During her work at Rutgers University microbiologist Elizabeth Bugie (1920-2001) was involved in the discovery of streptomycin, the first antibiotic effective against tuberculosis. While her boss received the Nobel Prize for this discovery, she wasn’t mentioned. Honouring her work on the discovery and evaluation of antibiotics, DSMZ researchers named the strain Streptomyces bugieae (DSM 41528) after her.

It's always been an unspoken rule that able bodied society doesn't want to see us, doesn't want to be reminded of us, and now we're seeing an effort to eliminate all the 'soft' jobs that we use to survive in this capitalist hell, it's very transparent that the fate of disabled people under an 'ai' economy is to starve

Why am I hammering this drum so much? Why am I quoting these articles in such depth?

Because if the HICPAC guidance becomes the new policies of the CDC (which they likely will), then healthcare workers will be subjected to false information on efficacy of masks, less protection, hospital-infections more frequent (they're already high), and all of us will suffer.

All because HICPAC cares more about cost-saving than science and patients.

We need the uproar to continue. #Mask #Airborne

I'm not a fan of KN95s for the same reason NIOSH isn't, but the bar is underground. At least it's a filtering facepiece
