I don’t know who needs to hear this—(cough, @WHO, @CDCgov cough)—but #monkeypox’s daily new case rate just spiked 25%—📍and that’s even a 7-day average! Pandemic yet?

➡️Please read our new oped with @kavitapmd @yaneerbaryam:
washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…

Data: ourworldindata.org/monkeypox
2) We have tracked almost 9000 cases in 2 months… vs recorded 2000 cases in 30 years.

Let that sink in. #MonkeypoxVirus
3) Here is our latest oped thread 🧵 describing my deep concern on #monkeypox 👇
4) Lazy politician—“I’m sure people can self manage their own risk”… my ass. Case in point:
5) Remember when the @WHO once insisted that the novel coronavirus is not a pandemic? I do.

FEB 4th 2020: forbes.com/sites/lisettev…
6) Remember also when @WHO still insisted COVID wasn’t a pandemic? And still under control? Even in late FEB 24, 2020? I do.

news.un.org/en/story/2020/…
7) But but but the WHO declared COVID a public health emergency in late January 30th 2020 didn’t they??? Well… only on the 3rd attempt after @WHO had DECLINED to declare a basic PHEIC public health emergency **twice** in mid to late Jan!

Receipts: cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspecti…
8) pandemic or not a pandemic? You tell me. Cases have surged up 1/3rd in just 1 week.
9) @WHO says: “It’s fine”. #monkeypox

📍A study of HCWs found Omicron infection had little or no beneficial effect of boosting any immunity antibodies, B-cells or T-cells—among people who had imprinting with earlier variants. “Omicron is far from a benign natural booster of vaccine immunity.” science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Image
2) the study above was among triple vaccinated UK healthcare workers. And the quote is from immunologist Dr Altmann in this FT article summarizing imprinting.

3) Fauci says past #Covid infection does little to protect against new variant.

‘Omicron as a broad category has been particularly problematic’

PROFITEERING—“Schools that install safety pods can see an increase in revenue due to higher enrollment, as parents feel secure in dropping their children off at schools that offer greater protection from active shooters”. Only in America. 🤦🏻‍♂️ #EndGunViolence Image
2) this shit is REAL. my next reaction — will rich private schools that can afford these dystopian bunkers be able to buy enough for all kids? If not, will teacher have to choose which kids get bunker protection and which do not? It’s messed up. Image
The gun-industry propaganda that “the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun” is completely destroyed by the shocking #Uvalde school videos — and by the testimony of these brave kids who watched the police do nothing for 77 minutes.

NEW—It is time for the global public health community to recognize a growing reality: #Monkeypox is now a pandemic—unless we declare an emergency & act quickly to combat it, we risk repeating the same mistakes we made with covid.🧵@kavitapmd @yaneerbaryam
washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…
2) No longer contained to a single continent or found only among travelers, the monkeypox virus is undergoing community transmission in dozens of countries worldwide and spreading unchecked at an alarming rate. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…
3) This is especially dangerous for the immunocompromised, pregnant women and young children. They all have a hospitalization and death rate from the virus that is much higher than that of healthy adults.

💡Let this sink in—guns now kill more Americans between the ages of 1-24 than motor vehicle accidents. ➡️Before guns took the lead, vehicle accident deaths was once the leading cause for 60 years. Not anymore. #EndGunViolence
economist.com/graphic-detail…
2) After more than 60 years in which motor-vehicle crashes were the leading cause of death for young people, guns now kill more Americans between the ages of one and 24. In 2020 more than 10,000 young Americans were killed by firearms, up from just under 7,000 two decades earlier
3) Regulations on guns have been loosened in much of America over the past 20 years. A bill that aimed to introduce universal background checks on gun sales failed to pass the Senate in 2013.

🧪T CELL DAMAGE—This doctor’s T-cells are way **below normal** on 5 different T-cell parameters after being #COVID19 infected 5 times! Several studies have found T cell suppression/damage after COVID. ➡️You do NOT want reinfections—don’t be blasé with mass infection! #LongCovid
2) so what is the evidence that #COVID19 is associated with T cell death? Here are some below. Notably one study even found more T cell apoptosis than even HIV according to immunologist @fitterhappierAJ
3) there used to be doubters on COVID’s negative effects on T cells. But those doubts are fading as it’s becoming slowly more clear there are major consequences on T cells.

📍“Super Gonorrhea… poses a major public health threat". #SuperGonorrhea is a type of antibiotic-resistant strain—some say it may be spreading from bad use of antibiotics like azithromyocin vs #COVID19 (remember that 2020/2021 trend?)

2) “Super Gonorrhea May Be Spreading From Antibiotic Overuse For Covid-19 Coronavirus”

3) Please, dear god, we don’t need Super Gonorrhea. You just gave us monkeypox to juggle with COVID.
