Honest scientists recognize that what causes asthma is unknown and might be many factors. Ambient air pollution was long blamed for asthma, but the data for ambient pollution and asthma anti-correlate in Western countries. The gas stove banners are not honest scientists. — PolitiTweet.org

Observe that CDC data shows that between 1980 and the mid-1990s asthma rates almost doubled, despite a significant decline in air pollution. This is an *anti-correlation* that contradicts the narrative that asthma is mainly caused by pollution. https://t.co/qXXtpNqv01 — PolitiTweet.org

Despite significant decreases in US ambient air pollution over the last decades, asthma prevalence increased. Without a really precise understanding of all the moving pieces, detailed attribution to things like gas stoves without empirical research is pretentious pseudo-science. https://t.co/v46y4lYjqL — PolitiTweet.org
