We solved pandemics. (drops mic)
Transmission is mostly aerosols. Reflective UVC system, 1st to beat HEPA purifier. Halving cost, noise, and power consumption.
We engineered a new type of air purifier to end respiratory disease pandemics.
Whereas traditional air purifiers were designed as jack-of-all-trades devices, this is the first ever purpose-built machine, redesigned ground up.
2x air flow rate
2x lower cost
2x less electricity
According to a recent study by the World Bank, published in the journal Nature, lockdowns and the response to Covid-19 have pushed an additional 75 million people into extreme poverty, living on less than US $1.90 a day.

"Face masks release microplastics, which are directly inhaled during use or transported through the environment ... they can translocate to multiple organs upon intake, potentially causing detrimental and cytotoxic effects."

@ftxfuturefund@SBF_FTX@leopoldasch@willmacaskill@ketanrama We regret to inform the world that @SBF_FTX has failed in his stated aim of reducing bio-risks, for his fund failed to fund the one company that actually solved the respiratory pandemic problem. 🤦♂️
Cringe af.
Luckily, Bitcoin (something Sam does not yet understand) fixes this.
This is what happens when you LARP instead of doing real engineering.
100% of people who considered the problem seriously with a minimum of a middle-school-level science background figured out in-situ ventilation was the correct approach.
You helped bring about your suffering.
Despite being triple vaxxed, I was hospitalized with COVID on Sunday and Monday. On day 4 of symptoms today and still feeling awful. It set off a flare of my ankylosing spondylitis as well, so I’m in excruciating pain.
We know how to end pandemics, and it's an engineering problem at the scale of buildings and cities.
Pretending otherwise to stroke the ego of people working in biology/virology because it is "hard/sophisticated" has enabled all the suffering we have seen in the past year.
All billionaires to date (@patrickc, @peterthiel, et al) have proven themselves innumerate LARPers as evinced by their failure to assist in deploying the correct solution to COVID.
We wish these folks the best of luck in succeeding where so many before them have dismally failed.

"COVID will end in a few months when the vaccine is ready"

2 years on your incompetence has destroyed >$10 trillion.
We FULLY SOLVED respirator diseases -- cost? -- ~$300b.

Modern retirement homes especially are usually built like airborne virus incubators. Lots of rooms around central corridors, a central ventilation system that moves air (and anything it carries) throughout the building. Not a bright way of doing things.
We knew this over a year ago (arguably, it's been known for decades by all the true experts in the field).
Alas, the data so far suggests almost no one cares about the scientific data or working toward ending respiratory diseases such as COVID.
COVID is aerosol. Cleaning surfaces for COVID prevention is pseudoscience.

Excellent thread on failure modes of masks.
Purifying air or ventilation doesn't have a failure mode and is vastly superior to masking.
Failure to acknowledge/understand this among "elites/financiers/executives" is the primary reason for the continuation of COVID.

It's now acknowledged that COVID-19 is primarily transmitted by tiny aerosols generated through NORMAL breathing—not coughing, or flying spit globules.
Based on what we already KNEW about these respiratory aerosols, this should have meant MASKS OUT.

There is an estimated 97 billion sqft of commercial building space in the US.
With $200b, we could have air purified in all indoor spaces every 5 minutes, ending respiratory pandemics, most colds, and most flu in one fell swoop, but y'all just had to play Scientist.
#Lysenkoism
Failure to execute basic engineering tasks and pushing failed methodologies (such as experimental gene therapies plus masking) is killing people.
We can end the pandemic whenever we want.
We just need to stop denying physics.
STUDY: Obesity in youth significantly increases during COVID-19 pandemic
Age 5-11 up 28%
Age 12-15 up 13%
Age 16-17 up 4%
Full study: https://t.co/95pdnfYjKW
Are our policies helping or hurting kids?
Obesity is one of the leading factors in predicting covid severity & death.
Now this
Is not how you inspire trust
Whether you are a business
Or a state actor
Total failure to PROVIDE useful services
Alongside destructive and violent authoritarianism
Will be your demise

“Overweight or obesity increased among 5-11-year-olds from 36.2% to 45.7% during the pandemic, an absolute increase of 8.7% & relative increase of 23.8%.”
Closed playgrounds, parks, schools. Restrictions are making kids sick - physically & emotionally. https://t.co/dmMLeW4rHj
Canadian mannequin study finds mask filtration efficiencies of:
Cloth: 10%
Blue disposable: 12%
Fitted KN95: 46%
Fitted R95: 60%
KN95 with 3mm gaps: 3%
Even modest ventilation (2 air changes per hour) outperforms best mask.

Implications: masking works, but is less foolproof than ventilation. Also, we know masking sucks in general, and just like we drive cars instead of riding in horsedrawn carriages, we can easily increase ventilation with in-situ devices to eliminate the pandemic.

The news article was false to a degree that reflects such high illiteracy, there is no point in responding to it directly, but let's see what the study actually shows.
Fucking idiot.
You're quoting an MSM article not the actual study.
This is why the left thinks everyone who is against vaccine and anti-COVID measures is a fucking idiot.
What they don't show in the midwit meme is the actual distribution of tails is 1000x heavier on left side.
Key Takeaway 3: barriers and distancing were observed to have a near 0 effect, providing further proof that SARS-COV-2 is spread almost entirely through airborne aerosols.
