Climate the New Corona? Britain’s Fauci Says Doctors Needed to Fight Air Pollution
Doctors will need to lead efforts to deal with the effects of air pollution, Professor Chris Whitty said in a meeting hosted by leftist London Mayor Sadiq Khan on Thursday.
The Chief Medical Officer for England, who has led the government’s response to the coronavirus in a similar manner to Anthony Fauci in America, has warned that air pollution is “everybody’s problem and it’s a problem at all times.”
Speaking at the Clean Air Summit on Thurdsday, Professor Whitty said that it is a “solvable problem”, saying that society will need to look at areas such as road planning and engineering to come up with ways to reduce pollution, The Times reported.
“However, that doesn’t deal with the here and now, and many of these problems are going to take some years to work through.
“This is where the medical profession does come in. Along with others, I agree with the principle, as do leaders of the medical profession, that we have concentrated too little on air pollution,” Whitty said.
The top UK medical scientist said that medical officials should be looking to draw up plans for specific areas to be avoided by “vulnerable” people, explaining: “This is a time, place, and route you should be trying to avoid.” – READ MORE
