Thought:

The vast majority of the PH/ID MD COVID minimizers, were/are fervent Airborne-deniers.

They over-emphasized hand hygiene and sowed doubt in masks, HEPA filters and respirators.

I'm sure they were doling out this bad advice to close family and friends too.

1/5

I'm sure they were following this advice in their own lives. Shunning HEPA filters and respirators for gaping surgical masks.

Given this, how many of them likely got infected? How many times? How many onward transmissions did they fail to stop to and amongst family/friends?

2/5

How does one grapple with this? What do you tell yourself, your family, your friends who are anxious about their infection?

You contrive 2 truths:
1) Infection is inevitable
2) Infection is harmless

You then repeatedly state those truths, to reassure yourself and them.

3/5

These experts unleashed a self-fulfilling prophecy.

They were adamant Airborne precautions weren't necessary, so the virus spread.

Then they were all infected, so the narrative shifted to: "it's impossible to stop & it's harmless", damning us all to their #InfectionMandate

4/5

Because these experts were wrong, and publicly blocked effective mitigations, they damned themselves, their families and the rest of us to infection.

So now, as self-preservation, they've concocted this delusion that infection is harmless and even desired.

Ignore them.

Who are these experts i'm referring to?
