"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..."
"..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"
"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.
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.
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.
Safer showering and swimming with great breathability!
Others have used a snorkel w/ N95s - but those then collapse around the snorkel, and breathability is more restricted. This new approach is w/ an internal BRACE!
I took a shower with this, and it worked perfectly. Build 🧵
This is a great technique, but I was looking for something with more breathability.
Not masking led him to getting polymicrobial respiratory infection (multiple pathogens) on 2/6/2025, leading to bronchitis, to bilateral pneumonia, a respiratory event
- leading to stroke and cardiac arrest.

This links to the article from March 27th, 2025, with Trump saying it was so nice of a reporter to be wearing a mask.
There's a video of him on this page.

President Donald Trump stopped answering San Francisco Chronicle Washington correspondent Shira Stein, @shiramstein, to comment on her wearing a COVID mask in the Oval Office, remarking, “You’re wearing a mask! So nice of you!”
Our faces, our health.
And we choose to mask.
Ms. Stein was later singled out by Marjorie Taylor Greene in her for wearing a mask.
Very insulting, at first. But, after Ms. Stein pointed out she was immuncompromised (also having had a stroke, higher risk), she
Of course I don't wish him dead in a box. That is against Twitter's TOS.
But, anyway, what do I mean? On the one hand, pointing out that Covid is probably a bioweapon means that you can point out the silliness of not protecting yourself against it.
On the other hand, this:
Which, of course, is silly as workers in BSL2-4 labs wear N95s and better to protect against bioweapons.
Heh. I can tell an antimasker wrote that because they screwed up the logic on it.
