As I said. Airborne.
Official lettering font. Video is legit.
For anyone who doesn't know, this is from a hilarious set of commercials that played in the 90s, all with the same format of someone who provides very technical knowledge who turns out to know nothing, but who "stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night"

The business guys set was also very funny.

I get that same sound in my head when people say "droplet".

I believe the actual aired version of the first commercial renamed the virus, but can't recall what they called it. Virus X or some such. Anyway enjoy the series.
I have no idea whom to credit
Some people love their cats more than public health loves children

Another one for the pile.

Call me in two years when you haven't heard anything at all about this vaccine.

And how would it be administered. We take shots every morning?

We have nasal vaccines for flu btw. Still have flu.
But hey 250,000 views. If I wanted to sell books I might post stuff like this. 🤷
Hey here are some other ideas:

sun entering cooling phase which should obviate climate change.

Just bang the like button. That's all we're here for I guess. Let's all be irresponsible. 🤷

It's always funny to me that virologists get everything and transmission so wrong. I guess because they work with viruses they think they know everything about them. 🤷

The sad part is we would assume that because they work with viruses they know everything about them. Image
*everything about
Virologists don't really work on transmission. Maybe sometimes they spin a tub and flip some in the air or something. But they don't really know what's going on. And then the doctors know the biological clinical side of things but they don't work on transmission either.

COVID-19 took measles out back and absolutely SHOT IT DEAD.

1 sick player infected 100% OF BOTH HOCKEY TEAMS - 42 people - then another 102 spectators.

172 people in total.

You can watch it sweep the first team then the second team then the stands in the epi curves.

Wow.
A few sick kids at a doctor's office?

Pfft, measles, get out of here you weakly-transmitting pathetic cold of a virus. Even pre-vax you weren't doing this.

SARS-CoV-2 is absolutely mind-blowingly transmissible.

Imma help you with this "science speak"
Just remember the ladder of denial and elite panic myth means if you are hearing a 2 it's a 4. If a 4 it's a 6. If a 6 pack your bags. You'll never hear 8 and up the TV will just play static

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.

Hey, CDC. Stop testing the milk.

Start testing every single farmworker.

I dare you.
Well you can just do the ones on the farms where you found avian flu 😉
I guarantee you people would probably stop worrying about the milk if you did that.

So hey you're helping quash the panic! 😆
