, some of those ways of employing asbestos — which had over the decades become less common — would now be considered a significant new use. That will force companies to notify the E.P.A. and face an evaluate the risks.

1. They're not "bringing it back". Read the article first.
2. Asbestos is currently not banned in the US. Asbestos is currently used in many products. There are currently no regulatory processes that stop a company from using asbestos. This proposal will actually force companies to notify the EPA and go through a risk evaluation.
