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.🤯

...more interested in burying mistakes than the integrity of their coverage.
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.

in march of this year, CBC radio’s signature science show, quirks & quarks, featured an interview about the silent organ damage COVID may be wreaking on our bodies.
no new information was presented—it was simply timed to coincide with the pandemic’s 5th anniversary.

From the developer, @noideawhatimcoding.bsky.social:
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:
⌚️ Apple Watch, with 2 complications
📱 iPhone lockscreen, with 2 widgets
Finally, CO2 monitoring that’s actually seamless and discreet.
