    Yes, and we all thought that the Russian military was competent. We were wrong.

    That is an impressive enough resume I suppose. What is your opinion on the direction given to the public by the NIH? are they some sort of scammers? Is your posistion influenced by the politics around the pandemic, or is the rest of the scientific community just plain wrong and only you are correct? https://newsinhealth.nih.gov/2021/11/face-masks-covid-19 You may think that we don't already know about the Dunning-Kruger effect but you are wrong in making that assumption. The bottom like is that face masks can and do play a role in reducing the spread of droplets containing viral particles therefore reducing but not eliminating the spread of viral infection. At a time when the health system was overwhelmed with cases of covid leading to sever overtaxing of the system anything reducing the infection rate was very much welcomed and needed.

    Such a terrible thing, especially because he was so very much certain. Does anyone know if he's still dead?

    Is that the one where you could put any name down and click the box that said you were a scientist? I heard Mr. Banana Rama's scientific accomplishments are very special. And, who isn't aware of the science behind the healing powers of Mongolian overtone singing? Do you not see the irony touting your scientific record and then hyping the validity of the Great Barrington Declaration based on the number of signatures?

    Why? They're pretty limited as far as what they can do. They are often necessary for keeping the country operating. You know, like now when the "Freedumb CooCoos" are actively blocking any legislation that benefits Biden in any way. Also, it's kind of funny how loudly the conservatives scream about them when a D is in office, yet how silent they are about them while an R holds the position.

    Not quite. They are better at reducing transmission than infection - so it would be more like protection goes up 75%.

    Yup. Like so many other powerful things. Used for my benefit, it's awesome. Used against me, awesomely frightening.

    There are some fairly major events in the last twenty some years that have made the US less eager to spark new middle eastern conflicts.

    Right. That's why doctors wear them. And dentists. And tattoo artists. And cancer patients. Your 'training and experience' is... Bullshit. What's next? CO2 poisoning from wearing them?

    This is a link to a Go Fund Me account being set up for a re-scan of tie particles. Through Tom's goodwill and McCrone Labs' interest in the case, McCrone has agreed to do a re-scan of one of the tie stubs for only $500, which is essentially at cost for microscope time. We are setting up the account for up to $1,500 for the possibility (no guarantees) that McCrone might agree to re-scan an 2 additional stubs in the future at the same cost. A re-scan would provide x-y coordinates with a true "north south" orientation that would allow Tom to look at specific particles of interest more easily and definitively. Thank you for your consideration. http://This is a link to a Go Fund Me account being set up for a re-scan of tie particles.

    He was holding out for a mask that was "Nine-Nine-point-Nine" percent effective, but none met his requirements. :-(

    Here's a guy who wouldn't wear a mask.

    In my professional training and experience working with aerosolized pathogens both in both research laboratories & in the field for national bio defense, (DOE, DOD, DHS), cloth masks are ineffective at preventing virus transmission. This has been in the knowledge base for about 100 years.

    You mean the side that a diminishing minority of scientists go to? Forbes (that liberal rag) source: 80-90% accept anthropogenic climate change, and that was a number of years ago. How many doctors does it take saying something is good for you to accept that it might be — especially if you see it as something good? Wendy P.

    Hi My Name is Dan Johnson I had the pleasure of teaching Tom his First Jump Course at Pepperell. He was a fantastic student. You show him the dive and he would practice it until jump time. We combined Level 4&5, because he was so on it. So sorry for your loss.
