Air pollution may be to blame for thousands of dementia cases each year, researchers say

More junk science.

Explains all the Democrats.

Guessing they never ventured into the LA basin in the 60’s and 70’s. Or, maybe that’s why there seems to be an abundance of demented folks from there...... 🤔😁👍

From EV fires

From EV fires

That and all the smug emitted by EV drivers.

"may have", "researchers estimate", "links".

Yep. Sound definitive, alright...

"They model all sources at once. Coal-fired power plants, agriculture, wildfires, traffic, all these different emission sources, and then they turn off the source in the model one at a time. And then they can see the difference in what levels are there with the emissions sources, and what are there without them," said Adar.

More computer models. Computer models give what the people building the models want to get.

[Jeff Chandler]

That’s crazy.

You know, you may have a . . . hey wait a minute.

I grew up in Cleveland Ohio in the 1950s downwind of three steel mills and the Standard Oil refinery.

Somebody should study my contemporaries and see if we have any higher incidence of dementia.

If high pollution areas cause dementia, then why doesn’t everyone who lives in those areas get dementia?

[milagro]

No, it makes perfect sense. Polluted air causes problems. So now the Democrats can pass a law that requires the EPA to get rid of—AIR!

[Getready]

The pollution has definitely affected the researchers and the publicists brains. I would guess that patient specific diseases have a million times greater effect than “air pollution” on late life cognition.

[FMBass]

but nothing, I mean nothing, to do with a certain “vaccine”.

[alternatives?]

“May”

[Getready]

Cause it doesn’t cause dementia. Unless inhaling gases directly from the exhaust of a combustion process or volcano. These researchers must own stock in electrical product industries.

If this were true you would see ten times the cases in places like Chinese cities and Nigerian cities. But you don’t. So I am guessing this is junk. And there is some other reason why the dementia cases show up in America disproportionately. I expect it is diet related.

But also consider the smokers. Were the smokers more prone to dementia? I don’t remember a clear link. I could see anywhere there was a larger amount of mercury or lead in the air. But neither stay in the air very long.

...or not

Monkeys may fly out of my butt.....or not.
