I've been trying to avoid reading the #disinformation in comments regarding #monkeypox.

It started horribly with racist and homophobic vitriol.

Of course it has now in the domain of the antivax and their perceived "gotcha" moment against "big pharma".

1/n

#SciComm Photo of vaccine insert of the COVID-19 AstraZeneca vaccine. It reads: 'Recombinant, replicon-deficient "chimpanzee adenovirus" (circled in red pen) vector encoding the SARS-CoV-2 Spike glycoprotein. The most obvious flaw in this "gotcha" is that they are not the same type of virus, nor are they even related.

One is an #adenovirus and is from the family Adenoviridae.

The #MonkeypoxVirus is an #orthopoxvirus from the family Poxviridae.

2/n

Picture of an Adenovirus. It shows a icosahedral nucleocapsid containing a double stranded DNA, non-enveloped (without a lipid bilayer) virus mainly composed by the structural protein, hexon, and other components associated with its interaction with the host cells (penton base and knobbed fiber)
Schematic drawing of (cross section) of Orthopoxvirus virions (one enveloped, one not) and structural proteins. The orthopoxviruses are enveloped with brick-shaped geometries and virion dimensions around 200 nm wide and 250 nm long. Orthopoxvirus have linear DNA genomes around 170–250 kb in length
Phylogenetic analysis of old world and new world orthopoxviruses. The new world branch contains North American orthopoxviruses. The old world branches containing camelpoc, taterapox cowpox, variola, cowpox, vaccinia, monkeypox and ectromelia viruses.

Someone/something killed Miss Millie today.

She was my everything.

She was my last remaining connection to this world.

I don’t know how I will continue without her.

Hold your fur babies tonight.

#DogsOfTwitter
#RainbowBridge
#AdoptDontShop Image I still haven’t been able to see her body.

Have to wait around 15 more hours until I can.

Apparently it was a blood bath. Millie was so good natured she wouldn’t have tried to defend herself.

I will be ordering a post-mortem.

For now I will drink.
