#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 :) .

Source for polio 99% effectiveness:
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.

Repeated infections.

A thread of why it's a bad idea. Image
Let's start with the newest.

The more hits your immune system takes, the more it primes you for "increasingly profound and protracted #neuroinflammation"

And "multiple inflammatory challenges can add up to be greater than the sum of their parts."

That's not just SARS2.

All disease-causing pathogens like bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites. 1st 3 are generally airborne.

Not discussed by their study, but alcohol, heat, processed food, alcohol, smoking - all hit your immune system.

And all have hammered LongHaulers.

Hypothesis: reducing the inoculum you are exposed to will result in a less severe infection.

Follow-up Hypothesis: wearing a respirator will result in less severity than cleaning the air with a HEPA.

Been thinking on this for a long while. Here are the underpinnings.
🧵
On the first, this is a pretty common theory. Here's a good quick overview of the idea 👇.

Greater the inoculum, the worse the outcome.

A dose-response relationship between viral load and outcome, to use the more scientific parlance.

thelancet.com/journals/lanin…

The influence of the inoculum on disease severity is more challenging to study in humans, given that some viruses only cause mild clinical manifestations in immunocompetent human hosts. Viruses that cause severe disease symptoms are too dangerous to study experimentally in humans, and disease severity is more challenging to measure than is infection itself. However, in one controlled experiment with respiratory syncytial virus, five of the seven human participants who were successfully infected with undiluted, higher dose virus inoculum (105 plaque-forming units) administered intranasally, ...
Given the severity of illness associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection, human challenge studies are controversial.31 However, in an animal model of SARS-CoV-2 infection, Syrian hamsters were successfully infected with two different doses of SARS-CoV-2, intranasally and intraocularly, and the higher dose was associated with greater weight loss and more severe lung abnormalities on chest imaging.32 In another experiment, when a surgical mask partition was placed between the cages of infected and uninfected Syrian hamsters, only six (25%) of 24 hamsters protected by the surgical mask partition wer...
Here's an epi example of two groups of soldiers spatially separated, but very similar in make-up.

Group after masking and social distancing
13 (15%) of 88 asymptomatic.

Group before masking
102 (47%) of the 215 soldiers who tested positive were symptomatic. Some epidemiological data1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 37 suggestive of the viral inoculum effect with SARS-CoV-2 are also worthy of notice. A natural experiment of sorts occurred in the Swiss Alps between March 25, 2020, and April 14, 2020, in two spatially separated homogenous cohorts of soldiers of similar age (median age 21) and without substantial comorbidities.4 After a COVID-19 outbreak occurred in one of the cohorts, physical distancing and surgical mask-wearing was implemented in both cohorts. An outbreak of COVID-19 in the previously unaffected cohort occurred after the implementation of th...

🔥 Wildfire season, folks! 🔥

Got a smoky or smokey house from a fire or a BLT sandwich gone wrong?

TLDR;
Make a #CorsiRosenthalBox with activated carbon filters

AND CLEAN SURFACES:
By vacuuming, dusting; then wiping and mopping with a commercial, non-bleach solution. Pic of smoke and fire - hopefully not headed your way.
Huge caveat. The carbon filters will fill up quickly with particulate matter.

While the smoke is ongoing? Regular filters.

After the smoke is over, while cleaning up? The activated carbon filters (ACF).

Someone is working on a variation of the CR Box w/ 3 regular panels,
1 ACF panel. Numbers are still being run. No ETA, so I am going forward with this thread, as is.

⚠️ACFs are also great for paint fumes.⚠️

BTW, this thread will get a fair amount of useful clarifications, so check the end of the thread, in a couple of days.

A new strategy.

I used this new study, that points to C0vid co-infection with StaphA, worsening StaphA, to write the HICPAC.

The patient safety pages do not recommend N95s.

This allows me to avoid the quarrel of StaphA OR C0vid being airborne.

Image
Image
And allows me to use their words on N95s being best for C0vid against them.

Soft-copy email below.

hicpac @ - just join these together.

This strategy can be used on every safety page for every disease.

Find the X CDC safety page. Confirm no N95s recommended. They never are.

And you are off to the races.

Some will think, "this is just some weird internet trick."

This is just us using their system against them.Scholar.google.com

A NEW Colorado Chicken farm outbreak with 1.34 million.

The one with 5 people confirmed infected, 64 pending, has 1.8 million, 10-14 days of work.

CDC team of 10 has just been dispatched for the 1.8 million.

The farms are about 35 minutes apart (thank you @0bFuSc8!)

Holy airborne H5N1.

69 symptomatic workers, 5 positive so far?

150 on antivirals?
It's always been airborne.

This means that it is more transmissible to the humans than before.

Not Covid levels. Probably not even original WT level.

But more transmissible to the humans than before.
Homeland Security moved to Level 2.
