Love that this post got 4,000 quotes critical of it and only a paltry 360 or so likes.

Too many "workers" at home. Not human beings. Or people.

You're literally expendible, for your work product.
"Mission Accomplished"
("mission accomplished", as in, mission most definitely not accomplished)
Sorry if I confused with the original "Mission Accomplished". I was using it in the GWB way:

The people who wanted to propagate the "droplet" vs airborne fiction got lucky until now.

1. The serious diseases like Ebola, which is also in the air, always necessitated N95s anyways because they were so serious.
2. And for many other diseases like flu RSV rhinovirus adenovirus etc, (which are in the air), droplet precautions weren't doing anything.

BUT, people don't typically die in great numbers from these viruses.
So, nobody really cared.

For serious diseases the severity scared people into wearing top protection.

And for the lesser diseases, it didn't matter to those in charge. They could get away with "droplet" despite they probably knew it was airborne.

Dear @j_g_allen,

I just had a chance to read this piece.

It's chock full of conclusions about safety and risk of the spread of COVID-19.

Can you lay out cost/benefit calculations for why ending masks before vaccinations, for ex? You just say risk is low in the piece.
Can you please let me know why you say everyone will catch delta? (Pic below)

This is an incorrect but commonly repeated idea. For example not everyone caught the 1918 flu. Nor measles (pre-vax). Or chickenpox, over a lifetime, now.

Thanks.
This part (pic) made no sense to me at all.

Can you describe what you mean by "reckless adults"? You are suggesting kids ought not pay for their transgressions, but who are they and what are they doing?

Or was this just loaded language?

No actually.

It's because the infection was probably airborne and they were wiping surfaces.
He's not talking about COVID-19.

Neither am I.

Lots of other things in hospital air. They make you sick when you go in to get better.

Left side of each picture: air filter off.
Right side: air filter on.
1. When I visit the hospital I am glad they do not serve me well water from the well out back.

I might catch cholera.

2. When I visit the hospital I am sad they make me breathe the unfiltered air of my sick neighbours.

I catch RSV/flu/name your bug.

You see, you can't win.

1. You lockdown (to save hospitals anyway), they say "you're killing the economy".

2. NZ avoids COVID for a year, they say "NZ wasted billions now that they have some cases". Although NZ economy was just fine this past year.

It's all trolling.
NZ stayed positive
US (example) negative 4%

Ah the usual suspects say no elimination because it's only been achieved for smallpox and "a cattle virus".

What she doesn't say is that the "a cattle virus" is rinderpest, measles' cousin.

Also, side note, rinderpest transmitted by "air", as even Wikipedia knew. Image
Also, in terms of mellowing, measles guessed to have split from rinderpest in ~600 BC

yet in 2600 years, rinderpest never mellowed for cattle because its mortality was around 100% in ~ 2000 AD

& measles didn't seem to have mellowed for us humans in 2000yrs either Image
Anyway just noting the disingenuous phrasing referring to measles' cousin as "a cattle virus" to make the point that its something to be brushed off and not relevant to anything grounded in reality.

Good PR, but it's PR.

So much for unbiased evidence-based "experts"

@jvipondmd Dude I've walked through construction sites and never got hit with a brick, so we know paper party hats are protective.
We also asked workers repeatedly, incessantly, almost to the level of harassment, and in the end they admitted they took the party hats off in the break room
/s
@jvipondmd In fact, we looked at April to June 2020 where there was no brick work being done on the construction site, and there were 5500 hours of workers in paper party hats, and yet not one got hit with a brick. I have an email testifying to that, which I wrote myself, as proof /s
@jvipondmd But no, you cannot look at our records, and if you found someone who during that period got hit with a brick, they definitely got hit at home, even though we don't test bricks, and it's kind of weird because construction sites have more bricks and bricklayers than homes.
