How would you react if you found out that governments across the world were aware that a deadly substance was being incorporated in thousands of different products, but did very little to stop the process? Or what if you were informed that major corporations continued to use such substances, despite mountains of evidence that the substance caused deadly and irreversible diseases? If this sounds to you like something out of a big budget Hollywood movie, no one could blame you. But the fact is that this is exactly what happened in the case of asbestos and the way it has been treated by governments and corporations in modern history.
As can be seen in the above video asbestos has killed millions of people in the past 100+ years. Companies sought to devise legal arguments which could protect them from the most damaging claims related to asbestos exposure, but eventually these arguments failed as asbestos was shown to be absolutely deadly.
If you suffer from asbestos related disease, such as lung cancer or mesothelioma, you should know that your exposure to the substance was likely the result of a decision which was made by higher ups in corporate America. They did not tell you what is that you were being exposed to the substance, but there is a high likelihood that they knew the risks.
