The debate btwn @kprather88 & @DFisman and the WHO's Dr. Conly should become standard viewing for philosophy/history of science courses. Rarely has such stubborn adherence to scientific dogma plainly contradicted by voluminous evidence been documented in real time like this. https://twitter.com/jljcolorado/status/1381011410533093377
The @WHO has made a laughingstock of itself and is now undermining its credibility in other areas, which is unfortunate, as they do much good work. @jljcolorado, who has been fighting against droplet dogma from the beginning, depicts the situation well. https://twitter.com/jljcolorado/status/1381034991489052674
Probably the most essential thread for educating oneself on the aerosol/droplet discussion is this one from August. It's hard to conceive how anyone who's read this could still believe in large-droplet transmission except as a way to advance their career. https://twitter.com/jljcolorado/status/1292880342227984385
And here's another great thread from the same time period that makes an excellent supplement to the one above. https://twitter.com/jljcolorado/status/1295518786951319552
Perhaps most incredible is that droplet dogmatists like Dr. Conly insist that evidence for aerosol transmission is insufficient when there has literally been ZERO direct evidence documenting droplet transmission for ANY disease. Astounding. https://twitter.com/jljcolorado/status/1283677300026793984
@jmcrookston has been an invaluable resource in documenting the origins and history of droplet dogma. Much of it goes back 100 years or more. https://twitter.com/jmcrookston/status/1343233851070558209
@linseymarr, who specializes in both aerosol science and disease transmission, has been another excellent source of information on the airborne spread of SARS-CoV-2. https://twitter.com/linseymarr/status/1235640400054046724
And @kprather88 has been a warrior, working tirelessly to get the CDC, the WHO, and decision-makers everywhere to acknowledge that #COVIDisAirborne and do what is necessary to save lives. https://twitter.com/kprather88/status/1380664292328927242
