That the way the parent comment is written evokes fear unnecessarily.

There are no definite provable effects of exposure of PFAS - in fact our current knowledge of them is so bad that if you use google and find a list of effects on the body from exposure of PFAS the list is endless and full of things that are unrelated, which is obviously impossible and nonsense.

They just seem like facts to me. If the reader reacts with fear, that's because they interpreted those facts as things that induce fear.
Most people have an irrational fear of one or many things, that doesn’t mean those fears have to be entertained.

The media loves to instil fear to get clicks.
