“His primary risk factor was close, NONSEXUAL contact w numerous unknown ppl at a crowded OUTDOOR event. His case highlights potential for spread at such gatherings, which may have implications for epidemic control.”
Note: “no prodrome” which means there were NO early signs and symptoms that occurred before the major symptoms began 😐 warning the patients that he was infected & shld stay home.
Does this speak to pre-symptomatic spread?
Also note that @CDCgov & others recently claimed you need a high level of contact (w/ virus) to become infected.
This worrisome report demonstrates (and actually states) that THEY DO NOT ACTUALLY KNOW.
@CDCgov —Precautionary principle ignored while spreading misinfo, again!
As was the case for months with #COVID19, the public was led to believe that surface transmission was the main event when PH and Fed officials knew it was VERY airborne.
There are likely a few modes of transmission with #Monkeypox, of which airborne is one.

⚠️NEW big study: “adds to evidence of virus’s potential to cause profound damage to central nervous system and exacerbate global burden of dementia…even a mild case is associated with brain shrinkage equivalent to as much as a decade of normal aging.” bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
“The results have important implications for patients and health services as it suggests new cases of neurological conditions linked to Covid-19 infection are likely to occur for a considerable time after the pandemic has subsided.”
“…it is worrying that some other conditions, such as dementia and seizures, continue to be more frequently diagnosed after Covid, even two years later.”
📣Important new #LongCovid study finds low cortisol & persistent infection (reservoir of Covid &/ or reactivated OTHER infections like EBV) may be driving symptoms.
Please look for other stealth, chronic pathogens like #Lyme and #bartonella, which also seem to be reactivating in face of Covid and causing patients to relapse. Re-treating TBDs has brought relief to some LC pts!
NO. @CDCgov guidance was NOT “confusing & overwhelming.”
It was and IS:
✅Intentionally misleading
✅anti-science
✅fueled by political COIs
They:
✅Called common things “rare,” leading ppl to take unwitting risks
✅Lied when pressed
✅Did same w #Lyme & now w 🐒🦠
Countless ppl following their guidance lost lives or their health bc @CDCgov withheld critical info from the outset, starting w the fact that #COVIDisAirborne & N95s were crucial.
Instead, they advised useless cloth & surgical masks long after N95s were widely avail to public.
They claimed being vaxxed made us “safe,” & no need to mask, while knowing breakthrough cases were common & causing Longcovid. They publicly lied & called it “RARE.”
There is no excuse and no “overhaul” that can reconcile this.
The immense, concerted effort to gaslight us to “go back to normal” & ignore high rate of Covid & emerging #Monkeypox pandemic feels very creepily like the lies they told us Jan/ Feb 2020, knowing what was coming.
Know abt this? Lots of same players. Trust them at your peril.
Feb 17, 2020: Fauci made headlines when he called risk of Covid infiltrating the US “minuscule,” while private emails and discussions reflected otherwise: usatoday.com/story/news/hea…
What’s stunning is this @USATODAY article from Feb 2020 stated that COVID was predominantly airborne, but airborne transmission was generally denied/ covered up for many months after that.
So, Fauci said not to wear a mask while article states virus is “predominantly”airborne!
For obvious reasons (#MPX in fall/winter), I moved a most of my med check-ups to last week.
Stuns & saddens me how woefully uninformed and ill-prepared our medical facilities and most HCWs are in dealing w airborne pathogens like Covid, MPX & others.
With few exceptions, all wore useless surgical masks (some front desk staff now, no mask), and several told me they were infected at work.
One was infected at work twice, hospitalized, young, with a newborn.
My dermatologist ofc had air purifiers in all rooms & wore KN95.
That was encouraging (though I told her I would upgrade to an N95). Her nurse, though, wore a surgical mask.
Sigh.
She didn’t know they don’t work for covid prevention. I clarified and she was genuinely appreciative.
