#PolioIsAirborne
#PoliomyelitisISairborne
#YOpolioISairborne

And here we go again...

Studies. Government documents. Old books.
Going to show you how Polio is airborne.

Denialists will attack by saying:
- I'm not a virologist.
->True - but you can read the studies. Also, virologists actually do not study in detail aerosols that actually carry viruses airborne.

-Household Attack Rate is not high enough.
-Transmissibility is not great enough.
-> They said the same thing about CoVid.
Those are just CLUES to what is airborne.

But enough of them, let's get to it. Dangerous respiratory viruses are experimented with on Non-Human Primates. Monkeys.

Droplet nuclei is an old term meaning aerosol. Aerosols are airborne.

science.org/doi/abs/10.112…
"The presence of virus in the human nasopharynx, which has been repeatedly demonstrated, provides an obvious source of air contamination by patients and carriers; and direct contact has been traced during epidemics in a considerable fraction of cases..."
Let's go back to 1931.

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

"..there are grounds for assuming that the virus lurks (LURKS) in the upper respiratory passages of man, and is given off in the air by acts of respiration."
1937.
"Epidemic acute Poliomyelitis and Encephalitis, both Air-Borne Infections"

sci-hub.hkvisa.net/10.1111/j.1651…
"NORN and MOLLER (Ugeskrift for Lzger, 26-3374. Actu pcediutrica. Vol. XIX. 394 W. SOHIER BRYANT 33: 841, 1935) say the virus may enter via the lungs as shown by commencing with cough, bronchitis, or even pneumonia, and in some cases via the tonsils, commencing with tonsillitis."
"The prodromal symptoms are also identical in our two diseases. They both commence with local acute inflammatory symptoms in the upper air-tract, nose, throat and tonsils."
1940.
 ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
"The balance of evidence suggests that poliomyelitis is an air-borne disease. However, recovery of the virus from feces, from water, and sewage must be taken seriously."
1944.
 "POLIOMYELITIS IN THE CYNOMOLGUS MONKEY : III. INFECTION BY INHALATION OF DROPLET NUCLEI AND THE NASOPHARYNGEAL PORTAL OF ENTRY"

"It is suggested that inhalation of virus deserves more serious attention as a mode of human infection than it has hitherto received, since air
and dust may be contaminated from fecal as well as from nasopharyngeal sources."
As of today, according to the CDC - polio is not airborne. We'll see about that.

cdc.gov/polio/what-is-…
The WHO:
"The virus is transmitted by person-to-person spread mainly through the faecal-oral route or, ...., by a common vehicle (for example, contaminated water or food)"

Evidently, if your Dr. is from the WHO? You are protected from the CDC droplets.
who.int/news-room/fact…
More to come as we build the preponderance of evidence awaiting us buried in the old tomes.
Jumping up to 1972 for no other reason than I'd like to see some high-level citations - that I can then dive back down into in the earlier years.

Pay to play
link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Free - and just matter of factly showing it's airborne.
sci-hub.hkvisa.net/10.1007/bf0235…
Quick side trip to the Euro CDC, where we find that that polio can be airborne via aerosols, unlike in the USA or at the WHO.

Do I detect the heavy hand of corporations on the throat of the US CDC and the WHO?

ecdc.europa.eu/en/poliomyelit….
Ok, a quick PSA for #PolioIsAirborne.

If I was in NY, I would sure be masking up for CoVid, Monkeypox, and now polio.

Although the vaccine effectiveness is at 99%, if you follow me, there's a chance you might be immunocompromised as I tend to have a bunch of such followers.
NY state has suffered a decrease in vaccinations thanks to antivaxxers.

From before the pandemic:
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

Did the pandemic lead to missed vaccinations? Yes, because our government did not immediately roll out N95s so we could go to appointments safely.
I am as much a vaccine advocate as I am a masking advocate, and block in a heartbeat - so no antivax work in my replies, please :) .

cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/p…
Finally... Make sure you check your vax card. You are eligible for one lifetime booster.

This is that time.

If you've had CoVid? Sorry, it hammers your immune system. Consider yourself at risk out of the precautionary principle.

#MaskUpVaxUp.
This based on the info coming out of NY. Your state may vary.

Thank you very much, Dr. Stone for laying out this 20 hour meeting so very clearly and concisely!

The HICPAC voted to deny HCWs N95s, deny ALL the protection of universal source control, and have HCW illness time to be so short as to be GUARANTEED to bring more LongCovid.

/1
We can see their lies by just looking at just a few seconds of one doctor's testimony.

To wit:
Doctors don't need N95s because the room has a PPE note on it.

But, after asking a few questions, they go get better PPE.

Here it is
Erica Shenoy, MD, PhD, Chief of Infection Control at Mass General Brigham, and a prominent committee voice who has published against masking in healthcare settings, argued that wearing an N95 respirator for initial patient contact was excessive. She told the committee that her practice is to go into a patient's room (without a respirator), ask a few questions, and then determine the level of protection needed. I understand that since I sometimes did the same—but that was long ago, and when I suspected my exposure would be minimal during that brief period.
To me, this is just a massive self-own by Harvard's Dr. Shenoy. She is too intelligent to be stupid, so this must be deliberate obtuseness.

Let's ignore her condescending tone (she was addressing a fellow HCW who knows exactly what the process is), and look at the facts.

Zombie Deers. Chronic Wasting Disease. Misfolded PRIONS in the brain - like Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans.

✅ In 35 states.
✅ Incredibly stable in the environment.
✅ Highly contagious.

They are not sure how it's transmitted.

It's airborne. Can Rudolph infect Santa?

Normally, I do long threads, but busy, today.

So, here is the source for the basics on CWD:

Here's the study showing prions in saliva, which means it will be throughout the LRT and URT.

Fascinating educational article about vaccines and the immune system.

And this was an interesting bit -
Bacterial and viral infections predispose to other infections.

Get the flu? You are at greater risk for pneumococcal pneumonia.
/1 Bacterial and viral infections, on the other hand, often predispose children and adults to severe, invasive infections with other pathogens. For example, patients with pneumococcal pneumonia are more likely to have had a recent influenza infection than matched controls.62 Similarly, varicella infection increases susceptibility to group A-hemolytic streptococcal infections such as necrotizing fasciitis, toxic shock syndrome, and bacteremia.63
Those 👇 post influenza infection effects look familiar.

Where have I seen those types of symptoms before?

COV_D. Which we are getting every year, unlike the flu which is every 5-6 years.

Anywho.....

wellesu.com/10.1086/313772The theoretical bases for susceptibility to bacterial pneumonia following influenza infection are plentiful and include decreases in the function of polymorphonuclear leukocytes, macrophages, lymphocytes, and monocytes; increases in the adherence of bacteria to the respiratory epithelium; and decreased mucociliary clearance [14–19]. In studies of pneumococcal pneumonia in mice and squirrel monkeys, greater severity of disease and mortality resulted from infections due to pneumococcus and influenza virus together than from infections of either organism alone [20–21]. These animal studies sup...
Varicella (chickenpox)? Leads to Group A-hemolytic Streptococcal infection. Known affectionately as GAS, and exhibiting as
necrotizing fascitis.

researchgate.net/publication/12…VZV infection itself may cause a predisposing immune aberration or may allow invasion via another less apparent portal, such as lesions on the oral mucosa or the respiratory tract. In favor of an immune aberration is the fact that NF, the most severe manifestation of soft tissue infection, tended to occur more commonly in association with chickenpox than in nonchickenpox cases. Furthermore, Fujimara et al33 have presented evidence of a switch of the CD41 T cell profile in patients with varicella and underlying atopic dermatitis from a TH2 toaTH1 dominant type with a relative immunosuppressi...

I have my head so far up the governmental cow's butt on this one, I think I am uniquely qualified to answer on the difference between Biden and Trump on H5N1.

Ready for a🧵?
Biden's USDA is still denying airborne, and is still not telling the Spanish-speaking dairy workers that it is airborne. Or to wear an N95.

Biden's CDC is running Spanish ads on the radio and Facebook. Offering testing. Workers still not trusting the CDC.
Trump will get the CDC to continue to offer free testing clinics - and arrest the workers when they come in.

Nobody will want to milk or take care of the cows. They will continue to get sick, but really die without the intensive care they actually need with H5N1.

You go to the doctor to get better, not sicker.

There is a group called the HICPAC that tells the CDC what they should do regarding whether or not the guy with bright pink eyes in the bed next to you is wearing an N95 or not.

Whether your doctor comes back from Bermuda with
Covid - and either wears an N95 when he sees you or not.

Whether the hospital gives you attitude about your N95 - or joins you in wearing an N95.

They are going to vote today to say that Surgical Masks are Respiratory Protective Equipment - which is a lie. Per NIOSH/ OSHA.
What can you do?

Read this thread and then call the Inspector General’s office is very receptive. The direct phone number is 202-619-3148. Tell them the HICPAC did what is in that thread, and about them ignoring all airborne evidence.

The Canada BC teenager is in a hospital that barely uses surgical masks, under Bonnie Henry who screwed up SARS1, then C0V1D.

She thinks aerosols only come in cans.

⚠️ Trigger ⚠️

I am going to lay out the worst case for you. Going to get dark.
First, the subclade, or variant, that this poor kid has is D1.1.

It is not the dairy cow subclade - that is B3.13.

Good breakdown of what a clade is here:
cdc.gov/flu/about/viru…

D1 is lighting up the Pacific flyway.

33 outbreaks in 2.5 weeks.

x.com/0bFuSc8/status… Pacific flyway is basicallywedt of the western tip of Texas, Wyoming etc.
"Genotype D1.1 has:
• Eurasian HA, PB1, MP, NS – all ea3
• North American PB2 (am24), PA (am4), NP (am13), NA [am4(N1)]"

PB2 is not good.
