I’ve just read again the aerosol study on C19 carried out in Nebraska, in 2020.
They showed RNA in the air, on surfaces that could only be contaminated by the airborne route, and they even showed cytopathic effect and intact virus particles in cultures…
And this wasn’t enough to change anything.

Here's a podcast I've just done with Damian Tarnopolsky from the Narrative-Based Medicine Lab in Toronto. He's a very good interviewer and it's short and to the point (21mins). At the end I talk about AI-enhanced narrative medicine.
