Too many variables, like loss of home, possessions, etc. You have people living in shelters eating commodity food that never had a single hard day in their middleclass lives.

Try sticking your head in a chimney and breathe in wood smoke for a week or two.

Now, include any burning building smoke in that exposure (example: burning Formica countertops, plastic objects, etc.).

One should expect both physical and mental effects from the smoke.

I never said anything dismissing environmental hazards. I live in an area that was razed by fires and spent a few days clearing my head from poison oak smoke you couldn't even see @c_merriweather fuckoff pizzaboi @Dragofix

I lived downwind of the fires in Lake County, California, and was evacuated for 7 days in 2018. I know about smoke altogether too much.

Me too. CZU, Last Chance, and others over my 50 years in SC County mountains, and ALL I SAID was there are TOO MANY VARIABLES to say the mental distubances were caused by smoke. Correlation DOES NOT equal causation. Stop defending garbage stats, which is almost every stat the msm publishes, because sensationalism sells ad space and copies. They even misstate legitimate stats with valid methodologies.
