Woo hoo! Citizen science! Concerned citizen succeeds in swaying decades of aerosol science and the great Fauci! #FauciEmails
Reminder of what the science actually said back then, though even Dr. Fauci appears not to have taken the time to read up on the growing understanding that respiratory aerosols (0.1-1.0 micron, med 0.28) were the driver of flu & other respiratory viruses
If this email doesn't show how badly Dr. Fauci misunderstands the behavior and volume of aerosols, and research on flu for the prior 12 years, don't know what does. No wonder he recommended cloth masks.
Dentists know that surgical masks don't protect from COVID-19, and other viruses, but the CDC doesn't... (or Dr. Fauci)
Wherein the danger of fomites is raised above the risk of aerosols, via mechanistic, and you guessed it, modeling studies. Why don't they ever follow these up with studies with actual people, and naturally generated aerosols?
Wait, on April 3rd, Dr. Fauci says we should all be wearing masks, but tells a hospital administrator to keep the policy for employees voluntary on April 16th? So confusing.
All the problems of the "protect everyone" approach we adopted in one email. Speaking on behalf of the home care industry, she advocates lowering PPE thresholds for Cv-19 caregivers. Meaning that caregiver, and other clients they serve will be infected. So many better solutions.

The suicide of the elites.

This was an invited guest, yet Stanford DEI admin ginned up so much fury about his visit that she closed her PREPARED & PRACTICED remarks with “I don’t look out & say, ‘what is going on here?’ I look out & say ‘I’m glad this is going on here.’”

2/
By ginning up this fury, she ensured these students would not join w/an open mind. She robbed them of the oppty to hear an opposing argument articulately stated. Was that the plan? That if exposed w/o being prejudiced these LAW students might find the rationale compelling?
3/
Stanford and other institutions are of course free to mold their students in this manner. It will backfire. This kind of behavior is toxic for workplaces, and the only reason people esteem places like Stanford is b/c you get better jobs w/more certainty.

Chickenpox vax doesn’t stop infection, DOES mostly prevent disease. You need a booster (after ~4 yrs). Developed 1974 ➡️ on US vax schedule in '96.

COVID vaxes don’t stop infection OR DISEASE. Boosters ~4mos. Developed in 2021--ACIP voting tomorrow (2022) to add to sched.
2/
Would you get the chickenpox vax if you still got chicken pox--seemingly more frequently than people who didn't? Probably not.

Even as it is, the chickenpox vax isn't recommended in the UK. Because it doesn't stop infection, and chickenpox not a bad disease for most. Image
3/
Yet ACIP is voting tomorrow to add this to the US kids' vax schedule, despite being disallowed for administration in children in many European countries. The safety signal is atrocious. The benefits--especially for children--non-existent.

I see a lot of stuff now about whether fascism is left or right. It doesn't really matter.

Totalitarian mechanics are always the same--terror, isolation, atomization--they just have different motivating ideologies. The results are the same, whether Bolshevik, Nazi, Maoist.
2/
We fail to recognize this new threat as totalitarian, because it lacks the charismatic leader that we are used to--no hitler, no mao.

But the totalizing nature of the ideology, the inversion of reality to suit the ideology and so many more are unquestionable hallmarks.
3/
I can't recommend strongly enough Hannah Arendt's "The Origins of Totalitarianism". It's dense, but you will find so much of what she describes (the last third is most pertinent), describes what we are experiencing--just without the leader.

The authors of this newest mask study acknowledge that masked districts exempted masked close contacts (all) from testing, but still claim it is legitimate. Let’s explore.

2/
But as usual, the opposite is true. We looked at data from more than 20 million kids, and found that masked districts missed 3x more days of school last year, than mask-optional.

Let’s see how big a difference it makes that the masked districts DON'T test masked contacts.

In this CDC study, all were masked, yet each child infected 0.66, each teacher 3 additional people. ALL would be EXCLUDED from testing in this study.

Effective immediately, I am withdrawing my candidacy. In search of normal, will be relocating to Austin, TX. This move is 100% due to the policies of the last 2 yrs.

We have no faith in the political and cultural leadership of this state.

We have been unable to protect our children from the shrapnel of fear emanating from the media & Beacon Hill.

Our kids are set to be un-masked on 2/28. But I can't trust that. All it will take to undo, is a louder, more potent constituency making its demands known.
3/
So, we are leaving. Despite living here for nearly 20 years—longer than any other place we have lived.

18 months ago, I thought this was impossible, from a professional and real estate perspective. But necessity is the mother of invention.
