Shapiro Admin Invites PAers to Submit False Fracking Health Claims

Three weeks ago, University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) researchers released three studies commissioned by the State Dept. of Health supposedly investigating whether or not there is a connection between shale drilling and childhood diseases, including cancer (see Pitt Releases Fake Research, Claims PA Fracking Linked to Kid Cancer). From the beginning, when Pitt received $2.5 million with instructions to investigate a single cause (shale drilling), our position has been that this is not real science. Not long after this fake research was issued, several organizations analyzed and destroyed it (see Serious Flaws Revealed in Pitt’s So-Called Fracking/Cancer Studies). Now, the leftwing PA Dept. of Health is inviting Pennsylvania residents to file complaints online if they feel fracking has negatively impacted their health. It's all a huge setup by sleazy lawyer Josh Shapiro (who happens to be the Governor of PA) to launch lawsuits against the shale industry. Mark our words--it's coming.
