This thread is intended to hold up a mirror to the World Health Organization.

If a disease is airborne, does it make a sound?
If the World's Public Health Organization recognizes CoVid as airborne, does it make a sound? (Psst - it's airborne!)

Or does it release it quietly 2 days before Christmas?

Let's take a tour of the WHO's official announcements that CoVid is Airborne.

There was none - functionally.

It was released the week before Christmas.

Quietly.
December 21, 2021, @DrMikeRyan put out this video from the WHO account:

Where he never uses the word airborne.

December 22, 2021. @PeterASinger, special advisor to Dr. Tedros, releases this quiet statement regarding update to mode of transmission.

Let me stress how grateful I am that the WHO finally recognized #CoVidisAirborne.

Since then, have we

seen a huge media push from the WHO?

No.

And the effects of that lack? Are noticeable.

We continue to see the most of the field of IPC (with the notable exceptions of @VicLeungIDdoc @EvonneTCurran @eliowa @kalisvar ) continue to insist that CoVid is not airborne.
We see this play out in hospitals across the world.

With surgical masks being deployed as clinically equivalent to N95's/ FFP2/ FFP3.

We also see this play out in public health departments around the world.

WHO -> Country CDC -> State/ Province Public Health -> County/
District Public Health Department.

In YOUR local department, do YOU see them saying CoVid is airborne?

No.

We need more from the WHO. They should be saturating the airwaves.

I should be sick of seeing "CoVid is airborne" in all the WHO twitter accounts I follow.
Here's the mirror that I mentioned - I wanted to be very careful to give credit where credit is due.

@DirOPSPAHO - kudos for being the only WHO regional director whose official Twitter account, @pahowho, has said CoVid is airborne.

@doctorsoumya - chief scientist, but tweeting in her personal capacity per her profile page

Counts. But doesn't actually count. (Still thank you!)

@DrTedros - anything he says from Twitter is official. Not tweeting in personal capacity.

Has not corrected the below tweet. And yes - the WHO has corrected tweets before.

I have the receipts.

My apologies - there's no nuance anymore. CoVid is airborne. And we are still not ready.

The official @WHO account.

@takeshi_kasai's @WHOWPRO has not said #CoVidIsAirborne - nor corrected the tweet below.

You'll notice that TB is clearly labelled as airborne below this tweet.

Dr Poonam Khetrapal Singh's @WHOSEARO has NOT said #COVIDisAirborne. Nor corrected the below tweet.

@MoetiTshidi's @WHOAFRO has NOT said #CovidIsAirborne. Has said TB is.

Dr Ahmed Al-Mandhari's @WHOEMRO has NOT said #COVIDisAirborne

@hans_kluge's @WHO_Europe has NOT said #COVIDisAirborne

At the start of every disaster movie, there's a scientist that's ignored.

Turns out there's also a World Health Organization that can easily let the world know loudly that CoVid is airborne. Image
Or not.

I have a new thing to say to why I mask.

Ronald Reagan, Michael J Fox, Robin Williams, Lou Gehrig, Bruce Willis.

Alzheimer's, Parkinsons, Lew Body Dementia, ALS, CJD

All of them are dying or are dead from - the common cold.

You see,
One of the main viruses that results in the cold is a virus called OC43.

And it turns out that it's neuroinvasive - and is strongly associated with all of those diseases.

Even though it's just a cold in the beginning. So, those are 5 really bad diseases that I am protecting
myself from.

Kind of like HIV is often just like a cold or a mild case of flu in the beginning.

So, yeah, I mask so I don't catch a cold.

Or Covid - which is also neuroinvasive, and let me tell you all about the horrible things it does to your body much quicker....

Safer showering and swimming with great breathability!

Others have used a snorkel w/ N95s - but those then collapse around the snorkel, and breathability is more restricted. This new approach is w/ an internal BRACE!

I took a shower with this, and it worked perfectly. Build 🧵 Image
This is a great technique, but I was looking for something with more breathability.

Image
This is the internal brace, and how the magic happens.

My subconscious must have picked this up from surgical mask braces that go under surgical masks.

So, here's the build. Image

Got bored. Let's just check out Google Scholar and E Coli. Oh my. Oh my, that's not good.

Yes, yet another episode of "that's airborne, TOO?!!!!!"

THREAD
Pigs:
"Airborne E. coli were isolated from indoor air,....and downwind air samples (10, 50, 100, 200 and 400 m away) for five swine houses" (1)

Cows:
"E. coli was isolated in both inside and outside air, even in samples taken 150 m from the farm." (2)

READY FOR THE FUN ONES?
Restaurants:
"E coli was identified as the most prevalent illness-causing bacteria in Zone A-derived aerosols (721 CFU)"
(3)
Hospital:
"The results also showed that airborne bacterial pathogens were present in all the sampled hospital wards." (4)

Ready for another fun one?

Pope Francis passed - R.I.P.

He died from not masking.

Not masking led him to getting polymicrobial respiratory infection (multiple pathogens) on 2/6/2025, leading to bronchitis, to bilateral pneumonia, a respiratory event
- leading to stroke and cardiac arrest.
Timeline here:

Why didn't he mask? The peer pressure must have been enormous. Even those who know better often don't mask out of fear of social castigation.

And that's why mask mandates work so well. They allow people to mask if they want to.

And those who don't want to? Won't. But...

This links to the article from March 27th, 2025, with Trump saying it was so nice of a reporter to be wearing a mask.

There's a video of him on this page.

President Donald Trump stopped answering San Francisco Chronicle Washington correspondent Shira Stein, @shiramstein, to comment on her wearing a COVID mask in the Oval Office, remarking, “You’re wearing a mask! So nice of you!” SHIRA STEIN: Mr. President, you said you want to return education control to the states, how would you handle it if a state like California were to put in place education policies that you don’t agree with? PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: You know, I haven’t seen a mask in so long! You’re wearing a mask! So nice of you! I haven’ seen anybody wearing a mask in a long time. It’s good. You feel more comfortable, right? SHIRA STEIN: Yes. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Good. That’s good. So go ahead. SHIRA STEIN: You said you want to return education control to the states. How would you handle it if a sta...
Our faces, our health.

And we choose to mask.

Ms. Stein was later singled out by Marjorie Taylor Greene in her for wearing a mask.

Very insulting, at first. But, after Ms. Stein pointed out she was immuncompromised (also having had a stroke, higher risk), she

Trump is trying to distract from the economy. He just pumped out the Lab Leak from the official whitehouse.gov website.

Simultaneously making masking advocacy both more difficult and easier.

The Shrodinger Presidency. If only he had.... /+

Of course I don't wish him dead in a box. That is against Twitter's TOS.

But, anyway, what do I mean? On the one hand, pointing out that Covid is probably a bioweapon means that you can point out the silliness of not protecting yourself against it.

On the other hand, this: Image
Which, of course, is silly as workers in BSL2-4 labs wear N95s and better to protect against bioweapons.

Heh. I can tell an antimasker wrote that because they screwed up the logic on it.

Mask mandates do NOT equate masks.
