Would pulling on an N95 protect you more from airborne anthrax than if you pulled on a medical mask (MM)? From only 3 feet away?
In fact, IT IS AGAINST the proper use of respirators.
OSHA would have you KICKED off the job site.
But when Loeb did it in 2022? The $$$ 🎉🎉🎉
But - once this preprint is published? I do not see how Loeb (2022) is not RETRACTED.🔥🔥🔥
That study compared surgical masks to N95s. It said that surgical (medical) masks are as good as N95s in protection from Covid.
That they are not inferior, aka noninferior, to N95s.
And this stone-cold evisceration of the Loeb group who richly deserve it?
Is a thing of savage beauty.
Starting with - how do you not get infected 3 feet away from some feverish (febrile) C0Vid infected?
(Plus, the 58% asymptomatic transmissions? )
But Loeb's group said, "No way, man. Our people were rolling strapped! From the parking lot to the parking lot." (Universal masking***).
Now, this is where it gets good.
Someone👇 confirmed with a Loeb study member that the N95 group could use medical masks in hallways.
And the people in medical masks could wear N95s anytime they wanted.
Got it? This supposedly very methodological study has people switching anytime they wanted.
And their OWN PLAN said they would have sites with and without universal masking.
Until they changed it after the fact.
AFTER THE FACT! Can we trust them? Surely they have no incentive to lie like rugs, right?
No UNREPORTED conflicts of interests like 7 million dead.
No conflicts of interest at all, like 16 study members running IPC at their hospital. No pressure from needing to be proved right. No pressure to keep costs low as N95s are spendy!
None like testifying at a trial to deny nurses N95s. With 5 study members.
None like running THE group that the WORLD listened to for a year of death. Or being a member.
No, when the study was abruptly moved from Canada to Egypt, Israel, Pakistan, just as clear evidence was emerging that N95s were better than MM? Nothing suspicious.
And Egypt ending up being the location for finding surgical masks are the same as N95s?
Nothing against Egypt, it's just where serious issues with women being forced to work, men in N95s, bad ventilation, public transportation in the middle of the first Omicron wave, all caused that effect.
Although...
The actual data collected was sketch AF. "Perfectly excluded" is not a good phrase to hear about your study.
You been busted, son! Is a rough translation.
Nothing like a few changes to a study👇. Between 16 IPC directors, you'd think they'd kick all kinds of study a$$, instead of needing midstream changes.
There is more, but I am tired of reading about the Canadian IPC Mafia.
They are very bad people who did a very bad study.
Universal masking was not fully explained in the study.
Parking lot to parking lot?
UM in Egypt, Pakistan, Canada - might be all different.
For example, Japan, this hospital had universal masking, but not in break rooms. Led to infections. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
Pakistani where PATIENTS did not adhere to universal masking (UM), despite beng requird to.
Obviously, patients are aerosol src. Also, the antimaskers at the Loeb group included ACH at the various places. THAT IS NOT MEASURED ACH. There is a researchgate.net/profile/Saerah…
huge difference - if you ask someone actually experienced with aerosols.
Changing rooms in hospitals - we have no idea of the Egypt set up.

71 guinea pigs gave their lives between 1956 and 1958 in the eponymous study by Riley et al, getting TB air piped in from some TB patients, to prove TB is airborne.
Influenza is kind of airborne per most doctors. But kind of not.
So....

We need some volunteers.
Will horses be those volunteers that finally lay it all out?
Yes - but none of them lost their lives.
Air samplers were deployed and tracked horses inoculated with Equine influenza virus (EIV).
From the very first day post inoculation (dpi), until the
12th day, EIV was found in the air, in this new study.
With no horses, or guinea pigs, hurt in the process.
But sure, influenza's not airborne - if you are the USDA, right, @nirav_maine?
@ThailandMedicaX, retweeted by some because of their controversial takes (ahem, their lies?), is saying that FAR-UVC is dangerous because somehow the light will get into the lungs.
Lol.
They are just apparent supplement grifters.

I noticed they were using @NukitToBeSure's excellent torches as their example picture.
Strange to be so selective of an example picture for someone purporting to be an independent news source on health.
Hmm. I helped defend Nukit against charges of
racism by a very nasty couple who it turned out just do not like UVC, personally. I wonder....
Yep, ThailandMedicalX has blocked me.
But, it's weird for a purported news source to block someone like me @gorskon
@doritmi @19joho.
You've heard of "The Three Problem." - great book, and excellent Netflix series.
If you want to be avoid catching Covid, you probably have "The Empty Room" situation in the back of your mind.
How long after a room had people in it, can you safely demask?
Thread.

Measles was thought to be airborne after a child caught measles an hour after the infected child left the same office.
.
Interestingly, you can see the reluctance in blue below to call measles airborne. Much like the WHO with @mvankerkhove researchgate.net/publication/19…
which spent millions to rebrand SARS2 as "through the air" rather than airborne.
It is an inconvenient truth that then leads us to the study showing an #EmptyRoom SARS2 infection at 1 hour and 43 minutes, and FOUR HOURS and FORTY-FIVE MINUTES.
