Check out the balls on this kid. Meanwhile the Left still defends the government's Covid lies.
NYC's response is irrelevant since Congress realized the scale of the problem and stepped in in 2010

No matter what New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani thinks about the 25th anniversary of 9/11, he isn't letting the event go to waste. On Tuesday he released some 170,000 pages of city documents that he claims show that officials "lied" about the risks of toxic exposure. This is revisionist history.
"These are documents that show what the city knew about the toxic air around Ground Zero, when they knew it, and how they acted to limit liability," Mr. Mamdani told the press. "People got sick because the leaders they trusted lied and told them they were safe to breathe in toxic air."

In 2010 Congress passed a law that provided medical treatment, health monitoring and financial compensation to first-responders and others exposed to toxins. The program resembles the no-fault National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program in that people can get government compensation for injuries if they agree not to sue.
The program compensates individuals for economic harm caused by their injuries, including lost earnings and medical costs if they can show they were present within a specified exposure zone between Sept. 11, 2001, and May 30, 2002. They can also receive pain and suffering payouts, capped at $250,000 per cancer and $90,000 for other conditions.
Some 106,000 claims have been filed through 2025, with some 71,000 thus far paid out. Awards have totalled $16.8 billion since 2011. The program has succeeded in helping victims obtain compensation faster than if they went to court. It has also spared the city having to fight a swarm of plaintiff attorneys seeking to capitalize on the pain and suffering of victims.
