Abdul El-Sayed: ‘Every Time We Do a Fireworks Show, It Destroys the Air Quality’; ‘People Have Asthma Exacerbations and Heart Attacks the Next Day’

TRANSCRIPT:

EL-SAYED: “If your whole conception of America is that it’s fireworks, I’m so sorry, you don’t have a complete conception of America. But even then, right? Like, what is it that I said? Well, every time we do a fireworks show, it destroys the air quality and people have asthma exacerbations and heart attacks the next day. That’s all I was saying. You know what I mean? I’m not saying we shouldn’t have fireworks. I’m just saying maybe, like, there are other ways to show your love.”
