Comment on "Public deserves to know”: Harvard Professor says official messaging contradicts hantavirus science
givesomefucks@lemmy.world 1 day agoFirst, none of this:
As the video talks about, just walking within four feet of an infected person is enough for transmission…
No coughing, no sneezing, not even talking required.
A dude four feet away is breathing normally and may feel like their allergies are acting up, and that’s enough for you to catch something with a 40% mortality rate …
Was in the comment I replied to.
It literally was…
Officials keep saying it’s not respiratory, it’s not human to human, and it’s no big deal…
None of that is true for Andes,
I’m genuinely asking because everyone deserves to hear this in a way they understand…
Is the way I wrote that Andes is respiratory, it’s transmissionable to humans, and a big deal just not comprehendable?
Because I’m already dialing it down a lot, and the issue is if I dial it down too much, there’s no more “why” for why we should be concerned.
If you so finally understand this, can you phrase it in a way that you would have understood immediately?
None of your claims about transmissibility are in the article you linked to. That article is all about protein complex imaging.
The source for the claims seems to be the video. Fine. I understand the person in the video is highly accredited. I will watch it when I am able.
Block me, I don’t give a shit.
The problem is, you’re repeating dangerous scientific misinformation…
That could very likely result in actual deaths if anyone is naive enough to listen to you.
If you can’t understand this, can you at least stop making confident sounding comments that contain dangerous scientific misinformation?
I don’t know why I blocked you before, but this time you’re causing actual human suffering and death, it’s not just you or if anyone can help you understand.
It’s now about making sure you stop spreading misinformation that will lead to death and suffering
I have him tagged as “idiot” and looking at his comments here, I’m once again 100% certain that he is one.
I never used tags before. I got you tagged now too!
