Let's be honest: if Cochrane said masks have a (+) effect ppl would search for flaws to confirm their priors. However, the "X" factor is HUMAN BEHAVIOR. If the majority of ppl don't follow/do/adhere to a treatment/drug/policy no matter how much it "works", it will fail.

@sarahbeth345 @CDCgov Trust tanked is big issue but also high seroprevalence in kids. My 3yo son had no sxs when my then 5yo had it during Delta & the sniffles when I had it in March. Given that I don't feel there's a need... I suspect many parents across the US are in a similar position.

Rather than argue tonight about what happened how about making sure everyone gets CPR training which might save someone’s life?

@TheEliKlein There’s nothing’s wrong w/ us MDs forcing Lyft drivers to mask while transporting us to med conferences followed by a Pharma-paid 🥩 dinner (yummers 😋) ending w/ a night on the town partying w/ our crew 💃🕺🍸. If we get COVID it’s the irresponsible driver’s fault & not ours.

@BallouxFrancois They do know something-- they know they're in deep 💩b/c they've painted themselves into a corner they can't get out of & are forced to double down on this unsustainable policy.

@krogercryptid @tarahaelle @andraydomise Why even mention the race of the kids and principal? The innuendo is obvious and plays a role in explaining his and his wife’s actions over the weekend.

Sure, we shouldn't shame ppl w/ or w/o masks. But N95 virtue-signalling pics in terms of "I do this to protect the immuno⬇️d" [therefore I'm more 👼 vs you] or f-word laden diatribes about lack of masks [followed by pics of that person out having fun sans mask] sure gets old

@VPrasadMDMPH Broadly characterizing people who don't do something you want as victims of misinformation fosters schisms and mistrust which is the antithesis of good PH messaging.

Some 'experts' haven't spent any time w toddlers & it shows. Forcing toddlers to wear cloth masks while they eat & sleep together w/o one is cruel & accomplishes nothing. Any parent w common sense can see this why don't epidemiologists?

Dr. Paul Offit fears CDC will recommend new Covid boosters for all when "a healthy young person is unlikely to benefit ..." After CNN pushback: "If there's not clear evidence of benefit, it's not fair to ask ppl to take a risk, no matter how small. The benefit should be clear."

Coughs & sniffles reducing MDs to anxious messes ranting about maskless vectors was not in my Bingo card for late 2022. #ZeroURIs 😷🇺🇦
