So the droplet people said viruses travel in droplets only. Two metres.

But ... How would that work? And nobody could cite support.

I got suspicious.

A thread.

I looked for something that proved droplet and found nothing.

That's right, not a single atudy proves droplet transmission.

But I could find a lot proving things airborne:

I looked for the origin of droplet and found it was some guy's guess ... in 1912.

I found that im the 1930s droplet theory had been ripped apart:

They say droplets fall on things and you touch them. I actually looked for support for fomites, and found little.

They said only TB, measles, and chickenpox was airborne

I found many more

I also found TB, measles, and chickenpox all used to be considered droplet before they were considered airborne

1. TB

2. Measles

3. Chickenpox

And

And then I rolled it all up. All by January 2021.

Even the WHO, trying to prove droplet, ended up accidentally proving things are airborne

What a farce.

P.S.

It's been proven, in fact.

In short:



If I could figure this out, enough people knew or could do so as well.

They didn't, likely because of panic myth and ego.

Sad.

Later, in October 2021, I put together all the airborne review articles that I could find.

These are overview articles, not studies, meaning they're chalk full of studies.

There were more than I expected.

Then here's a bonus thread about denial and panic myth.

If you liked this thread donate to my Subs--oh I don't have.

Ah, follow me on YouT--hmm don't have that either.

Okay then, give my boss a tag and get me a rais--oh, can't get one of those.

Well, I guess just wear an N95 and be safe then.

Oh thought of something you could go read our history of airborne etc. Disclosure: I am a coauthor. @jljcolorado spearheaded it. Follow him too.

On the denial point:

Oh this thread is fun

I ended up banging out a very brief summary of airborne transmission from 1850 to 2024, here:

I just noticed "chock full" in one of my old posts was auto corrected to "chalk full".

This makes me think of clapping chalk eraser brushes in school; the clouds of chalk dust would float quite a while.

Well, those particles were much larger than particles containing viruses...
