The Biden administration announced Friday that the Department of Health and Human Services and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will deploy a team of medical personnel and toxicologists to East Palestine, Ohio,"to conduct public health testing and assessments" following the Feb. 3 rail derailment.
"It is our understanding that Governor DeWine's Administration has been in communication with your agency about the need for federal support to assist with the cleanup of the Norfolk Southern train derailment and subsequent chemical fire that occurred in East Palestine, Ohio on February 3," the letter reads.
The administration said the new HHS and CDC teams are being deployed in direct response to DeWine's request for aid. The EPA, which was deployed to the scene"hours" after the derailment, has not detected"any levels of health concern" after the fires were extinguished on Feb. 8, officials say.
HHSGov CDCgov GovMikeDeWine A little late. If Pete doesn't want to do his job, or doesn't know what to do, he needs to be replaced.
HHSGov CDCgov GovMikeDeWine Lies - Biden sent someone to Ohio because Trump announced he would go. Like Trump or not, he can still intimidate Biden.
HHSGov CDCgov GovMikeDeWine They're going because President Trump said he was going.
HHSGov CDCgov GovMikeDeWine Translation - When efforts to deemphasize what is clearly a significant government-made HAZMAT disaster fail, send in the HHS and CDC goons to pretend they didn't lie to us.
HHSGov CDCgov GovMikeDeWine Buttplug doesn’t care.
HHSGov CDCgov GovMikeDeWine Weeks late…
HHSGov CDCgov GovMikeDeWine
HHSGov CDCgov GovMikeDeWine So…..AFTER orange man said he’d be there on Wednesday, Bidens team steps in to say…”Oh thank goodness we saved you”. Totally UNRELATED
HHSGov CDCgov GovMikeDeWine Too little too late?

HHSGov CDCgov GovMikeDeWine Biden is always a week+ late to the disaster. Doesn't make anyone feel secure.
HHSGov CDCgov GovMikeDeWine Well, DeWine's request and Trump's announcement, anyway.
HHSGov CDCgov GovMikeDeWine I mean…2 weeks later
HHSGov CDCgov GovMikeDeWine How many days after the derailment and subsequent burning of the chemicals? A tad bit late, no?
HHSGov CDCgov GovMikeDeWine Finally..js!
HHSGov CDCgov GovMikeDeWine Biden will not declare a disaster in Ohio or go all out on an investigation because he is in the pocket of the rail roads and rail unions after he personally negotiated the avoidance of the national rail strike last year. Sadly, his hands are now tied, or at least tainted!
HHSGov CDCgov GovMikeDeWine I thought they needed actual help in East Palestine. How about diverting the billions of Ukraine $$$ to move the residents who want to do so.
HHSGov CDCgov GovMikeDeWine Kinda late, isn’t it?
HHSGov CDCgov GovMikeDeWine Jesus, we want to save them, not kill them. What a disaster.
