If you go back and look at the pictures of the "White Helmets" handling the "bodies" of the victims of the first chemical attack, they are not wearing any PPE. No gloves, no respirators, not even Tyvex suits*. Yet, not one had any ill effects from the "chemical" agent and it was like 100+people were all standing in the open next to each other, with just enough separation so that when they fell they were neatly organized, not stacked on top of each other, nor in a random jumble. It was, to coin a phrase....picture perfect...
* - Compare and contrast to the recent chemical attack in Britain using the same agent.
