For the past 20 months, experts in Aerosol transmission of respiratory viruses have been conducting studies that prove #COVIDisAirborne. These experts have called for Airborne mitigations (ventilation, filtration and respirators), but we have not heeded their calls. Why?

🧵1/13
The ID/PH Evidence-Based Medicine gatekeepers, driven by biased #DropletDogma groupthink, and sunk cost fallacy, smugly dismissed these studies. They threw rocks at the conclusions, and perpetually raised the bar of evidence to accept and mitigate Airborne Transmission.

2/13
The criticisms from these self-anointed gatekeepers were ripe with logical fallacies, and they never bothered to offer a plausible alternate explanation for the undeniable indoor superspreader events. Just baseless declarations that COVID is NOT Airborne.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for HEPA filters to be installed in schools & workplaces this summer

The @AHS_media Scientific Advisory Group Co-Chair doesn’t think there’s enough evidence.

Important addendum to this thread.

There has been a multi-day debate occurring amongst @AntibioticDoc and many engineers and Aerosol scientists, regarding whether there is sufficient evidence to use HEPA filters to mitigate against Airborne Transmission of SARS2.

Here's the latest:

First, HEPA filters work.

Both the @CDCgov and @WHO acknowledge that SARS2 is transmitted via BOTH short and long range *Inhalation of virus containing Aerosols*.

We know HEPAs remove those aerosols from the air, so they can't be inhaled.

For those following this HEPA filter thread – this is a really important acknowledgement. It’s clear from the thread, and this particular tweet, that many Infectious Disease experts still doubt that aerosol transmission is an important/mitigable transmission route for SARS2🧵 1/
While they acknowledge aerosol transmission can occur, they believe it is a rare event occurring in special circumstances, and is therefor not worth the $ to mitigate.
Eg. re HEPAs: "We need to resource by best impact", "Changes need rigorous justification and business case".

See my pinned tweet for a thread summarizing the overwhelming evidence that Aerosol Transmission is an important and mitigable route. At the end, I provided a reference list and posed a question to the ID holdouts - no responses yet.
