1629598530527535107 | Alle excuses en complottheorieen om die @cochranecollab mondmaskerreview maar niet ernstig te moeten nemen mogen wel eens in de kast. Je moet ze natuurlijk wel correct lezen. @BallouxFrancois legt het hier goed uit! @VanGuchtSteven @Patrik_Vankrunk @vanranstmarc @CarlvKeirsbilck https://t.co/jUG4d73I3Z | 25 |
1628810971094388736 | @BallouxFrancois That's about when I began speaking on pandemic threats. Now we also have immune systems disrupted by COVID, which changes the dynamics considerably IMHO. | 23 |
1630314172675395585 | @SpockTheVulcan3 @BallouxFrancois The same. None other than Course Hero’s “Let’s shut down schools so we can pitch our IP-infringing, online cheat sheets to a captive global market” VP of Marketing, Pueyo.

1630328274952810497 | Il y a 1 an, au moment du Pass Vaccinal => pas d’intérêt du booster chez les moins de 60 ans Faut il mieux protéger les libertés fondamentales? @MartinBlachier @BallouxFrancois @Conseil_constit @Conseil_Etat @CercleDL @DIVIZIO1 @AssoCovid @BonsensOrg @alainhoupert @ivanrioufol https://t.co/wdmEi1iq1k | 8 |
1628264451567927296 | @BallouxFrancois This is BS. COVID is the only virus to break into the top 10 cause of death for children in the US. You don’t have to sacrifice lives from one disease to save the lives of another. All of these are important. https://t.co/KwqwXZ0OTF https://t.co/6eRxx8c2wX https://t.co/OdBvJRjdow | 7 |
1628851398602375168 | @maolesen @BallouxFrancois Yes. attenuate innate immunity via less IFN-a then a smaller inoculum can infect more easily and shedding would be higher. same goes for attenuating adaptive immunity whatsoever. | 6 |
1630326253910622209 | @chrisms150 @BallouxFrancois Cloth and surgical masks are only good at stopping droplets, as even this article tells us. RCTs repeatedly show no advantage from N95s over surgical masks, and, at any rate, aren’t at all suitable for the general populace. https://t.co/28sbxFf9mz | 5 |
1629615766839361537 | @BallouxFrancois Why are we still debating masks? The study in the Uk on Covid wards was pretty conclusive. | 5 |
1628816174044614662 | @BallouxFrancois I have concerns that it could lead to higher viral loads, hence high chance for further mutation. One other big difference compared to the past is how much it is showing up in various species of mammals globally. | 4 |

1628819314080989192 | @BallouxFrancois Yes, I realize spillover happens, but the incidence seems much higher. Perhaps it is observation bias. Who knows. I am speaking to the more times a virus replicates, the higher the chance of a mutation, just like we have seen with COVID. | 87 |

1628176769546158081 | @BallouxFrancois @ajlamesa @bryanrwalsh Early 2020 data on the low risk to children is the thing that saved me from being a Covid hysteric. It's absolutely cruel that public health allowed this reassuring message to get lost along the way, at times actively disputing this obvious fact (at least in the US). | 51 |
1628684866907783171 | @BallouxFrancois @GYamey I don't understand how this makes any sense The premise of detecting a case in school just means one individual attended school whilst positive (having presumably caught it outside school, given no other cases present), which has no causal association with mask wearing in school | 43 |
1628251056017707008 | @BallouxFrancois It is both privilege and ignorance to ignore climate change and antimicrobial resistance. Social media popularity is not relevant to reality | 39 |
