The chairman of the Danish epidemic committee just wrote: "I'm just trying to explain why this term was not used in Denmark - because it would have consequences for the layout of the hospitals."

He is a great and honest politician, btw., and had no role in this decision. He is just relaying the decision made by the danish health authorities. But, this has to be the most direct admission yet as to why it was not acknowledged that coronavirus is airborne.

This is clearly an accurate account of the atrocities that happened in Bucha. The man who experienced all this goes to great lengths to tell the horrors as matter-of-fact as possible, even without bias. Historians should keep this source - like the rest of the world.

Der er mange i dag, der abonnerer på en helt igennem naiv og rosenrød forestilling om infektionssygdomme. Det er kun fordi vores forfædre tog disse sygdomme alvorligt, at deres fjollede efterkommere kan sidde her i dag og tale sygdommenes alvor ned.

Hvis befolkningen stadig skal have lyst til at støtte humaniora, inden vi bliver helt skamskåret, skal vi holde den videnskabelige fane højt. Det her er ikke et eksempel på at holde den videnskabelige fane højt.

Er lidt overrasket over at opdage at dyrlæger generelt er imod naturparker men omvendt lobbyerer heftigt for minkindustrien - når de ikke lige udskriver en masse penicillin til grise. Hvor er kæden lige røget af? 🤨

How can anyone write this in 2022? "Airborne transmission—taken in its traditional definition of long-distance and respirable aerosols—is not the dominant or exclusive route for SARS-CoV-2 transmission" @jljcolorado @kprather88

What! To erase that information about smallpox is reckless and dangerous WHO. How irresponsible can you be to erase this knowledge? Your predecessors eradicated this disease, and they called it airborne. You haven't even seen one single case yourself. apps.who.int/iris/handle/10…

Det er jo tydeligt, at den er helt gal med det moralske kompas hos ledelsen på skolen og i kommunen. Hvis ikke folk råber op og gør opmærksom på, at de ikke finder sig i at børn bliver voldtaget og mishandlet i skolerne, så sker der jo ikke noget. Det her må ikke gentage sig.

En af de bedre analyser af håndteringen af coronapandemiens første år er af @SociologenHD, der for en kort stund lagde sine sædvanlige sysler på hylden, og gav os et sjældent indblik i det øverste niveau af pandemihåndteringen. 1/

I England brokker de sig over, at de ikke er kommet i gang med at studere luftrensning i skoler noget før. I Danmark er alle tilsyneladende 100% ligeglade. Vi behandler vores biler med større forsigtig end vores børn lader det til...

This is the closest you come to a 17th cent. Witch trial. You have a. mysterious disease. You don’t understand the origin. But you feel an urge deep down to blame someone. Someone defenseless you already have prejudgement against and who you believe wields strange powers.
