Is this really still happening? I hope @OSHA_DOL was really listening. We tried our best to help HCWs and other essential workers in hospitals and ALL healthcare settings. It is crazy that the spread continues. My main mantra for nearly 2 years? (1/4)

Public health officials and experts need to make it clear #CovidIsAirborne. To those who fought, smeared, and denied it, shame on you. You have a chance at redemption right now if you will share that you were wrong and why it matters to add better airborne protection for all(2/4)

I won’t name names…but people in the infection control community who were upset at me for calling out their resistance, and virologists who said it not airborne and then airborne only under nuanced conditions…this is a call for you to stand up, own it, and help send a better 3/

message to end this pandemic caused by an airborne virus. If you are an expert with any skin in this game, it is time to stand up and send a unified message to help protect everyone. #CovidIsntOver #COVIDisAirborne #CleanAirMatters (4/4)

I feel bad for calling people out who were wrong. We have all been wrong. It is not about being wrong, it is about attacking and smearing a different message from those who are helping. Then these people push back and play victim. This gaslighting tactic hurts everyone…(1/2)

by killing a message that will help save lives. The concerning part is these people, many with zero expertise in the airborne behavior of aerosols, have amassed a huge Twitter following and been featured by top media outlets. We all need figure out how to get the truth out. (2/2)
