The veracity of your referenced studies aside, we live in a time where our fed gov’t denies the impact of climate change (labeling us as a rogue nation in the world community) without blinking an eye for crying out loud and there’s vast overwhelming amounts of scientific studies to support that we are killing our environment and threatening the existence of the earth – unequivocal. Then there’s the complementary administration propaganda campaign exaggerating “fake news” that is intended to attack the very credibility of any truth it disagrees with. So let’s just use our heads here. It’s about disease prevention and spread due to unsafe needle use – pretty simple and straightforward and not to be blurred by confusing it with other issues. Does it stress a community where it’s located – probably yes. Can that stress be managed with a dedicated commitment and effort – also, very likely, yes. Will it control the spread of disease – once again, yes.
