Well well well... look who's suddenly trying to get on the right side of history. π
I guess we're officially allowed to consider SARS2 as a plausible hypothesis.... Rather than "exclude" it or dismiss it as "unlikely" before serology data was available.
I'm also glad the experts have now given us permission to #ReleaseTheSerology
Hey.. maybe the topic was "acrimonious", because you all dismissed COVID out of the gates and blamed Adenovirus. Then when a hepatologist laid out a counter argument, you all piled on... accused him of "clout chasing" and called him a "tedious ass". π€·πΌββοΈ
Speaking of "clout chasing"... In 2 weeks we went from "we have nothing to do with this, other experts are looking into it" to "here's a BMJ editorial on the subject" π§

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.

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?

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.

How many Canadians heard one of his countless interviews on @cbcradio (where he declared the pandemic over, the virus mild, COVID mitigations useless, and infection to be inevitable/desired).. and then went on to catch/spread the virus to someone who died or was debilitated?

Why is the Medical Profession OK with this?
He actually said the quiet part out loud in June 2020.
He's pushing an #InfectionMandate for every man, woman and unvaccinated child.
.@tom_cardoso, @globeandmail why are you interviewing ID MDs about Respiratory PPE? Lynora Saxinger has muddied the science of Airborne Transmission and obstructed access to Respiratory PPE for 2 years. She and the other obstructionists are liable. They are not honest brokers. 1/
What training do these MDs have in Respiratory PPE and the physics of masks?
This would be like doing an investigative report on the Boeing 737MAX crashes, and only interviewing the Boeing and FDA executives that rubber stamped the negligent certification documents. 2/
Right off the bat... does this quote not strike you as odd? Have you seen a respirator? They are not individually fit/molded to a person's face. They are DESIGNED to fit, UNLIKE A SURGICAL MASK.
You know what mask forces air out the sides 100% of the time? A SURGICAL MASK. 3/
It has a weakness: it needs to travel on an air bridge.
We have the technology to break that air bridge, through filtering, cleaning and changing the air.
𧡠on some Omicron avoidance SUCCESS stories!

1οΈβ£ Last Monday, my family was briefly exposed to a symptomatic person who had tested negative on a RAT. When I realized they were symptomatic, I asked them to leave as a precaution, and immediately refreshed the air via doors and windows open. They tested + the next day.
2/
For the next week, we wore respirators in the house to protect our 2 year old son, just in case we had become infected.
9 days later, nobody has tested positive.
Lesson: Isolate symptomatic people, regardless of RAT result. If exposed, purge the air as soon as possible.
