Making the argument that you should kill scientists for their inventions is short sighted, dumb and morally dubious
Its Science, if Thomas didn't invent leaded gasoline someone else would have figured it out, an interesting parallel is Fritz Haber, discoverer of the habers process(iykyk).
Even if he invented it, it was the corpos who heavily pushed and kept it in circulation for their own benefit.
Attacking Science in any way compromises human progress, CFC's were the stepping stone to less harmful refrigerants.
