This is now the 4th study to culture virus from air samples, which is what the IPC and ID community wanted.

There have been ZERO for measles.



Yet, measles is airborne based on 2 epi studies.

Let's review why CoVid is airborne.

Measles was declared airborne based on 2 epi studies. TWO.

CoVid has so many rock solid epi studies.

Here are just a few.

Australian church...video proof, 45 feet awy, FACING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION


Quarantine hotel...video proof
Bus transmission study.


Restaurant:


The meeting:


One of the most compelling was an outbreak in apartment complex in South Korea, in which only residents living in apartments connected by a common
ventilation shaft were infected. All 7 affected apartments (out of a total of 200) were located along the vertical line of the shaft, suggesting a stack effect carried virus-laden aerosols into residents’ bathrooms.10

South Korean Call Center
wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26…

And just so many, many more.
Namely, CoVid is airborne.

But phrased in an appropriately subtle way for, I believe, the very first time in a study.

From the intro:
"SARS-CoV-2 was originally considered to spread primarily by droplet and direct contact [1,2,3]. "

Was.

A massive shot across the bow.
Then what does Santarpia do?

Goes straight for the airborne jugular.

"In order to classify an infectious disease as airborne, studies must show transmission via aerosol particles. "

And quite cleverly, lays out the particle size argument....and appropriately dismisses it.
And furthermore, lays out what DOES need to be found:

❓1- "Infectious aerosol that is small enough to be transported to and inhaled by another person must be produced by ill individuals"

❓2 -"The infectious aerosol must be stable long enough to expose another person;"
❓ 3- "If inhaled, the viral aerosol must be capable of causing infection"
And points outs that
✅ 1 - Small enough - done twice:
scholar.google.com/scholar_lookup…

And

scholar.google.com/scholar_lookup…

✅ 2 - Infectious, viable SARS-COV-2 has been shown to last several hours in the air. Twice.
scholar.google.com/scholar_lookup…

And
nature.com/articles/s4137…

And epi studies:
✅-3 - Would those aerosols be capable of infection? Yes -

"the primary receptor of SARS-CoV-2 for infection is understood to be ACE2 [23], which is expressed throughout the human respiratory tract, indicating that inhalation would be a compatible route of infection."
So, #CoVidIsAirborne.

But is that all? No.

A direct call to IPC/IPAC organizations and @OSHA_DOL to protect all workers with appropriate airborne PPE.

Period.

AIRBORNE PPE is NOT cloth masks. It is NOT surgical masks.

N95 or better.

Someone in the 7 Oaks School of Ontario IPC, like @zchagla, @DocDominik, @HotaSusy, @BogochIsaac @skepticalIDdoc has gone anonymous.

Remember - that group personally signed affidavits saying surgical masks are good enough to de-N95 nurses, who went on to die ....
At greater numbers than the population.

Who were sentenced to lives of LongCovid.

It all started in March of 2020, when the 7 Oaks School of Ontario IPC signed a nasty, but quiet, little petition to deny airborne precautions. Image
Then they signed those nasty little affidavits,with two fingers crossed I am presuming, in April of 2021.

Deliberately to demask the nurses. Image

Guess what?

In the next pandemic, these "RCT or STFU" worshippers plan on sacrificing you on the alter of RCTs.

This is Dr. Atle Fretheim 👇 talking about how they attempted to get masks randomized from his government.

And thankfully, shot down.

Image
But they have figure out "this one weird trick!"

They are working on getting pre-approval from the WHO for what is called their "Master Protocols 👇," to then help smooth the way with their local government.

This is not an idle thing. Atle specifically used air filtration 👇@kprather88 @jljcolorado, as his example of a desired subject to give half of the class clean air in the beginning of a pandemic.

When we are MOST trying to stop the spread!

AVERAGE CO2 in the dead space below an N95? 1-3% - or 10,000 to 30,000 ppm. Scary?

No. You see that's the average.

Humans have focused on average or peak exhalations/waveforms.

We haven't studied the LOW POINT with capnography.

We have done it with simulations. Image
There are no published experimental (human) capnography studies inside N95 dead space that show the CO₂ dropping down as low as ~0.4% within a single exhalation. Human trials typically measure peak or average values rather than full breath waveforms.
As you can see, the amount of CO2 in the N95 goes down.

Why? Because the air around us has so much less CO2. When we inhale, it mixes with that high CO2.

Dilution and diffusion both at play.
journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…Image
As all of us who has ever worn a mask/N95, which is most of the world, knows, we don't suffer the effects of inhaling 30,000 ppm all day.

Lets look at this a different way.

What if we were in a room with huge CO2? That's what antimaskers are implying is going on.

How NOT to Science. A time travel thread and magic.

This is Helmut Traindl - the engineer who devised the procedure behind Walach CO2 study that was retracted after 16 days:
jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap…

Then, republished by Dr. Domingo just 6 months later.
sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Image
@RetractionWatch had an interesting write-up on how it was republished by Dr. Domingo.

It rings of plausible deniability. Except it smells vaguely of bad faith.

retractionwatch.com/2022/08/01/one…Image
Turns out that @TecnATox was founded, and is directed by Dr. Domingo.

You'll be hearing from me, Dr. Domingo - and a rather lot more people, once I get done writing all of this up.

You see, I found the pilot video.

So, in your apartment or hotel, we saw below how its heated facade, or front, could drive your downstairs neighbor cough into your lungs.

Let's step inside your living room now, and step forward in time to winter.

What happens if your sick neighbor is seated in that living /1
room?

Where is the worst place for them to be seated if you have your heat coming from a heat register up on the wall?

Next to your cold window.

The cold air cools your sick neighbor's exhaled infectious air, and drives it to the ground.

Where it sidles along until Image
Image
you and your family's bodies' thermal plumes pick up that air, and lifts it up to your faces to be breathed in.

Or....to put this in another way....if you go to a coffee shop as I like to do, and you see someone coughing next to a cold window? Do not dawdle.

Leave.

I looked at your thread @moog77 . The reason that epidemiological didn't work (cases continued to go up)? Is the same reason the 2023 Cochrane fails, ironically, after you touted it as the "gold standard."

Not because clean air doesn't reduce cases. It empirically does. It
just doesn't do it where it's not being applied.

What do I mean?

2023 Cochrane "the gold standard" - for community masking is based on a few studies.

One is Alfelali (2020) set in the Haji season
