So the droplet people said viruses travel in droplets only. Two metres.

But ... How would that work? And nobody could cite support.

I got suspicious.

A thread.
I looked for something that proved droplet and found nothing.

That's right, not a single atudy proves droplet transmission.

But I could find a lot proving things airborne:

I looked for the origin of droplet and found it was some guy's guess ... in 1912.

I found that im the 1930s droplet theory had been ripped apart:

They say droplets fall on things and you touch them. I actually looked for support for fomites, and found little.

They said only TB, measles, and chickenpox was airborne

I found many more

I also found TB, measles, and chickenpox all used to be considered droplet before they were considered airborne
1. TB

2. Measles

3. Chickenpox

And

And then I rolled it all up. All by January 2021.

Even the WHO, trying to prove droplet, ended up accidentally proving things are airborne

What a farce.

#covidisairborne
P.S.

It's been proven, in fact.

In short:



If I could figure this out, enough people knew or could do so as well.

They didn't, likely because of panic myth and ego.

Sad.
Later, in October 2021, I put together all the airborne review articles that I could find.

These are overview articles, not studies, meaning they're chalk full of studies.

There were more than I expected.

Then here's a bonus thread about denial and panic myth.

If you liked this thread donate to my Subs--oh I don't have.

Ah, follow me on YouT--hmm don't have that either.

Okay then, give my boss a tag and get me a rais--oh, can't get one of those.

Well, I guess just wear an N95 and be safe then.
Oh thought of something you could go read our history of airborne etc. Disclosure: I am a coauthor. @jljcolorado spearheaded it. Follow him too.

On the denial point:

Oh this thread is fun

I ended up banging out a very brief summary of airborne transmission from 1850 to 2024, here:

I just noticed "chock full" in one of my old posts was auto corrected to "chalk full".

This makes me think of clapping chalk eraser brushes in school; the clouds of chalk dust would float quite a while.

Well, those particles were much larger than particles containing viruses...

@ExtroSpecteur I presume he is saying airborne mitigations should be equally alongside touch or droplet.

No, there is no evidence for any. As I keep saying, but happy to say again, for thousands of years people flipflopped between "it's touch" and "it floats but generates in swamps because ...
@ExtroSpecteur ... they did not understand pathogens. Once they did, referring to respiratory illness, they simply assumed it was droplet because most infections can be traced to an infected having been near the index case. Droplet became an idea with Chapin in 1910, to explain why one needed..
@ExtroSpecteur ...to be close. However, first, their idea of droplet was not necessarily 2 metres. Their idea of airborne was many kilometers, so their discussion of close has to be understood in this context. Two, their investigations were crude, by the 30s air people like Wells

Another one for the pile.

Call me in two years when you haven't heard anything at all about this vaccine.

And how would it be administered. We take shots every morning?

We have nasal vaccines for flu btw. Still have flu.
But hey 250,000 views. If I wanted to sell books I might post stuff like this. 🤷
Hey here are some other ideas:

sun entering cooling phase which should obviate climate change.

Just bang the like button. That's all we're here for I guess. Let's all be irresponsible. 🤷

It's always funny to me that virologists get everything and transmission so wrong. I guess because they work with viruses they think they know everything about them. 🤷

The sad part is we would assume that because they work with viruses they know everything about them. Image
*everything about
Virologists don't really work on transmission. Maybe sometimes they spin a tub and flip some in the air or something. But they don't really know what's going on. And then the doctors know the biological clinical side of things but they don't work on transmission either.

COVID-19 took measles out back and absolutely SHOT IT DEAD.

1 sick player infected 100% OF BOTH HOCKEY TEAMS - 42 people - then another 102 spectators.

172 people in total.

You can watch it sweep the first team then the second team then the stands in the epi curves.

Wow.

A few sick kids at a doctor's office?

Pfft, measles, get out of here you weakly-transmitting pathetic cold of a virus. Even pre-vax you weren't doing this.

SARS-CoV-2 is absolutely mind-blowingly transmissible.

Translation: it's already in humans
Imma help you with this "science speak"
Just remember the ladder of denial and elite panic myth means if you are hearing a 2 it's a 4. If a 4 it's a 6. If a 6 pack your bags. You'll never hear 8 and up the TV will just play static
