Look, you want to defend him and I don't. You think it is a-ok to open theatres at 100% capacity when respected science said otherwise (not to mention to do so illegally). You think it is a-ok to spray toxic chemicals on audiences because the show must go on. [I could go on but in the words of Bette Midler, "why bother?"] Maybe you think it is ok for businesses to spew toxins into the atmosphere because it's good for business. Maybe you think it's important to support coal mining because, hey, it keeps folks employed (at least until they get black lung disease). I get it. I am not trying to suppress your expression of those beliefs, just calling you out on your hagiography.

You don't seem to be heeding Ms. Midler's advice. You DO go on...and on...and on. One minute it is a discussion about opening Cinderella, the next thing you know he is responsible for coal mining disasters and industrial waste management.

He didn’t say he believed those things.

I loathe coal mining—as a matter of fact, attended several protests against it here in Alberta, Canada when our conservative govt proposed opening new ones in the Rockies.

You know nothing about me, and as usual, your post is a fancifully worded salad of hyperbolic assumptions.

As for toxic chemicals— He simply proposed a trial of some thing that may have worked… Was the proposal ill-informed? Possibly… But I hardly think that makes him some sort of depraved serial killer as you have so repeatedly implied… There’s a link attached if you care to read the article…

You're both hitting the extremes on this chemical spray. Webber wasn't proposing spraying audiences with an untested chemical spray, that is true, but he also went out of his way to (hyperbolically) accuse scientists of being "frightened", saying that health officials were obstructing the (Conservative) government's enthusiasm to attempt a trial of the spray. Not the words of a serial killer, but in an era where moneyed interests are questioning scientists in their rush to re-open their businesses, this is more extreme to me than "simply propos(ing) a trial of some thing that may have worked".
