Pandata Scientific Advisory Board - How it started on October 6, 2020!

Jay Bhattacharya!
Sunetra Gupta!
Martin Kulldorff!
Michael Levitt!

URL to board (now defunct):
pandata.org/scientific-adv…

Press Release:
web.archive.org/web/2021012620… Image
Then, 3 became 8! Bonus -Scott Atlas joined on January 1, 2021! What a way to start the new year!



Backed up (no games now, Abir...)
Image
January 14th! 9 members?! What!?

Would you believe that Karol Sikora joined?! So excited to be there with a Nobel winner!

Is his buddy, Carl Heneghan next!?

web.archive.org/web/2021011413… Image
So close to getting Heneghan! January 26th, the one and only most reputable Scott Jensen!

Kulldorff must be so proud to have Jensen right next to him. It's not like he works for the CDC on vaccines.

Or Jensen is antivax...

Uh oh, trouble in paradise on the same day! Pandata gets called out for being anti-vax.



Backup:


Interesting to note that stance is exactly Jensen's stance.

So, Karol Sikora resigns:
.
By February 25th, Paul Peterson of the Hoover Institute has joined! Yes! Two Hoovers with Scott Atlas!

April 19th, 2021. A sad day for all of us who really, really appreciate Pandata19's excellent data analysis.

Michael Levitt leaved it. Sorry - bad pun.

Levitt left. BECAUSE Pandata is anti-vax.


Backup.
April 20th, 2021.

Due to several resignations because Pandata19 is against vaccines, "(t)he role of the Scientific Advisory Board will be subsumed into the organisation."

Misspelling the last word of the existence of the Board.

"Why You'll be Wearing Masks Again"

from TIME magazine (May 18, 2009)."

You can zoom in and read it, but quick 🧵 of lessons NOT learned.

NOT🤬 LEARNED


Image

Image

Surgical mask for an airborne disease?

Lesson learned?

✅ CDC is recommending N95s for H5N1. But has no jurisdiction, so an easy recommend.

❌ CDC is not recommending masks, but handwashing to maximize attendance in schools and prevent transmission.

❌ But per their own document school closures pre-Covid were made up of 59% respiratory, 20% gastrointestinal. Why focus on the results from a study from the 2011-2013 period of time when Covid is by FAR the disease still in excess?

The study.

Not included in the below evisceration of the CDC?

This. The beginning of the Everyday Action document to protect the kids.

The BASIS of everything after.

A 🧵 of analysis you will not have read before. No studies.

Infections spread because of ....

cdc.gov/orr/school-pre…

Image
❌ shared objects? Do the objects spontaneously get dirty?

❌ Close contact with each other? If children stand next to each other, they are in close contact. Do they infect each other?

❌ Students playing close to each other, but not breathing each other's air, do they
infect each other?

Fortunately the CDC has spelled out the HOW of kids infecting each other.

Contact, spray & splashes, and inhalation👇.

Ah, @kprather88
@jljcolorado, you'll be pleased to see that droplets have now been renamed as spray and splashes.

A two week puke cruise from South Hampton to the Canary Islands with 3,077 other guests, 1,205 crew members, and 1 apparently greedy cruise ship company (?) -@pandocruises.

How does a 5 HOUR WAIT to call the ship doc sound?

H/t @FriedmanJas

pocruises.com/find-a-cruise/…

Image
The situation on the ship with capacity for 3,192 passengers was described as ‘terrible’ and ‘serious outbreak.’  The bug has allegedly plagued Ventura for more than a month, with staff thinking it was gone after each cruise before the bug returned to wreak more havoc among guests and some crew.  Guests allegedly face a five-hour wait to call the ship’s medical centre because of ‘so many cases.’
The norovirus outbreak has been going on for 5-6 WEEKS.

How does people throwing up in the public spaces sound?

How does 250, most def an undercount, infected passengers sound?

Ah, @pandocruises? Besides doing the deep cleaning? Image
Norovirus is airborne.

Why not offer your passengers and crew FFP2s/N95s, and suggest they eat outside - until the outbreak is over?

Or....bring in a bunch of HEPAs for the dining room? In between the tables? Plus the N95s.

Dr. Marr wrote this. I respect her immensely, but completely disagree on this topic.

- She does not know the ventilation/filtration of every airport. She does not know who was just sitting in that spot moments before you found it. Aerosol stability, physics of aerosols, Image
speed of ventilation/filtration all agree with me on this. The Australian Church study of 45 feet transmission facing away agrees.

- On airplanes - the Harvard Aviation Public Health Initiative (APHI) disagrees with her, indicating masks are necessary

abcnews.go.com/Politics/covid…
Image
- On coughing, she might not be aware of the 58% presymptomatic transmission.

-Overall, she might not be aware of the:
✅ 38% LongCovid risk after 3 infections.
✅ It only takes one virion to start a covid infection (tight transmission bottleneck).

We can disagree, but still

This is a 🧵 that cuts through this CDC school guidance like the thread used in Netflix show "The Three Body Problem."

Their guidance will cut down the kids just like were cut down in the show.
Let's start with their tweet. It provides a framework to evaluate their actions against their words.

- preventing spread of infectious diseases.
-benefiting ALL students.
-maximize school attendance.

Let's start with preventing spread.

-Maximize school attendance
While preventing disease
Benefits all students is highlighted
The single most efficacious way to prevent the spread of infectious diseases is wearing respirators, as they stop both near and far field aerosols.

Are they mentioned in the intro page linked to? No. Masks are, but are buried.

People are logical.
cdc.gov/media/releases…

Teach and reinforce proper hand washing and respiratory etiquette. Take steps for cleaner air by improving ventilation in schools. Schools should consider ventilation enhancements and design when undergoing remodeling or when undertaking new building construction to optimize clean air. Clean, sanitize, and disinfect, when appropriate. Promote vaccinations for students and staff.

These folks refuse to give good real-life advice on how to clean up Hantavirus droppings.

And here we go - a shed with pressed board flooring and mouse droppings.

If I mop? Floor gets ruined.

If I blow it out with safety goggles and an N95 on?

Safely clean. And I

didn't have to pull everything out to get it done.

Real world aerosol-based solution versus a laboratory fomite-based solution.

@WADeptHealth - join us in the real world where viruses are airborne via aerosols - THROUGH THE AIR.

Or don't and let me gain followers by pointing
out your many many mistakes.

I would prefer to have no followers, and you putting out aerosol-based solutions.

But until then...thank you for being yet another useful tool to let me "gain clout."
