If you're talking about the nitric oxide spray, my friend used it at a conference and got COVID anyway, so where n=1, it didn't work. But then again, almost all of us got COVID. I was masked the whole time, he used the spray, others took no preventative measures, and it didn't seem to matter much.

Your anecdote and other similar stories I've heard seem to lend credence to one of the biggest factors for covid spread being circulated air systems. It's one of the biggest reasons I don't want to return to working in an office any time soon.

  I don't think we need to resort to anecdotes to conclude this. I think it was some time during the first wave that scientists began to communicate that indoor and enclosed spaces were far more risky than outdoor and well ventilated places.

    Oh sure, but since a good half of the US doesn't believe in science I think it's nice to point out that people's personal experience corroborates it.

      Science isn't a religion and isn't something people should "believe in". As to the lack of critical thinking skills on display over the past few years, now that's something I can believe is a problem.

  You misspelled "superfluous groups of people in enclosed spaces", which is why we had a pandemic in the first place. Some folks just can't be satisfied with a warning and have to stick the fork in the outlet for themselves.

  Depends how you define "getting COVID". To the general population, on a practical level getting COVID = getting sick themselves. You get invaded by gastroenteritis bugs on a daily basis, but you only practically "get" gastroenteritis when it leads to diarrhea.

  The president said that if you get the vaccine you won't get the virus: "You’re not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations." Early on they would kick you off social media for saying otherwise. https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-business-health-government-and-politics-coronavirus-pandemic-46a270ce0f681caa7e4143e2ae9a0211 https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-business-health-governm...

    Initial efficacy was ~95% against infection.

      A close examination of Pfizer trial results has called this figure into question. See thread https://twitter.com/Jikkyleaks/status/1633937931319787520?s=20 https://twitter.com/Jikkyleaks/status/1633937931319787520?s=...

        Did the president know that when he made the statement? Why is it that Faccui, the CDC, and the WHO are so hated but I haven't heard for an investigation into Pfizer.

Very poor anecdata, but does a lot of data worth of damage. What is the point of sharing this?
