#EbolaIsAirborne
Ebola is airborne.

H/T @AeonCoinb for below.

Quick 🧵.

We are, after all, just evolved primates.

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
Cynomolgus macaques - the unfortunate golden primate perfect for respiratory virus transmission studies. CoVid was found to be airborne long before the monkeys at the @CDCgov decided it might be.

Also airborne here.

Still monkeying around.

Clinical progression includes diarrhea and vomiting.

Vomiting Larry, seen below, indicates you need to clean up to 24 feet away.

Yeesh. Stuff of nightmares.

journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…
Bioaerosol Sampler captured aerosols during vomiting.

journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…
Not going to bother with diarrhea, except to say Ebola virus has been found in stool samples, and toilet flushing has been amply studied and proven to generate infectious aerosols.

Moving on.
Next, is a study by Dr. @brosseau_lisa. She has forgotten more about airborne transmission than most will learn in 10 lifetimes.

sci-hub.hkvisa.net/10.1097/jom.00…
So, is Ebola airborne?

It is possible, plausible, probable, and yes, certainly airborne via aerosols.

If you screenshot this, and cry it is not? Then, you need to put down the ID textbook, and pick up an Aerosol textbook.

Or....
Put on a face shield, and go volunteer in Uganda.

A face shield will stop all droplets.
#EbolaIsAirborne
Another group of scientists invented another Vomiting Larry to test aerosols.

A million aerosols spewed out. At least 13,000 virus aerosols (virusols) included.

People often underestimate the power of having someone with the reputation of Wolfgang Leitner, weighing in.

This is truly a significant development.

Personally, I prefer to let the studies do their own talking, but Voice Of Authority bears considerable weight in the real world
Just a few awards Image
An actual Conference Organizer. You underestimate the political savvy and pull this takes - and gives them. Image

Calley is lying from the very first sentence. The media is not cheering for MAHA to fail. They are cheering for antivaxxers to fail.

We all want to see better food, less chemicals.

But we are not idiots.

The single largest gain in American life expectancy was
between 1900 and 1940, primarily because of improved water & sewer sanitation. Adding 16 years of life expectancy.

And vaccines are a close second - adding 5-10 years a bit later - in the last half of the century.

If we get rid of vaccines? We lose 5 to 26 years, depending
if we lose smallpox and diptheria.

There's another thing. Calley wants us working on the below things.

The Red Arrows point to things that will not mean a thing because of the next tweet. Image

Microplastics.

In your testicles. Or your ovaries. Your brain and other organs.

But where do they come from? Are you eating, drinking, or breathing them in?

3 biggest fixes you can do? Get a water filter that handles PFAs - it will also do Image
also handle microplastics easily. Next, rinse off your vegetable and fruit with that filtered water.

When driving around in your car? Have a little HEPA running. @cleanairstars is a great resource. @ThisHouseFresh has a handy RV HEPA review article.
And of course, in your house, have a HEPA/ CR Box running. What is outside will soon be inside - takes about 4 hours if memory serves me correctly for typical infiltration.

Especially important if you live near a road.

Someone in the 7 Oaks School of Ontario IPC, like @zchagla, @DocDominik, @HotaSusy, @BogochIsaac @skepticalIDdoc has gone anonymous.

Remember - that group personally signed affidavits saying surgical masks are good enough to de-N95 nurses, who went on to die ....
At greater numbers than the population.

Who were sentenced to lives of LongCovid.

It all started in March of 2020, when the 7 Oaks School of Ontario IPC signed a nasty, but quiet, little petition to deny airborne precautions. Image
Then they signed those nasty little affidavits,with two fingers crossed I am presuming, in April of 2021.

Deliberately to demask the nurses. Image

Guess what?

In the next pandemic, these "RCT or STFU" worshippers plan on sacrificing you on the alter of RCTs.

This is Dr. Atle Fretheim 👇 talking about how they attempted to get masks randomized from his government.

And thankfully, shot down.
/+

Image
But they have figure out "this one weird trick!"

They are working on getting pre-approval from the WHO for what is called their "Master Protocols 👇," to then help smooth the way with their local government.

This is not an idle thing. Atle specifically used air filtration 👇@kprather88 @jljcolorado, as his example of a desired subject to give half of the class clean air in the beginning of a pandemic.

When we are MOST trying to stop the spread!

AVERAGE CO2 in the dead space below an N95? 1-3% - or 10,000 to 30,000 ppm. Scary?

No. You see that's the average.

Humans have focused on average or peak exhalations/waveforms.

We haven't studied the LOW POINT with capnography.

We have done it with simulations. Image
There are no published experimental (human) capnography studies inside N95 dead space that show the CO₂ dropping down as low as ~0.4% within a single exhalation. Human trials typically measure peak or average values rather than full breath waveforms.
As you can see, the amount of CO2 in the N95 goes down.

Why? Because the air around us has so much less CO2. When we inhale, it mixes with that high CO2.

Dilution and diffusion both at play.
journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…Image
As all of us who has ever worn a mask/N95, which is most of the world, knows, we don't suffer the effects of inhaling 30,000 ppm all day.

Lets look at this a different way.

What if we were in a room with huge CO2? That's what antimaskers are implying is going on.
