> The Guardian, which is already at the limits of reliability
Based on what, exactly? Disagreeing with a publication does not make them unreliable. The Guardian's journalism is consistently award-winning and rates highly on credibility. The Guardian's opinion section is openly centre-left, though I suppose Americans would consider this to be some sort of comically ultra-left-wing communist point-of-view given the state of politics in the country.
Simple PFAS regulations have been put in place in Europe[0] and the FDA has access to the same studies and information as the EU bodies. The science has been performed. The lawsuit was to push for regulation because the FDA has been dragging their feet for years[1] and refusing to act.
Edit: Also, note that this account was created today and has made 3 comments, 2 of which are taking potshots at The Guardian. This sort of astroturfing has no place on HN.
You are deranged. I am not an astroturfer, I'm someone with my own opinions and not just knee-jerk reacting to a headline from a news source that is willing to manipulate its audience for engagement.
Please actually respond to the comment instead of whatever this is. It looks reasonable enough to me and I trust the FDA more than The Guardian or the "Tucson Environmental Justice Task Force".
I don't see any forward looking timelines on the page, is this the right link?

+1 couldn't agree more. It's concerning this account is on the top.

If you have not noticed the broad daylight bribery of public officials in the US then I don't think there is anything I can do to help you.

Not enough right wing denial of reality for your tastes?
