"Until we know more, it seems sensible to wear a face mask to limit exposure to windblown dust, filter water to remove contaminants, and buy food grown in healthy soil."
Well, at least the last two statements make sense. The rest of the article is like "there will be a huuuuge number of heart attacks upfront"... Through... contaminated soil? Sure. Let the vax games begin.
It's funny because anyone who has worn a mask in a dusty environment on a windy day knows those particles aren't going to be super limited.
But also, we do tend to wear face coverings in those environments and we know foreign particles like that can do great damage to our lungs, especially if they're unable to be expelled.
Contaminated soil, though, really?
Soil is already contaminated with lead. Has been for decades or longer. Some people point the finger at leaded gasoline. I'm not sure I really buy that specifically, however I digress.
Contaminated soil that will outright kill you on the other hand is rare and not likely to be in a normal every day environment. This is why we wash our vegetables.
