Thanks for a sad, tragic, but well documented and fantastic, review of the world wide abdication of scientifically necessary clear, detailed and validated revision of the understanding of how airborne infections are spread. Extraneous, non-medical considerations, of profit and convenience, have led, and continue to lead, to unnecessary morbidity and mortality due to COVID-19 and other infections. As you so dramatically pointed out, now-a-days, we do not institute blood precautions only when we think the person in front of us is gay. Internationally and locally the health care system does not CARE for us. No wonder trust has withered away!

In September of 2024, I attended the LLS (Leukemia & Lymphoma Society) Virtual National Blood Cancer Conference. There was a breakout session for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). The oncologist present updates on treatment, etc ... During the Q&A someone virtually asked if they should wear a mask to their treatment sessions. The oncologist quickly responded, 'It's a personal choice.... because we have Paxlovid'.

WTF ???? So, this is the message from professionals. 'Don't worry about prevention, because we have this one half assed pathetic treatment option'.

I'm very grateful for you, Julia Doubleday, for sharing your relentless research. The messaging is so very frustrating... and the medical community, for the most part, is not only clueless, but continue to perpetuate the disinformation campaign and minimize any assertion of facts, notably via their modeling.
