but I'd be more likely to believe it if the statement came from a dpctor rather than a ;awyer.

susceptibility to infections. His alcoholism has been well documented. Chronic alcohol use negatively affects respiratory health, potentially causing irreversible damage to the lungs, thereby increasing susceptibility to infections and can have a worse prognosis from pneumonia.

The mechanisms through which alcoholism affects lung health include increases in oxidative stress to the lungs, damaging cells, impairing their function, altering the production of cytokines which impairs immune function and increasing susceptibility to pneumonia.

Worse still, alcoholics have a higher mortality rate from pneumonia due to weakened immune responses as well as to ARDS (Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome)--a potentially deadly complication leading to rapid lung failure.

Can I say with assuredness that he did not suffer exposure to the toxic components from 911? No. But, I can say his alcoholism is likely a major, if not THE MAJOR factor in his lung disease.

From people who had been out drinking the night before and then tried to do a workout the next day. They noticed the effect.

From that experience I always suspected there was a connection between alcohol and lung functioning.

The Burger King on Wall St reopened with a 4-inch layer of "dust" that was fine ground glass, asbestos, dry wall and human remains on everything in that area.

Tourists were scooping it up in the envelopes that hotels have in the rooms.

He re-opened it quickly and without clean up to show how resilient he was. Now he wants compensation for his own actions that exposed not only him but thousands of other people.

This could become a recognized disease in years to come.......

He said, in the first month after the attacks, "The air quality is safe and acceptable." However, in the weeks after the attacks, the United States Geological Survey identified hundreds of asbestos hot spots of debris dust that remained on buildings.

I hope he gets exactly what he deserves.

old and hasn’t been healthy for several years. If he hasn’t gotten pneumonia vaccines that are suggested for those over 70, it’s no wonder he got pneumonia.

The same man who said the air was perfectly safe, evven though it wasn't? The same man who, to prove how safe it was, how brave he was, did not bother wearing a mask? The same man who did not see any need for the cleanup crews to wear masks? The same scum who made millions from the horror with his scum partner bernie kerick?

May he receive everything he deserves.
