@NPRKelly - hi, yesterday, Miss Emmanuel unfortunately got a crucial fact wrong - I could hear your eyebrows go up over the children 👇.



Per Reuters it spreads in children with routine close contact👇. Not animals.

ualrpublicradio.org/npr-news/2024-…

Airborne respiratory aerosols are most concentrated w/in 6 feet.

As you can see below @WHOAFRO just pointed out that it is primarily inhaled.

Which means it's airborne.

Still not extremely transmissible, but more than last year, or year before.

Checking the AfricanCDC, we can see that there were 14,250 cases this year. The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) had 13,791 of them.

Children <15 years accounted for 68% of those cases and 85% of the death.

Human to human contact is mentioned.

From the WHO HQ report, we can see zoonotic mentioned "in some settings" .

That is not a primary mode of transmission. That would be phrased as "in most settings."

And in any event, it seems slightly not done for us to ignore @WHOAFRO .

@WHOAFRO @NPRKelly - I prefer to deal in data, but here's a very human example. A 6 week old contracted monkeypox from being in the same room.

Now, imagine being that baby's mother being interrogated by a family member. Image
@WHOAFRO @NPRKelly And that interrogation is a very real harm being recognized on the ground.

I don't know who Ms.Emmanual's source is, but it is clearly wrong.

@WHOAFRO @NPRKelly @mdc_martinus @NPRKelly - my apologies for tagging you, but you do have a significant pulpit, and it is important to get the details right.

Here is Dr. Lewis, Technical Lead of the WHO MPox team. Sharing that it is spreading through families and community contacts via face to face respiration
@WHOAFRO @NPRKelly @mdc_martinus Now, the video is above, but Dr. Lewis touched a key point that those who try to argue it is not airborne via respiratory aerosols fail to understand.

@mdc_martinus was privy to this conversation.

SEXUAL NETWORKS are efficient transmission networks.

Not that the physical Image
@WHOAFRO @NPRKelly @mdc_martinus physical direct touch of the sexual act is necessarily the vector.

We can see this in the CDC explanation of how it can be transmitted - talking or breathing.

They changed this to this after noticing presymptomatic transmission was happening.

cdc.gov/poxvirus/mpox/…


Direct contact can happen during intimate contact, including: Oral, anal, or vaginal sex, or touching the genitals (penis, testicles, labia, and vagina) or anus Hugging, massage, and kissing Prolonged face-to-face interactions (such as talking or breathing)
Image
Image
@WHOAFRO @NPRKelly @mdc_martinus So, let's tie it all together.

A network of people sexually involved will transmit far faster with respiratory aerosols than a network of casual acquaintances because they are directly in each other's face.

This was the same conversation had back

@WHOAFRO @NPRKelly @mdc_martinus In 2022 when @ReutersFacts decided to go after @danaparish.

I methodically explained all of this to them back then, as I am explaining it to you, now.

(@ReutersFacts - do please leave up your tweet.)

So, I've been bird-dogging H5N1, and it's been interesting watching the mutations stack up.

Did you know that mpox also has been having mutations stack up?

A thread of mutation and public (private wealth) health.

Turns out that mpox has picked up APOBEC3 mutations - Image
and that may be why it is more transmissible. It has ALWAYS been airborne.

Turns out that one of the key mutations came from a FEMALE in 2022.

This is ironic because of the insistence tht transmission came from MSM. Yes, I am still salty.

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

Image
Image
Tracking APOBEC3 back through the studies, we find human to human transmission SINCE AT LEAST 2016.

Crazy. And there were a ton of people screaming it was all MSM and zoonotic. Sit down. All of you.

Got a cat in Colorado and it gets sick? Better get it tested for H5N1. ESPECIALLY if it acts like it has rabies.

Even indoor cats based on the info next tweet.
🧵

-the cat cases
-video on symptoms
-phone numbers.
-bonus dog tip on public watering bowls
6 cat cases.

1 associated with infected farm.
2 were indoor ONLY cats.⚠️
3 were indoor/outdoor.

Some were tested for rabies due to the exact same symptoms. ⚠️

Per, Colorado Public Health, @oscarcontrarius , due to high prevalence of H5N1.


/2 colovma.org/cvma-news/infl…
One of these cases was directly associated with a known infected commercial dairy facility. Two of the six cases were indoor only cats with no direct exposures to the virus. Three of the six cases were known indoor/outdoor cats that hunted mice and/or small birds as prey and also spent time indoors with their owners. Five of the six cases have presented with similar clinical signs and disease progression: an initial complaint of lethargy and inappetence, followed by progressive respiratory signs in some and fairly consistent progressive neurologic signs in most. Several of these cases were ...
A helpful video to recognize the feline neurological signs of rabies AND H5N1.

A Brief History of Violenc- Covid Death. 🧵

@danaludwig nails it here in discussion with @EricTopol.

(Make sure you read Dr. Topol's article in his next tweet.)

Anyway, remember the whole "OF" and "WITH" C0Vid thing?
Dana- Covid is still killing, but not coded? Dr. Topol - likely, yes.
C0vid has long been missing from death certificates.

In 2021, this article pointed to the red states.


But there was no hiding the death comparison between red and blue states. So many studies dug into that.

missouriindependent.com/2021/12/22/unc…
cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/polit…

Uncounted: Inaccurate death certificates across the country hide the true toll of COVID-19 Some counties, like Cape Girardeau, have seen a spike in deaths that aren’t attributed to COVID-19. Many of them, blamed on natural causes, are likely from the coronavirus
Political party affiliation linked to excess Covid deaths
Until, the Democrats also disappeared C0Vid - all to re-elect Biden. Hit my profile for "Impact" memo, should pull it right up.

So, I view abrupt deviations like this👇 with an cynical eye.

Flat death until January 2021.

Decreases until January 2022.

Where it plummets. Uncounted: Inaccurate death certificates across the country hide the true toll of COVID-19 Some counties, like Cape Girardeau, have seen a spike in deaths that aren’t attributed to COVID-19. Many of them, blamed on natural causes, are likely from the coronavirus

Remember this 👇dairy worker from Texas?

While ocular receptors do exist on the eyes, this particular H5N1, also showed up as respiratory symptoms.

Scientists tested it and found it replicates in cells from the lungs, but not as quickly as the fatal version from the Blood shot eyes directly from the study.
2003/2004 Vietnam outbreak.

It was faster than an Ohio version from this same outbreak though.

A/Vietnam/1203/2004

A/Texas/37/2024

A/bovine/Ohio/B24OSU342/2024

As you can see below, the Vietnam grows more, faster.

But-there is more. (Study here)

An excellent article by @devnabose!

Unfortunately, it is not the stress of the pandemic causing GI issues like IBS, but C0vid itself.

And this thread of studies is based on variant fingerprints.

Each variant's mutations will infect and interact negatively
with the body in a different way.

Nadya Okamoto, @nadyaokamoto, the protagonist in this article has had her IBS for about 3 years.

She has tried multiple medications to try and resolve it - to no avail.

And that caught my eye. Because Delta is known for being GI intensive.
The scoop on poop Nadya Okamoto hadn’t pooped in four days. “I’m very bloated,” she said as she joined a Zoom interview from her home in New York City. Okamoto, who has more than 4 million followers on TikTok, has built her platform around publicly addressing sensitive subjects. The 26-year-old is the founder of August, a period-product company, and frequently posts about her own menstrual cycle.
Some of her most popular posts over the last three years, though, are about her experiences with irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS. Okamoto seems to share her experiences with everything — collecting fecal samples for colon cancer, constipation and bloating. “It wasn’t until I started dating and being in close relationships and talking about it with my family that I realized … it was not normal pooping three times a month,” Okamoto told The Associated Press. Seeing the hashtag “IBS” on TikTok led her to the doctor and to a diagnosis. She’s been on three different medications to treat her I...
A quick Google, and there it was - July 16, 2021, most likely a Delta infection based on timing.

BTW, I get why Nadya has 4 million followers - very charismatic even just over the podcast. She is building something great with August.

Anyway, a couple

Variant fingerprints. Please cue the Jaws soundtrack in your mind.

Variant fingerprints - some variants are more gut orientated. Some lungs. Etc.

But government enhanced protections are growing weaker.

Those variant fingers are likely to grab us by the heart one day.

Back on December 27,2021, Delta and their chief medical officer, CarlosdelRio7 wrote RWalensky asking her to shorten the 10 day isolation policy.

She agreed, despite everyone informing her that this was not good. We know the usual reasons why.

Transmission lasts longer than 1-2 days, people won't mask, people forced to work will be more likely to get LongCovid. More people will infected.

Blah, blah - all turned out to be true.

And, at the time, BA.2 was starting to pop up....

But.... Image
