Out of control government is far deadlier to our well being than lead poisoning is these days.
And that doesn’t even take into account government lead poisoning delivered via the barrel of a gun.

I did lead testing in older and low-income homes a few years back. It was believed that blacks eating lead paint was the reason for the ills of that society.

I heard that the latter was common in places like the USSR and Khmer Rouge Cambodia.

Way too many people die daily from lead poisoning in Chicago.

Testing?
How about a test to determine all the ailments that the mRNA gene therapy shots caused.
Is it reversible? It depends. Some elements of it might be, but any damage to the immune system and damage to the RNA is likely permanent.

Yes, and it is due to high speed injection.

I don’t see any downside to this. The effects of lead on brain development are well known. Heavy metal poisoning can be devastating and disabling or fatal if not treated. Older housing stock still tends to have old white paint which is a vehicle for lead. Those that remain are occupied mostly by low income people. Kids sometimes do pick and eat paint chips from windowsills etc. Plus paint dust can get in the air and inhaled. So what’s the big deal if government wants to address this problem? Lead abatement programs have been around for decades. Better we should lay off and let the problem persist?

Thanks. I didn’t ‘get’ that one until your post.
To: cymbeline
Yes. Lead can be deadly.
I have a number of molds for it.
