"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."

Via Isaac Kuo, who wrote "This is a fascinating story about how supposedly
intelligent scientists and researchers can hold an idea as fact for decades,
even though there is no evidence to support it. And what it took to get them to
see that they were completely wrong for all that time."
