REMINDER: The nurses lost this lawsuit. They were not given N95s. The IPAC Directors went up against the nurses, arguing for Surgical masks.

Those SAME IPAC Directors have now released a study claiming surgical masks are noninferior to N95s.

Gee... 🤔🧐
cbc.ca/news/canada/ot… Like, literally, the same people that obstructed HCW's from accessing N95s during peak COVID, who signed an expert witness statement in a legal affidavit AGAINST THE NURSES/N95s, have now released a study claiming they were right... pheeeww! 😅

Yeah... no shit you hypothesized medical masks would be noninferior.

It's almost like your credibility, job, and liability were at stake?

We'll alert the OH&S profession that they don't have to use Respirators for asbestos anymore, since some ID Docs proved they don't work. Gee, why would these folks want a trial proving medical masks are noninferior? 🤔🧐

Recap:

For 2.5 years, Bonnie Henry (BC PHO) obstructed proper mitigations in schools (respirators, ventilation, HEPA filters) and downplayed transmission risk to children and transmission in schools.

This forced an #InfectionMandate on the non-consenting children of BC.

1/6 While this #InfectionMandate ripped through schools, Bonnie Henry carefully studied her unwitting subjects.

From the safety of her home office, she tallied the number of children her policies successfully infected. She watched the sero-prevalence tick higher, with a grin.

Thread for PH/ID communicators, who have taken a centrist position between anti-vaxxer/COVID-deniers and "Zero-COVID Zealots":

What should young, triple-vaxxed people be doing during this BA.5 wave?

Should they be avoiding infection via respirators, ventilation/filtration?
/1 The vast majority of previously cautious people, now believe the Pandemic is over. They aren't masking, they go to crowded/indoor events.

Those of us still taking precautions are made to feel like extremists.

Do you think we're zealots for continuing to avoid infection?

Well well well... look who's suddenly trying to get on the right side of history. 👀

I guess we're officially allowed to consider SARS2 as a plausible hypothesis.... Rather than "exclude" it or dismiss it as "unlikely" before serology data was available. Welcome to "COVID Hepatitis Twitter™️"!

The water's fine!

Thought:

The vast majority of the PH/ID MD COVID minimizers, were/are fervent Airborne-deniers.

They over-emphasized hand hygiene and sowed doubt in masks, HEPA filters and respirators.

I'm sure they were doling out this bad advice to close family and friends too.

1/5 I'm sure they were following this advice in their own lives. Shunning HEPA filters and respirators for gaping surgical masks.

Given this, how many of them likely got infected? How many times? How many onward transmissions did they fail to stop to and amongst family/friends?

Updated hot-takes chart.

How can the media continue to quote this individual as "an expert"?

How can the Medical Profession standby while this person repeatedly launders this hopium-fueled, reckless nonsense to the masses?

🧵1/4 How many Canadians heard one of his countless interviews on @cbcradio (where he declared the pandemic over, the virus mild, COVID mitigations useless, and infection to be inevitable/desired).. and then went on to catch/spread the virus to someone who died or was debilitated?

Just to confirm, I am publicly accusing @TorontoIDDoc of malpratice.

I hope your political aspirations were worth it. 🤡 Time to update the receipts chart:

In late December, I started to pull/chart the @AHS_media Acute Care Outbreak data again, for the Omicron wave.

Given that Airborne Transmission is still unmitigated in AHS Hospitals, it's not surprising that things have spiraled out of control very rapidly.

🧵1/9 Here are the cumulative cases and deaths linked to these outbreaks, since I started pulling the reports on Dec. 10th.

These are patients or healthcare workers that caught COVID while in the hospital. Some patients then died.

.@tom_cardoso, @globeandmail why are you interviewing ID MDs about Respiratory PPE? Lynora Saxinger has muddied the science of Airborne Transmission and obstructed access to Respiratory PPE for 2 years. She and the other obstructionists are liable. They are not honest brokers. 1/ What training do these MDs have in Respiratory PPE and the physics of masks?

This would be like doing an investigative report on the Boeing 737MAX crashes, and only interviewing the Boeing and FDA executives that rubber stamped the negligent certification documents. 2/

Resist the fatalism.

An Omicron infection is NOT inevitable.

It has a weakness: it needs to travel on an air bridge.

We have the technology to break that air bridge, through filtering, cleaning and changing the air.

🧵 on some Omicron avoidance SUCCESS stories!

1/ 1️⃣ Last Monday, my family was briefly exposed to a symptomatic person who had tested negative on a RAT. When I realized they were symptomatic, I asked them to leave as a precaution, and immediately refreshed the air via doors and windows open. They tested + the next day.

Many people are waking up with the gift of Omicron this Christmas, thanks to our incompetent government and PH establishment, that decided to let this Airborne virus rip.

Stop the cycle - if you have ANY symptoms, DO NOT GATHER regardless of Rapid Test OR PCR Test result. Early symptoms that I've heard from friends and family:

☣ Scratchy throat
☣ Sore throat
☣ Mild, recurring cough
☣ Fatigue
☣ Chills
☣ Headache
☣ Congestion

If you have ANY of these, DO NOT VISIT FAMILY INDOORS.

DON'T TRUST A NEGATIVE TEST (PCR or RAT)

Getting warmer... but still insufficient for an Airborne virus.

There are some easter eggs in this document, which tell us the @WHO IPAC Group is STILL drunk on #DropletDogma, and that they DO NOT support this minor change in RPE guidance.

That should concern us all.

🧵1/ First, Omicron is measles-level Airborne (maybe worse). 2 weeks ago I had no close friends or family that had caught COVID. As of today, 3 people close to me are positive after long-range Airborne transmission in restaurants or at work.

This victimhood narrative from IPAC really defies belief.

It's incredibly petty and disingenuous to use tone policing and "rude twitter streamers" as an excuse for inaction and a shield against accountability.

It is doubly inappropriate, when 1000's of lives are at stake.

1/9 These folks are hospital directors, who set the infection control guidance for their hospitals and the province. They rule with an iron fist.

When subordinates and other disciplines spoke up about aerosol, they were chided, mocked, threatened, and retaliated against.

ID proponents of surgical masking on COVID wards, often site a handful of systematic reviews to defend their position.

Spurred by @AntibioticDoc's thread and @McDevonMD's tweet below - I did some digging.

Was MacIntyre 2013 covered in these reviews, and if so, how?

🧵1/17 First, let's review @Globalbiosec's MacIntyre 2013.
This RCT had 3 arms: 1) continuous surgical masks 2) continuous N95s 3) targeted N95s (worn only during high-risk procedures and AGPs)

The 3rd arm is testing the status quo at most hospitals.

🚨 ATTENTION: Alberta Healthcare Workers, Patients:

Despite the catastrophic situation unfolding in your hospitals, and the uncontrolled spread of Delta in your communities, do not expect @AHS_media to provide HCWs with Respiratory PPE (N95s) anytime soon.

🧵1/ The @AHS_media SAG has just released a 73 page, biased, diatribe against the efficacy of Respiratory Protective Equipment - which can best be described as Decision-Based Evidence Making. I'm sure the AHS lawyers were pleased with this report.

This week, @TorontoStar published 2 articles re. whether the public should upgrade their masks for the Delta wave.
That's good, except that they chose to interview ID experts steeped in #DropletDogma, who thoroughly muddied the waters on this critical, life-saving topic.

🧵1/ First is this story, which asks: Is it time to upgrade your mask? The obvious answer is YES!! But instead of giving this unequivocal advice, the article muddies the issue, providing reckless quotes from the Ministry of Health and biased IPAC officials.

For the past 20 months, experts in Aerosol transmission of respiratory viruses have been conducting studies that prove #COVIDisAirborne. These experts have called for Airborne mitigations (ventilation, filtration and respirators), but we have not heeded their calls. Why?

🧵1/13 The ID/PH Evidence-Based Medicine gatekeepers, driven by biased #DropletDogma groupthink, and sunk cost fallacy, smugly dismissed these studies. They threw rocks at the conclusions, and perpetually raised the bar of evidence to accept and mitigate Airborne Transmission.

The @Telegraph released an article claiming "we're still not completely sure how coronavirus spreads or how to stop it", muddying the waters re. Airborne Transmission.
If I were a hostile foreign state, with a goal of prolonging the Pandemic in the West, I would write this.
🧵1/ I'm not surprised that the usual WHO IPC Consultant suspects, continued to preach the biased tenets of #DropletDogma via their interviews in this article.

What shocked me is the lack of scientific fact-checking from the so-called "Science Editor" @sarahknapton.

We know #COVIDisAirborne, spreading via inhaled aerosols.

Any mask will provide some source control, but given Delta's formidable transmissibility, it's time for #bettermasks to maximize protection for ourselves and others.

Keys to #bettermasks:
✅FILTER
✅FIT
✅FUNCTION

🧵1/ ☑️FILTER
🟠GOOD: A 3 ply, tightly-woven, cloth mask with a polypropylene inner layer
🟡BETTER: ASTM rated surgical masks, Level 2 or 3
🟢BEST: KN95, KF94, N95, Elastomeric Respirators

But since COVID spreads in aerosols.. we also need to #mindthegaps with a good FIT...

ATTENTION: Alberta Parents, Teachers, Workers

Don’t hold your breath waiting for HEPA filters to be installed in schools & workplaces this summer

The @AHS_media Scientific Advisory Group Co-Chair doesn’t think there’s enough evidence.

Important addendum to this thread.
1/20🧵 There has been a multi-day debate occurring amongst @AntibioticDoc and many engineers and Aerosol scientists, regarding whether there is sufficient evidence to use HEPA filters to mitigate against Airborne Transmission of SARS2.

Here's the latest:
