mechanisms"
Then there is no good precautionary principle to hang your hat on.
What if you got it wrong and made it worse?
You could use the same argument to justify eveyone existing on a diet
of lentils boiled in Witch-Hazel.

You have no proof of that or even of any similar (lesser) outcome.

Move out of that preposterously wasteful house and quit your
preposterously wasteful lifestyle, create the wherewithall to support
the nauseous & miserable lifestyle you enjoy yourself without relying
on others (whom you criticise) to support it, in a way that you propse
for everyone else and then we might listen to you.
