    So they've made Chapin into dogma and treated it as basic to their Transmission of Respiratory Diseases paradigm?

    Humans ... smh.

  2. 1/2
    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".

  3. '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?

    #MiasmaPhobia might be the irrational fear of anything, including experiment results, that might evoke memories of the antiquated theory of diseases being caused by bad air.

    So "Miasmaphobia resulted in the repeated rejection of research that supported the theory of airborne vectors for respiratory diseases. This rejection continued up to, and even past, the emergency phase of the Covid-19 pandemic."
