This dude is just wild. If he weren't so influential, best just to ignore his theories about the mysterious, undiscovered properties of air to kill viruses.

2/ What gets me is that by invoking the idea of an undiscovered force in outdoor air that is killing airborne viruses, he is somehow trying to change the narrative & ignore his constant opposition to airborne transmission and that EVERYONE agrees that outdoor air is safer.
3/ Enclosed indoor spaces trap exhaled aerosols from diluting into bigger outdoor spaces. Bringing magical anti-virus outdoor air inside is NOT the point. Pushing viral aerosol out IS the point.

4/ In response, @jljcolorado:
"... he has been basically describing aerosols & droplets in ways that are completely inconsistent w/ current science & completely inconsistent with physics. So this is really a huge, worldwide problem that they refuse to listen to modern science."

5/ In response, @drajm:
"But what doctors are concerned about is that this reveals a pattern of really quite bizarre thinking that, at the front line, is having an effect on lack of protection for workers"

6/ Also @drajm:
".. public interest that someone who is so influential .. is pulled up when they advance a theory that has no basis in modern science.
It is beholden on those of us in leadership positions in this to only be discussing reasonable science & not crackpot theories."
