It's not like we were born with an innate understanding of N95 masks and airborne transmission. Many of us put in the intellectual effort to understand it, starting in 2020. You don't need a medical degree to understand this stuff. It has been explained, and explained, and explained.

Before I give up masking in public spaces, those spaces will have publicly available air quality monitoring, or obvious evidence of large-scale HEPA filtration.

GOOD NEWS: Despite RFK Jr saying he would cancel $500 million in mRNA research, the House Committee on Appropriations has passed a spending package, that includes $1.1 billion for “advanced research and development” at BARDA, which includes research on mRNA vaccines.

I realize I post a lot about public health even though my professional expertise is in physics and I definitely don’t want to misrepresent my expertise! It’s just that I am experiencing the world from INSIDE A HUMAN BODY and so are ALL OF MY FRIENDS which is, honestly, more than a little concerning.

The other concerning thing about the Covid and flu vaccines is also just how late they are arriving at pharmacies this year. October is late, for the past year now it has also allowed more flu & Covid cases to escalate because they should be in place for when the school term begins. Of course most 🧵
