2) 📌Furthermore, to protect against #monkeypox—doctors and nurses are recommended to wear N95 masks plus gown and gloves.
📌Decontamination protocols requires using bleach or using (harsh) quaternary ammonium reagents — which are chemicals found in pretty aggressive cleaners.
3) Routes of infection of #MPXV: (excerpted from below)
📌Intravenous
📌Oral
📌Intranasal
📌Inhalation / aerosol in primates (cough, @CDCgov, cough)
📌Intradermal
📌Cutaneous (skin)
4) Regarding #monkeypox transmission via cutaneous (skin) route… there is a recent story about a man in Spain who possibly contracted #MPXV via a handshake and 15 minutes using a scooter 🛴’s handlebars (& no sexual exposure). 👀
5) while there are a few treatments and vaccines… the only vaccine of easy administration and low side effects is the Jynneos vaccine made by Bavarian Nordic. This one is in extremely short supply worldwide. The US can’t get more for months.
6) let this sink in— the US will not get more Jynneos #monkeypox vaccine for month - until October at the earliest, according to @ddiamond. We are facing a vaccine cliff of no more for months. washingtonpost.com/health/2022/07…
7) the Mean incubation is 7-17 days for #monkeypox, but as short as 1 day and long as 31 days. And notably, “humans can be contagious before a visible rash appears”! 👀
8) Again, kids are much more vulnerable than adults for severe #monkeypox disease. While CDC says kids <8 are at high risk, the DHS report says kids <10 years old have been more frequently affected. Let’s take care to protect kids please! 🙏
9) this will not end well. There are those who can see around corners, and those who cannot. Don’t be the latter. Acting late is not better than never. Act fast and furious — furious precautionary action is the only thing can save us from even worse outcomes.
Concerning—CDC now says that 42 states are seeing rising rates of #COVID19 again—with levels high or very high in 35 states (and rising). COVID wastewater levels have already surpassed last summer’s peak and climbing fast. #CovidIsNotOver cdc.gov/forecast-outbr…
2) Substantial 28% increase in one week. Question is how high it will go. It’s a new variant (mostly KP2 and KP3 and JN1), which are evasive against past infection and past vaccines.
A girl using cover name JANE DOE testified under oath at Ghislaine Maxwell’s criminal trial that she was introduced to Trump by Jeffrey Epstein when she was 14 years old. Pass it on.
Trump’s name appears 7 times in Epstein’s latest files. They regularly called each other according to phone logs. Trump says Epstein is a “terrific guy”. And he traveled on flights, according to logs, to Epstein’s island multiple times.
3) THIS STUFF IS NEW—not old Epstein-Trump info. New information regarding Epstein's child trafficking activities was released 7/2/24. Documents from 2016 are now out of date and do not show the depth of Trump's dealings with Epstein... READ MORE:
Reminder—Trump had expressed executing people on many occasions while President, according to his own Attorney General. Now the Supreme Court has green lit any official act with full presidential immunity. Germany did the same in 1933. It turned out great.
2) If we ignore history, we are bound to repeat it. How Germany became Nazi Germany in 1933….
📍 The New York Times Is Failing Its Readers Badly on Covid
📌“Example of ‘science opinion’ run amok in the [NY Times] is a piece… by Zeynep Tufekci, a commentator with no training in biological science or epidemiology… ➡️Tufekci plays into the hands of the anti-science politicians who now seek vengeance on the flimsiest of grounds.”
2) “Tufekci also adds to the ongoing pile-on about whether the directive to maintain a distance of six feet from others was needed. Although the precise distance was indeed somewhat arbitrary, there was no possibility of obtaining hard data in the relevant time frame. The six-foot distance was a reasonable assumption based on public health history, and the practice of social distancing for other respiratory pathogens, particularly those spread by droplets. It was also adopted in multiple other countries, for the same reasons.”
3) “The problem here isn’t that Tufekci is questioning the evidentiary basis of the six-foot rule—science and public health cannot progress if we don’t evaluate the results of our work. But that progress is more effective when grounded in good-faith inquiry, rather than the kinds of attacks Tufekci levels against government scientists for doing their best in desperate circumstances. This only serves to bolster the forces who seek to destroy the US public health infrastructure, not make it better.
Tufekci also leaves the impression that she alone realized SARS-CoV-2 was airborne early on. In fact, the debate about transmission was fast and furious within the scientific community at that time”
⚠️Whooping cough has smashed all records in UK🇬🇧 with barely any serious govt actions. These are NEW CASES PER WEEK, not cumulative. Each week smashing previous. Other countries rising too amid anti-vax. Pertussis is also airborne!
3) Whooping cough is also extremely contagious. For up to 3 weeks. With UK govt advising staying home for 3 full weeks if no antibiotic treatment. How many people being told that and doing that?
