The @WhiteHouse #monkeypox #MPX briefing was mostly very good news. New cases reports are way down across most of the US, and globally. But in the last week the demographics shifted, from a predominately white male outbreak to:
- 38% black men
- 25% Hispanic
- 26% white

2/#MPX
About 540,000 doses of #Jynneos #vaccine have been admin'ed in USA, and some men are now getting their 2nd doses -- which are essential for effective protection.
But there is a mismatch.
While 38% of new cases are black men, only 12% of vax uptake is in that group.

3/#MPX
The @CDCgov is shifting from from education/#vaccination campaigns at large gay pride events, to smaller, targeted efforts aimed at less-served groups.
Meanwhile, CDC says MPX "travels with" other STDs & #HIV -- 61% of diagnosed #monkeypox cases are co-infected.

1/10 🧵Are you wondering where the heck are we with #m̶o̶n̶k̶e̶y̶POX & how did we get here?!

@sacco9 shared this fantastic 🤩convo between @kai_wright & @reluctantlyjoe that is the clearest picture of this public health wreck decades in the making

2/ Repeatedly the most underserved or marginalized are not receiving adequate care when clearly these populations need the greatest investment!

🙏Thank you @ncdhhs @KodyKinsley for publishing this data🙏

3/ Being proactive and leading by example, as a primary investor in @BavarianNordic #Jynneos MPX vax, the US could've been there after 2017 Nigeria outbreak immunizing, but we & the global community continued to ignore black/brown plight...@Dimostic

Having now read the one study on intra-dermal #monkeypox vax & spoken with a few folks more knowledgeable than me about immunology, some thoughts below on @FDAgov @CDCgov approach

/1
Level of neutralizing antibodies from intra-dermal should be equivalent to subcutaneous. This switch should both expand vax supply & increase protection in those most at risk - critical goals right now.

/2
We still do not know for sure:
-how much protection comes from antibody response vs. other forms of immunity
-whether the total immune response varies by subcutaneous or intra-dermal

LA #FDA RENDERÀ DISPONIBILE IL VACCINO CONTRO #MONKEYPOX, SEBBENE SIA #SPERIMENTALE.
Non vi è alcun presupposto per sottoporre i bambini e ragazzi ad inoculazione del vaccino contro monkeypox, il #JYNNEOS, eppure, la #FDA vuole consentire ai medici di somministrarlo a tutti i giovani al di sotto dei 18 anni.
"L'epidemia"riguarda esclusivamente i gay.
La stessa #OMS ha ammesso che le persone a rischio sono gli uomini che hanno rapporti sessuali con uomini (MSM) ed ha ammesso, inoltre, di non essere sicura del #vaccino #JYNNEOS, in quanto in fase di sperimentazione clinica.

❗Contagio nosocomial de un médico 🇮🇱 manejando muestras de #virueladelmono #monkeypox
Siempre según la noticia, parece que tenía un EPI correcto, pero cometió un error en la retirada de guantes
Varias conclusiones:
-el riesgo cero NO existe
-importancia del entrenamiento adecuado. De nada sirve que me den el EPI correcto si no sé utilizarlo, ni tengo tiempo para entrenar por la presión asistencial

Information from today's @CDCgov clinicians' webinar on #monkeypox.

There have been 305 confirmed cases so far in the US

Interesting that @CAPublicHealth site has 65 listed, but only 43 in the CDC graphic
1/n Image
Number of cases detected over time.

Many cases are among men who have sex with other men.

But it is important to remember that anyone can be infected (and spread) #monkeypox, regardless of sex, gender, or sexual orientation.

Presentation is a bit atypical.

Lesions can appear different in one area of the body, compared to another.

Performing a full skin and mucosal exam is important.

Diagnosis with another #STI doesn't rule out #monkeypox
