Saying "during Covid" and meaning 2020 is like saying "during Trump" and meaning when he was on The Apprentice.

If there was just one single lesson we should have learned from covid, it's that people don't understand airborne pathogen transmission.

We should have learned that and then taught everyone how airborne transmission works and how to stop it.

It would have been a whole lot easier - and ultimately cheaper for the government - if they had installed air purifiers in schools and hospitals and other public buildings.

COVID, measles, meningitis… can we skip to the part where we clean the air we breathe?

[Kimberly Prather, Ph.D. @kprather88]

1/ If I hear one more public official call indoor air filters a "band-aid," I'm going to explode! It's so logical, yet so readily dismissed. Filtering indoor air should be as standard as filtering water. Full stop. 🧵

Look at that.

That is just incredible.

Seriously.
Just look at it for five minutes.

Let it soak in.

We’ve created the perfect sickness storm because whether you have covid or not right now, whatever sickness you have is probably worse because Covid damaged your immune system or other organs. But still we do almost nothing to prevent or reduce multiple Covid infections.

⚠️Former CDC officials say that directives came down (to change the vax schedule, etc) from RFK Jr directly, and division leaders were told to find the science to support it… ie ‘make the proof’. CDC staff who resisted were fired. CDC also fired ethics, IRB safety staff, & HR.

[Jerome Adams @JeromeAdamsMD]

All the arguing over masking and vaccinating kids, when so much could be done to help them with far less controversial air purifiers. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[ABC News @ABC]

Nine former CDC directors are speaking out in an op-ed in The New York Times, saying Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is endangering the health of Americans. https://t.co/Sf4wgisbXA

And about genocide. And about poverty. And about dictatorship in the United States.

Apparently man made climate change is a hoax but geoengineering the climate is real

Make it make sense

[Eric Feigl-Ding @DrEricDing]

SOMEONE TEACH RFK Jr—Correlation is not equal to causation.

Bill Nye the Science Guy—“Just because somebody got a vaccination and then somebody else got autism doesn’t mean one caused the other. [RFK Jr]’s views have been debunked up and down.”

[American Academy of Pediatrics @AmerAcadPeds]

The American Academy of Pediatrics joined fellow medical leaders in a new op-ed in @statnews with a clear, urgent message: Vaccines work—and they save lives. https://t.co/WKuf2nJmVP

No

Don't

I keep seeing posts about people being ill. In June. It's always the flu, possible pneumonia, etc. In June. Never a mention of the C word. It's a mystery. It's like there is mass amnesia of a global pandemic that stopped the human world. And has stopped spreading.

The polio vaccine is better than polio

The meningitis vaccine is better than meningitis

The tetanus vaccine is better than tetanus

The diphtheria vaccine is better than diphtheria

[American Academy of Pediatrics @AmerAcadPeds]

More than 98% of families in this country choose to vaccinate their young children. But now, vaccine policy is being shaped by the small, extreme minority that doesn’t. This decision doesn’t reflect, protect or support families.

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

All my worst fears about RFK Jr as HHS Secretary are coming true
