Quite a bit
There is a 7-08 thread that ran away and turned into a lead debate.
Lead shot meat is an emotional plea from bird lovers (hawks, eagles, CONDORS)
The push and benefactors are raptor lovers
Condors we’re used as the great white buffalo that needed to be protected at all cost. The loudest proponents are bird lovers and gun control lovers. Look at the CA model- protect the functionally extinct condor in their designated range by removing lead projectiles, expand that range to the entire state once the emotional attachment to birds is established despite record high levels of hawks and eagles post westward expansion. It turned into a gun control tool pretty quickly.
Scientists can’t ethically design a study to determine its human effects( the test group would intentionally be fed lead which you would be trying to prove is poison)
the studies used to vilify lead bullets are cherry picked population studies on groups who ate “a lot of lead shot meat.” What they didn’t account for was environmental lead exposure - paint, gasoline, manufacturing, fish, water. Further they didn’t define an amount of lead shot meat.
What we do know is lead fumes are bad for humans, that’s why leaded gas is gone and lead in paint. Both of those entered your blood by inhalation.
