"As we mark five years since the emergence of SARS-COV-2, the most grievous
error of the global pandemic response has become very clear.
It’s not “lockdowns,” as many right-leaning folks might suggest. Nor is it the
inflation-stoking government support measures and central bank policies that
many have argued were highly excessive. It’s not even the failure to address
online health misinformation, as centrists and leftists might claim. It’s even
more basic and essential than that.
Indeed, these concerns were partly induced by a single major scientific
inaccuracy first illustrated at the World Health Organization (WHO) Coronavirus
press conference on Feb. 11, 2020, when WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom
Ghebreyesus said:
“Sorry, I used the military word, airborne. It meant to spread via droplets
or respiratory transmission. Please take it that way; not the military
language. Thank you.”
Failure to reasonably presume, then later accept the airborne spread of COVID
and operationalize the appropriate structural mitigations is at the source of
every major shortcoming in our response to the pandemic, and every major form
of physical, mental, economic and social harm it has brought about. It doomed
our public health, social and economic responses, ensuring they would not be
fully effective, appropriately targeted and minimally disruptive, ultimately
leading to many divisions in society we see today.
Allow me to explain. Let’s imagine a world where key experts and evidence were
not discounted, and where the dominance of airborne transmission of SARS-COV-2
was quickly accepted and acted upon."
