So let's break this down:
1. the people posting this OP are in the business of profiting on convincing people that their water is unsafe to drink. So they have a very significant vested interest in that.
2. The Guardian is a British newspaper.
3. The tests were done with samples from areas known to have super-high levels of PFAs, which means - the tests will show high levels of PFAs.
4. The tests confirmed that yup - those high-PFA hotspots really do have high levels of PFAs in the water.
5. Based on their limited, isolated, cherry-picked selections of testing sites and samples, they concluded that the entire US water access is not only high in PFAs, but that the EPA wasn't competent enough to make that bold, nationwide claim.
Good job scaring the masses, but if you targeted demographic is 80-year-olds who've been drinking PFA-loaded water for the past 80 years, it's not likely they're going to worry about another 1-20 years worth of PFA-loaded water. If they haven't died from it yet, they'll probably die from something completely unrelated when it's time.
