What errors have we made?

Oh, let's whip up a quick thread.

Tired of this.
Starting with all the things said that I want proof of

JAMA article full of fallacies, to defend droplet. Consider them examples. Some are still being repeated.

Naysaying on all points.

Aerosol bingo/why studies thrown out thread.

The 1981 study that "proved" 6 feet ... in little babies ... thread.

Public health blaming people not following advice.

Masks said not to work, but in 2015 were said TO work, thread.

Stupid touch guidance.

We don't release where outbreaks happen, error.

Why no initiative? Errors.

15 minute rule is just totally made up

The public understands it better than some experts ...

Guidance is a dog's breakfast because of this misguided droplet nonsense.

Then we'll see moving goalposts ...

All kinds of errors in citations ... some deliberate.

We didn't learn what we could from similar viruses, including the older coronas

Short rant about the facile dismissal of evidence against droplets. That's annoying. And also has been deadly.

RCTs demanded, they are not the only form of evidence.

Why are these errors being made? Who knows. A few guesses.

Ever using language like used in the video referred to was a huge error. Then almost immediately walked back.

Hmm. Asking for specific examples of situations where virus transmitted when people not wearing masks. First of all, asking a lawyer in private practice? How is the lawyer to know the answer to this?

This is why politics is broken. This is stupid theatre.
And there's the answer, population data shows masks work but of course you cannot show individual cases (because we cannot track virus entering body and causing infection).

Thank you for the clean-up.

Wu Lien-teh in 1917 saying it is clear that plague infested marmots infect each other through their breath.

Modern PH/ID/IPAC would say "cannot extrapolate from marmots to humans" but we know what I think of that nonsense, disproven repeatedly

Some public health truths, in the guise of a joke.

A short thread in seven parts.
ONE

Virus is not airborne. We know. trust us on this.
TWO

So, wash hands. There's no real proof of respiratory viruses travelling by fomite, but it's our story.

Not a single N95 or higher.
Alberta's public health in some deep denial.

Imagine if the nuclear industry behaved like this? It would be righteous outrage for decades.

Why do we put up with this when it's public health?
You don't need a lead suit: a lead wristband is good enough protection. Radiation falls straight to the ground.

Oh, radiation burns? You weren't wearing the wristband properly.

Very few kids get irradiated, they tend not to get very sick, and they only get irradiated at home.

Chapin 1912.

Talking about droplets and airborne. To him "airborne" meant long-range as in many kilometers. Droplet could be through the air more than 1 or 2 m. Plus, he said study it more! We have failed to do that.

Quick thread.
12 foot droplets? I guess they shrunk over the years.

Also, ring worm may be through air.
Page 281. Plague. Droplets means through air over distance, but not long-range.

Note that MASKS WORKED.

Yes let's keep arguing with over educated desk jockey doctors over who needs to prove the cost of pandemic measures.

Meanwhile, pic attached. I assign it a value of a trillion.

Can we treat the situation as serious now?
Me: The building's on fire. Water!

Dr: No. Water has a cost that you must calculate before you get any.

Me: But it's obvious it's far less than the fire!!

Dr: Oh, foolish lay person. Medicine is evidence-based now.

Me: Wait, but YOU didn't have to calc-

[building collapses]
I now assign the cost of the pandemic a value of one hundred trillion dollars.

Serious yet?
