"The 60-Year-Old Scientific Screwup That Helped Covid Kill"

"All pandemic long, scientists brawled over how the virus spreads. Droplets! No, aerosols! At the heart of the fight was a teensy error with huge consequences."

This is a long, entertaining, and perhaps chilling story behind the stubborn reluctance of the medical establishment to admit that the covid-19 virus is spread through the air. Even though it’s from May of 2021, I discovered it just recently.

The punch line for me is near the end, where one scientist says: “… acknowledging this history—and how it hindered an effective global response to Covid-19—will allow good ventilation to emerge as a central pillar of public health policy, a development that would not just hasten the end of this pandemic but beat back future ones."
