#Sulfate #aerosols are particles in the atm that have a net #cooling effect on the #climate. One of the most uncertain aspects of climate modeling is the surplus of SA during the preindustrial era.
So, a recent study explored preindustrial SA in a Greenland ice core.

I sympathize. But let's distinguish effective protections from deficient & arguably captured PH directives.
1/n
1/n
Much (most) of our successes were voluntary--our official failures through trust loss--via "noble" lies & nudges, soft then hard coercion, wishful thinking on vaxx superspreaders (Go Leafs, BC Hug Day), avoiding inconvenient data #aerosols, then division --
The West (BC) turned a triumph of voluntary compliance (80-90%) vaxx rate, into a fiasco of coercion for the remaining fraction; scandalously stalled or obstructed early treatment--theirs is a colossal, comprehensive PH failure.

I'm excited to share with you our recent @biorxivpreprint where we demonstrate that @vaxart mucosal Ad5 #SARSCoV2 vaccines not only protected against disease but also reduced transmission after post-#vaccination #SARSCoV2 infection in a hamster model. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… A🧵/
If you follow me, you are well aware of my obsession w/ #mucosalimmunity.😂Protection generated at mucosal surfaces is at the crux of one of the biggest questions we need to answer during this unique phase of the #pandemic - How do we decrease #SARSCoV2 #transmission to others.
Considering most of the world is unimmunized (including most kids <12), the possibility that a vaccinated individual with a post-vaccination infection (aka #breakthrough) can spread #SARSCoV2 is a public health risk. We need #transmissionblocking strategies.

We have been building homes in rural Haiti over the last year and have completed 8 of 15. In the recent earth quake, these homes survived. I’m just starting a gofundme so we can begin the next 7. I committed myself to share it by EOD. #tweet100 gofund.me/fe3a9846
2/ Check out the link! It’s the first time I’ve ever run such a drive so if anyone has experience or feedback I’d love to hear it. The project origins: At the beginning of the pandemic lockdowns in spring 2020 our family first had to adjust to the shock to our own lives..
3/ but as we adjusted to the change our next thought was our friends at @MPM_Haiti mpmhaiti.org. Years ago, when I was first wondering how to go about charitable giving my friend @matt_belcher said I should talk to his friend Christian, who co-founded the charity..
It's #airborne! '#SARSCoV2 is largely transmitted in airborne fashion via #aerosols, which people exhale, and which can remain in the air for long periods of time if a room is not well-ventilated.'

Read 'em for you. There are a number of not-surprising facts that these documents make clear. Our Public Health response was not guided by the best evidence available. Curious as to whether political interference and the interest of certain lobby groups played a role. (1/31)
"Monetary compensation for lost wages, trust in public health regulations and worry about infection was linked to increased intent to adhere to quarantine. However, stricter sanctions, higher fines and penalties for violators did not impact adherence." AB chose the former 2/31
The incubation period across all meta-analyses was an average or median of 5-7 days with the longest reported to be 32 days. There was some evidence the average incubation period may be longer for children and older adults. IMP: the 3 day isolation hotel is nonsensical. 3/31

The virus 🦠 SARS-CoV-2 can spread from an infected person’s mouth or nose in small liquid particles when they cough, sneeze, speak 🗣, sing 🎤, or breathe🧘🏻♀️.
[why mask needs to cover👃& 👄]
These particles range from larger respiratory droplets 💧 to smaller #aerosols 💦.

1 year ago I got infected w/ #SARSCoV2. I still haven't recovered. I'm not the same person. #LongCovid has fundamentally changed my view on other chronic diseases. I'm a @LongCovidCH advocate fighting for recognition, guidelines for diagnosis & management, & more research. 1/8
I believe most infections happen via #aerosols indoors. #SARSCoV2 is airborne. Measures like 1.5m distance, disinfection of surfaces, plexiglass separation are pathetic & give false security. Wearing the wrong masks or wearing them wrong or not at all is ignorant. #WearAMask 2/8
Children, adolescents & adults can get infected & transmit #SARSCoV2. About 10% of them will suffer from #LongCovid. Irrespective of age, gender, fitness level, health, comorbidities. Risk factors: being female, immunological sensitivity, higher BMI (apparently, not sure) 3/8
