Thank you to the San Francisco State University masked Professor who stated on the first day of class ‘Don’t be afraid if you’re the only person masking, you’re doing the right thing protecting your health’. My daughter being the only other masked person in the classroom. ❤️— 💜 Valerie Jay (@ValerieJay16) February 22, 2025

The fact that Covid is dangerous is at odds with how most people live. So they pretend it’s not, because it’s too hard to do anything about. It would be more convenient for it to not be true. But it is true. So what can the average person do to mitigate in a realistic way? 1/

Again, let me be clear. I wish people masked all the time. But if you’re currently a person who masks NONE of the time, it’s better for you to mask at least sometimes. 10/

Today's a great day to remember that, if you need a doctor's note to wear a mask at work:

  1. The CDC has helpfully provided a list of high risk conditions which can necessitate masking in order to protect yourself or a loved one, and...

  2. Many of them are very, very common.

I've been trying to explain this for two years now. N95s were designed primarily for male caucasian faces. KN95 and KF94 standards came about not because we wanted a knockoff mask standard, but because Asian faces could not pass fit tests with N95 masks.

Thread So all this BS about there being no RCTs proving mask effectiveness are lies.

A) A proper RCT is impossible, and B) an RCT that tested "being forced to wear a respirator, but only at work" vs "up to you" showed respirators meaningfully reduced infection.

Thread 🧵 refuting a spurious case against mask requirements in healthcare

I won’t link a recent anti-mask article by infection control specialists as I refuse to amplify. However, I will address the inept “downside” case they tried to make for “Why Not” to mask in healthcare
