So the screamingly obvious thing to do *in advance* of an H5N1 outbreak is to begin educating the public on how respirators and air cleaning are effective defences against airborne pathogens like H5N1 and SARS-CoV-2.

Once we finally pry the bad guys out of the driver's seat and start adding up liability for the ongoing misinformation, I suspect a lot of it will be people whose initial knee-jerk "I'm smarter than everyone" was out of touch with reality, and wouldn't admit they screwed up.

Vol 3., Ch 8. To reiterate, this is basic knowledge from 2006. Every IPC and public health professional on the planet had free access.
Note IPC's made-up "3-foot rule", and the need for respirators (even with acceptance of the general ignorance of IPC professionals around airborne transmission).

JAMA published a response from the authors 👉admitting they had not even collected the data necessary to assess against the WHO PCC definition (the central claim of the paper)👈 and also misleadingly inserting the 2023 pediatric version (their ref #3 here) - never mentioned in the original paper.🤯

You may recall CBC breathlessly reporting #longCOVID incidence is "strikingly low" in kids. The study was transparent garbage - they didn't even collect the data necessary to do the analysis they claimed.
CBC didn't care.

🧵An example of the shenanigans and junk science accepted in medical journals.
In September 2023, JAMA Pediatrics published a ludicrously bad paper (quasi-retracted after much effort) claiming long COVID is "strikingly rare" in kids, supposedly vs the WHO definition.

Checking CO₂ with @aranethome.bsky.social always feel a bit clunky. Not quick or discreet enough.
So I built an app to see Aranet CO2 values, instantly on:

Finally, CO2 monitoring that’s actually seamless and discreet.

As a result, pollination may fail — which is bad news for flowers and crops.
