Misleading the world about the mode of transmission of the pathogen threatening to “wreak havoc” was inexcusable….
Why have Tedros, Ryan and the WHO never been called to account?
…..they haven’t even bothered to offer an excuse for this tragic exchange.
Failing to learn allows history to repeat.

We need to understand the role of the likes of Mike Ryan and John Conly and their inability to deal with the idea of a pathogen being labelled AIRBORNE.
Failing to understand what happened at WHO and a lack of accountability from their leaders, means letting them go on repeating the same mistakes.

What gave Maria such confidence to speak with such certainty about the mode of transmission?
Completely disregard the precautionary principle?
Did she not understand the potential consequences of getting it wrong?
So many questions to be answered as to why WHO failed to learn from SARS1.

Hopefully many here are still interested in advancing the science of transmission and ending droplet dogma.
At the risk of boring many…but so important for WHO to really embrace the science to get any real progress in knowledge translation to the general public and governments.

We need experts that can understand and deal with the reality of the science of transmission….not those immobilised by heads in the sand groupthink and entrenched in erroneous historical droplet dogma.

Occupational health experts who understand transmission and the precautionary principle need to replace experts in IPAC
“Occupational health standards of control tend to be higher than those in a public health context and can contribute to the good practice of infection control and public health…”

Important to understand the IPC “droplet is good enough” groupthink perpetuated by John Conly
while at WHO….
Cost of N95s, fit testing, implications of saying it is AIRBORNE ie isolation requirements and negative pressure rooms, mistaken belief in efficacy of surg masks vs “perils” of N-95s….??

“The great: Finally, an acknowledgment that short-range airborne transmission is an integral component of all (not just COVID) airborne transmission.”
But WHO are still saying “direct deposition” or droplets for influenza?

Ebola “routes” of transmission…?
Travel, nosocomial, traditional healer, village…..
SARS2 has shown us we need to be more focused on getting the science of how a pathogen transmits right to have a better chance of more targeted and rational mitigation strategies.
