I visit the 9/11 memorial every time I go to New York. We won’t forget the heroes who saved people on 9/11, nor those who lost their lives or were harmed or their families.

It seems amazing that politicians and others at the time could claim that there was no health threat and that the air was safe to breathe after the 9/11 attack. It should be no surprise that the toxins like asbestos and others have caused more deaths and health impacts than the explosions and collapse of the twin towers themselves.

But don’t buy the media narrative by some and by politicians like New York Mayor Mamdani. The timing of their releasing documents covers up and deflects attention from those who committed these hateful crimes and why. That we should “never forget.”
