For the 26th year, New York City continues its toxic pesticide spraying to “control” West Nile Virus

These are the 20th and 21st mass pesticide spraying “events” conducted by the City’s Department of Health this year.

The New York City pesticide spray program was initiated by Mayor Rudy Giuliani in 1999; Mayor Giuliani ran it from his bunker on the 23rd floor of World Trade Center #7 under the auspices of the Office of Emergency Management. The program has continued under Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Bill de Blasio, and now Eric Adams.
