  1. Relieved to see Dr Joseph Allen and his no-BS approach to the precautionary principle on @[email protected] last night. If I hear the words "nothing to worry about" and "mild" from supposed public health officials one more time....🙄 #ItsAirborne #CovidIsNotOver youtu.be/rO4Xd5PfIo0

    There have been a few asbestos, tobacco, fossil fuels emissions and by-products, teflon, nano-materials, thalidomide, oxycodone, cancer researcher, respiratory masking, & respiratory disease transmission vector scientists who seem to have wanted some things not shared or known.

    Been thinking about the extent to which many White folk in Western Civilization feel much more in control of their lives than their matching cohort from one, two and three centuries ago.

    Deaths in childbirth, deaths of children, deaths from infection, malnutrition, social oppression and social restrictions have all vastly improved.

    And medical science has for 100 years very strongly held to "It's not airborne".

  4. 'Struth, how to really make a negative impression.

    Visited a relative in a WA Health Department hospital.

    COVID-19 infections in the ward according to staff.

    Sign at entrance reads only, "Masking recommended".
    Next to sign is a box of surgical masks and hand disinfectant.

    2025 and this is what public health is delivering?

    And I'm meant to have confidence in the care decisions this system makes?

  5. The second report of the UK COVID Inquiry is out. The two volumes are here: covid19.public-inquiry.uk/documents/mo... The section on "The focus on handwashing over ventilation" begins in section 12.32 of the second volume (page 167 in the PDF of voume 2). #itsairborne #COVID #longCOVID #aerosol

  6. How can I show support for mainstream medicine when it is using surgical masks instead of N95 masks to address the risk of respiratory infections?

    This is not a rhetorical question.

    How do you do it?

    I've tried telling Covid-deniers that mainstream medicine is wrong about this, and that N95 masks are needed.
    They already "know" the first bit. It supports their view.
    They're sure the second bit is nonsense.

    The image in the BBC article shows blue surgical splash-and-droplet masks.

    Is COVID-19 not airborne in Shrewsbury and Telford?

    Or is that the hospital boards feel they're exempted from the physics of air filtration?

    Is there not a healthcare workers federation or something.

    A quick check shows a disturbing variance in the stated infection methods.

    Is the old science "terror of the #Miasma superstition" is still in play? Even after #Covid #ItsAirborne? Except for #Wikipedia it's at most "droplets", not aerosols, not airborne.

    WHO: "bite of infected vector fleas",
    "contact with infectious bodily fluids or contaminated materials", " inhalation of respiratory droplets/small particles from a patient".

    And let's ignore #ItsAirborne and the (AIUI) ongoing absence of Indoor Air Quality regulations being in place even for newly built facilities let alone enforced on existing facilities.

    "Oh gosh darn, we've put a lot of old people in an pro-infection environment &, who'da thunk it, they've gone and got sick! Completely unforeseeable." - Public health and aged care company officials

    I say, "This is abuse and neglect of aged care residents. You dogs."

    "Consistency matters tremendously. Research shows that when health experts give conflicting information or change their message, people become more suspicious and decide to hold off on vaccines. ..."

    Which raises the damage done to the public's confidence in health science when "It's not airborne" and "Masks don't work" was the dogma held to despite decades of physics and engineering around air filtration and decades of experimental results showing #ItsAirborne.

  11. @RebelGeek99
    Went with miasmaologist.

    But though miasmaologists are sure it's airborne and that masking is a good thing, the poll asks for "popular".

    With the low level of regulations introduced for #IAQ, the near total lack of masking in healthcare, transport and indoor venues ,and the (large?) authorative pockets of "not-airborne" experts, I'm not sure they'll be popular.

  12. @TheSkeptic
    Would love to see a similar article that explains how science had SARS-CoV-2 as "not airborne" and N95 masks as "not working" when Covid started and for years (?) afterwards.

    While the deaths and injuries that CAMs cause are regretable, they don't number in the hundreds of millions as the deaths and injuries caused by Covid do.

  13. In the News:
    #Norovirus Rampant, worse than seen before

    What you need to know:
    In addition to being contact, food, & water-borne, it’s also #airborne. So if you want to SKIP THE VOMIT, you’ll need donn that #N95 respirator mask - in addition to washing your hands and avoiding contaminated foods.

    The kicker:
    If you’ve had covid, your immune system won’t be able to fight off norovirus like it did before. You are now more susceptible to any type of infection.

    It’s been a rough start to 2025, hasn’t it? Take care out there!

    I've got audio of an interview of #JacobBronowski in the late 1970s(?) talking about his concerns for how science would function as it became increasingly corporatised.

    Would like to see a history of how #ItsAirborne, #MaskUp and now apparently this was missed over decades, or in the recent deluge of research into SARS-CoV-2.

    Science is looking dangerously patchy.

    #CorporatisedScience

  15. @sharona

    Would be interesting to see cryptozoology compared and contrasted with the areas of science that had "It's spread by surface contact or large droplets in the very local air" as the dogma when Covid-SARS2 arrived.

    Could also include the scientific "Masking doesn't work" crowd.

    #ItsAirborne

  16. @frankcat
    The mainstream science knowledge was that it was spread by touch and by droplets that carried some 6ft or less. And that it was not carried as fine particles in the air. That's why blue surgical masks were deemed appropriate for hospital staff - they protect against droplets.

    Mastodon account @jmcrookston has references about the "not airborne" error and the date CDC finally and quietly acknowledged that #ItsAirborne.

    The #ABC has stopped #Coronacast - last episode was on Tuesday 7 November 2023.

    No explanation was given for the sudden end.

  19. Listening to the car detailing guy across the street hack and cough and sneeze into the owners Porsche Cayenne as he “cleans” the interior. Hope the neighbor doesn’t have to go anywhere for a few days.
