The Urgency of Normal ala The Urgency of Demasking Children.

This was announced by @drlucymcbride on January 24th, and it has only one main action - to make school masking optional.

This thread will show you why McBride is arguing in bad faith - through her own life and words. Image
As we all know, kids are typically in lesser quality masks. Do they, the UoN, advocate for better quality masks? No. Just back to school with NO masks.

But per McBride's MOSHPIT, masks, ventilation, and talking are important to prevent CoVid.

She's quite proud of her ability to talk to her patients to help their mental health! We should all be so lucky to be able to talk at length to our doctor!

Of course, you will be paying $1,800/ year for the ability to JUST talk to McBride.

foxhallinternists.com/prime/ Image
Mental health IS important though - and that's one of the 'features' of the UoN toolkit.

So, it's a little disconcerting to see McBride muting
noted suicidologist, emergency psychiatrist, and pharmacologist, Dr. Black.

She was muting him because @NewsHour from @PBS had Image
had her on uncritically.

Here's his thread pointing out the very many issues with UoN from the mental health perspective - please give it a retweet, and give him a follow!



Here's the web archived version of his thread .

web.archive.org/web/2022013017…
Were those the only criticisms of McBride's work?

No. @DrPoorman (please give her a follow, too!) had an excellent number of points to make here:


Of interest, you'll note that McBride had muted that chat - which was their kick-off webinar.

Someone she
can't mute is the 67,000+ pediatricians from the @AmerAcadPeds, who have unequivocally stated IN COURT that universally masking for kids is good.

This was in an amicus brief opposing other UoN members.

At this point, you are probably thinking - "Hey - you said life."

@drlucymcbride is advocating taking away YOUR child's mask while doing so from a $3.3 million house in the heart of Washington DC.

From a position of wealth and power we will never have.

Let me show you.
She is married to a top international trade attorney in Washington DC, making over $1 million per year, employed at bassberry.com and working REMOTE.

She lives somewhere in this neighborhood - a bucolic neighborhood rated very highly for walkability and low crime. Image
She lives in a house designed by DC architect royalty.

This is NOT her house, but similar to her house.
dc.urbanturf.com/articles/blog/…

Below is a description of her actual home.

This is important to show that she is advocating for removing masks while punching down. Image
I almost hesitated at bringing her kids into the discussion.

But they are very relevant as she talks about them all the time in her advocacy.

Her kids go to literally the most expensive schools in America.

Both sons attend or attended St. Albans:
businessinsider.com/most-expensive…. ImageImageImage
St. Albans for normal day school?

$51,000+/ year.

stalbansschool.org/admissions/fin…

Her daughter goes to National Cathedral - a cool $51,000+/ year.

ncs.cathedral.org/admission/tuit….

And what does money buy you?

Masks. Ventilation and Filtration. Testing. We should be so lucky. ImageImage
HEPA air cleaners in every room. Masks still required.

Here's a sample:
stalbansschool.org/important-heal….

Having checked out the respective schools' facebook, Twitter, and websites? While a few are in cloth masks or KN95's?

Most are in KF94 or N95. Image
Wealth and power in America gives you access to time to get your vaccinations. Gives you access to knowledge and the money to apply that knowledge.

Buy those top of the line HEPA's. No #corsirosenthal boxes for these elites. But I have to say I find it ironic that our
#corsirosenthal boxes are outperforming most of what they've purchased.

So, maybe money can't buy everything.

But it certainly lets UoN be self-funded.

Let's take a further look at McBride's credentials.
Extensively published on psychiatry, mental health, masking, public health measures, or pediatrics?
scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&…

Doesn't appear to be so.

"Dr. McBride practices general internal medicine with special interests in the long-term management of hypertension,
heart disease, lipid disorders, and diabetes."

Interesting. What does CoVid do? Cause hypertension, heart disease, lipid disorders, and diabetes?

You nailed it.

A slight conflict of interest would you not say?

What does she tweet about?
Interesting - mostly masks, covid, and kids. (The bigger the circle, the more times she's tweeted about those topics). Image
Here's another more granular view. Sure seem to tweet a lot about masks.

I'm known to be a mask nerd. I can cite the various types of tests used to test IPE and OPE.

Can read through a mask mandate study and instantly see the flaws.

If you did a report on me? Image
You would actually probably see a similar pattern.

But I am not wealthy. Not powerful. I am simply immunocompromised.

My life literally depends on preventing transmission on of CoVid for everyone.

That is my conflict of interest.
One thing that I am not conflicted about?

@drlucymcbride is a wealthy dilettante who is living in a very expensive glass house.

When I do these threads? I always do extensive deep research.

"COVID IS OVER, YOU DON'T NEED THAT!"

Reason 4,657 on why I mask now that I understand aerosols and transmission. It's not all about COVID.

This is Chicago, but it's really Anytown, USA. Image

They think wrong ( this is not a subtweet at Dr. Johnson).

How do we know TB is airborne?

71 guinea pigs gave their lives between 1956 and 1958 in the eponymous study by Riley et al, getting TB air piped in from some TB patients, to prove TB is airborne.

Influenza is kind of airborne per most doctors. But kind of not.

So....

We need some volunteers.

Will horses be those volunteers that finally lay it all out?

Yes - but none of them lost their lives.

Air samplers were deployed and tracked horses inoculated with Equine influenza virus (EIV).

From the very first day post inoculation (dpi), until the Image
12th day, EIV was found in the air, in this new study.

With no horses, or guinea pigs, hurt in the process.



But sure, influenza's not airborne - if you are the USDA, right, @nirav_maine?

Of course, yet another new study points an accusatorysciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Thank you @BarryHunt008 for flagging this.

@ThailandMedicaX, retweeted by some because of their controversial takes (ahem, their lies?), is saying that FAR-UVC is dangerous because somehow the light will get into the lungs.

Lol.

They are just apparent supplement grifters.

🧵 Image
I noticed they were using @NukitToBeSure's excellent torches as their example picture.

Strange to be so selective of an example picture for someone purporting to be an independent news source on health.

Hmm. I helped defend Nukit against charges of Image
racism by a very nasty couple who it turned out just do not like UVC, personally. I wonder....

Yep, ThailandMedicalX has blocked me.

But, it's weird for a purported news source to block someone like me @gorskon
@doritmi @19joho.

And them blocking me, is probably because Image

You've heard of "The Three Problem." - great book, and excellent Netflix series.

If you want to be avoid catching Covid, you probably have "The Empty Room" situation in the back of your mind.

How long after a room had people in it, can you safely demask?

Thread.

Measles was thought to be airborne after a child caught measles an hour after the infected child left the same office.

.

Interestingly, you can see the reluctance in blue below to call measles airborne. Much like the WHO with @mvankerkhove researchgate.net/publication/19…In February 1981, a measles outbreak occurred in a pediatric practice in DeKalb County, GA. The source case, a 12-year-old boy vaccinated against measles at 11 1/2 months of age, was in the office for one hour on the second day of rash, primarily in a single examining room. On examination, he was noted to be coughing vigorously. Seven secondary cases of measles occurred due to exposure in the office. Four children had transient contact with the source patient as he entered or exited through the waiting room; only one of the four had face-to-face contact within 1 m of the source patient. The...
which spent millions to rebrand SARS2 as "through the air" rather than airborne.

It is an inconvenient truth that then leads us to the study showing an #EmptyRoom SARS2 infection at 1 hour and 43 minutes, and FOUR HOURS and FORTY-FIVE MINUTES.

In this study, it comes with Experimental evidence suggests that SARS-CoV-2 remains viable within aerosols with a half-life of approximately 1-3 hours, though changes in aerosol microenvironment may shorten viability to minutes. However, it remains unclear how long airborne SARS-CoV-2 can transmit infection. Whole genome sequencing of nasopharyngeal samples obtained from patients on an outbreak unit suggested in-room transmission of the delta variant, AY3 lineage, of SARS-CoV-2 to two patients admitted 1 hour, 43 minutes and 4 hours, 45 minutes after discharge of an asymptomatic infected patient. These findings suggest...

Mum's the word - if @SecKennedy is Mum.

You see, I have been a VERY FOCAL CDC critic. But you can't criticize without listening.

And I have been noticing that that the CDC has been very, very quiet.

NPR noticed as well. Image
This is crazy. Image
Yes, the @CDCgov has been deathly quiet.

90 times last year, versus 4 this year.

This is not MAHA.

This is MASA - Make America Silent Again.

And as one of the CDC's most focal critics? We NEED them to be sharing Public Health information. Image

Fit factor of 250- 4000 versus the normal 100-200 for an N95? Where do I sign up?

Oops, that's here. With me. Starting a build with an Ebay'd Bullard EVA PAPR's filter - and some DIY loving goodness of a heat gun and PVC pipes.

The benefit of this build will be the over 10
hour run-time of the massive battery on the PAPR.
Got a long dental appointment? This will be the answer.

Let's get cracking!
