One fraud begets another. Air quality harms no one’s health and certainly has no effect on COVID-19. But America’s communists are going all out to defeat President Trump, including the bogus effort to connect PM2.5 and deaths from COVID-19.
The recent “Harvard Howler” trying to link PM2.5 with COVID-19 deaths was funded by money Harvard received from the Obama EPA.
I was reading an article upcoming in this week’s New York Times Magazine when I was struck by a possible effort by the PM2.5 fraudsters to change their narrative.

In its “report” of the the Trump EPA’s decision not to tighten PM2.5 standards, the Washington Post ran this photo:
But…

A big win for all who have worked on this. We’re not done yet. But a big win nonetheless. You can read the wailings of the PM2.5 fraudsters in the New York Times coverage (Web | PDF). Incredible that the fraudsters launched their PM2.5-coronavirus study as a last minute “Hail Mary.” Also note the fake news headline — “Trump Disregards Advice.” In fact, EPA’s CASAC advised Administrator Wheeler that there was no scientific basis for tightening the standards.
Never waste a crisis. A new study from Harvard claims that 1 microgram per cubic meter increase in PM2.5 is associated with a 15% increase in deaths from COVID19. This is totally absurd.

So the Trump administration finally finished rolling back the pointlessly expensive and impossible-to-achieve 2012 Obama administration fuel economy standards. Great. But did EPA staff sabotage the rulemaking to favor certain legal challenge by environmentalists? You betcha.
The air quality mafia is so desperate that it is now claiming outdoor air reduces life expectancy by more than smoking.

Anyone knowledgeable about epidemiology was appalled when, in 1992, EPA labeled secondhand smoke as a carcinogen based on a relative risk of 1.19 — well within the noise range of statistical correlations and essentially a no-correlation finding. Now the British Medical Journal has published a study trying to link ozone in outdoor air with premature mortality based on a relative risk of 1.0018. That is shocking enough, but check out the BMJ’s ‘trust us’ guarantee.
