Primes¶
- Swiss Cheese Model (Layered Defense with Aligning Holes)
- In public-health infection control, layered transmission controls — vaccination, ventilation, masking, distancing, testing — are each leaky, and residual transmission is the rare alignment.
This sourceAdapts Reason's Swiss cheese model to layered, leaky COVID-19 infection controls (vaccination, ventilation, masking, distancing, testing), each imperfect, with residual transmission as the rare hole-alignment — the model entering pandemic communication.
SupportedVerified against the work's full text
Mackay's infographic presents COVID-19 controls (vaccine, testing, ventilation, masks, distancing) as imperfect layers whose aligned holes let the virus through.
“And if the holes in one layer line up with the holes in another layer – a virus can get through.”
- In public-health infection control, layered transmission controls — vaccination, ventilation, masking, distancing, testing — are each leaky, and residual transmission is the rare alignment.
Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
