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.

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.

@DrTomFrieden - do you endorse the #urgencyofnormal group that is a school antimasker group?

It certainly appears like you do - because you are the STAR of their toolkit.

urgencyofnormal.com/advocacy-toolk…

Are you aware of that?
@DrTomFrieden - you were informed of this on January 25th.

Ok, maybe you don't pay attention to non-bluechecked accounts. Let me flag it to some of them to make sure it gets across your desk so you can take action.

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.

@AliHMokdad- respectfully, you are wrong.

A short 🧵 on why.

The Democrats are ending mask mandates with a 9/11 of Americans dying every day.

Which means we Democratic party members know there are 1000's of #LongCovid cases every day.

Which are what we truly fear.
And we still support mandates and masks.

Will let @mehdirhasan speak for me in the video below to that.

Moving on to the backed up ports.

They are slowly resolving.

And more importantly?

Masks enable workers to keep working. Respirators enable them to keep working in tight quarters.

Remove the masks? Watch the longshoreman absenteeism creep back up. The ships back up.

Was being careful as that is the one thing that works with novel viruses.

Bummer to get this confirmed.
