There have been threads about this spraying before, discussing just this issue, that there is no science to this spraying of aircraft cabins, just government mandates.
Thus, I see the passengers concerns as having validity, she is being forced to accept chemical exposure which she was not forewarned about by BA and that could be done before passengers boarded.
There is a big difference between no evidence and no conclusive evidence. Regardless, the CDC's view has no relevance outside the US
Reading the AU government's page on it at
