Railing against government and vaccinations ain't new.

From 1893.

Per this fellow, smallpox vaccine was a lie. Promised 100% protection, but people still caught it!

Per him, it was just a big set-up by the rich! Big Pox, he'd likely have called it, if today.
Per him, everyone interested in vaccines got paid. It was all about the pounds.
Per him, The Times was full of lies.
Per him, death certificates had been faked. (Shout out Florida!)
In response, pointed out to him that medicine stood to gain more letting the epidemic run than selling vaccines

[ed. interesting argument, that]
Response continues with a series of statistics showing smallpox death 2000/1,000,000 dropped to 80 or so / 1M after vaccination if strictly enforced.
And then, this

**absolutely brilliant gem**

that small-pox in the air.
Anyway I have things to do but you see, the wheel turns, and everything old is new again.

From 1893.

Virus is in the air and moves like smoke.

Has anyone worked up the ladder of denial for bird flu?

- We have not found bird flu.

- We have found bird flu in one bird. There is no evidence of bird to bird transmission.
- We have found bird flu in many birds and there is bird to bird transmission but it has not moved to other mammals.

- We have found bird flu in a cow. However, we have not found evidence of cow to cow transmission.

- We have now found bird flu in many cows.
- We have now found evidence of cow to cow transmission but we do not know how this is happening.

- We found some bird flu in the milk. You should not worry because this might not be live virus. However, for some reason, we now think milk is the vector of transmission.

I'm so fed up with people taking the WHO seriously.

This is from 2014. Image

They already said "airborne" although they had said long-range (throw back to 1910, by the way)

But wait for it Image

Wow they buried the lead.

COVID might be up to an R0 of 24, eating measles for breakfast. Image
Very comparable at median of 11 to measles, which is probably 9 to 12.

Anyway from p. 19 iris.who.int/handle/10665/3…
And measles from much much older reports...

Somewhere I posted an article that looked at how they arrived at 12 to 18 and concluded it was more like 9 to 12. Probably on the low end too.

For anyone reading this, he means "Airborne" as in the three viruses that require Airborne precautions.

Those are _defined_ as TB, measles and chickenpox.

They are "airborne" because they are "Airborne."

It is totally ludicrous, yes.
It means negative pressure rooms and N95s, which is why they desperately do not want COVID to be called "Airborne".
This is why, during SARS, when a roomful of Canadian doctors and nurses got sick even though they were using "Droplet precautions" (I'll capitalize) - that is, medical masks - they invented AGMP, so they could explain how a droplet virus infected people using Droplet Precautions.

⚠️Please people.

We are no longer calling it "fire".

It is "potentially harmful chemical combustion energy output".
This of course means the fire department will be renamed as well.

It will be called the "organization for the suppression of potentially harmful chemical combustion energy output situations."
And please do not ask them to get your cat out of your tree. They will not understand.

It is an "affective feline mammal trapped in a heightened potential energy state of arboreal origin."

@mvankerkhove @CIDRAP @WHO Thanks.

Seems most health care locations (in Ontario) ignore the WHO. That's too bad.

This is December 2020 for anyone who wants it.
