Firstly, it depends on what you mean by CLD. On the NIAID website it says, "The term “chronic Lyme disease” (CLD) has been used to describe people with different illnesses. While the term is sometimes used to describe illness in patients with Lyme disease, it has also been used to describe symptoms in people who have no clinical or diagnostic evidence of a current or past infection with B. burgdorferi . Because of the confusion in how the term CLD is employed, and the lack of a clearly defined clinical definition, many experts in this field do not support its use." (Source: What is "chronic Lyme disease?", Chronic Lyme Disease, NIAID). I wish I could link it but if you go to their website and just search "chronic lyme disease" you'll find it. I've seen the term used by the alternative health crowd to promote questionable "treatments" for patients for a vague collection of symptoms. So it's use is problematic. Certainly when I hear it, my brain shouts "scam!". Because a lot of the time it is. That's probably why nobody is talking about it.
True but maybe because the one he is talking about could be mostly prevented if some people weren’t so reckless and disg. and as a result put others at risk
I also wonder if the poor conditions and poor health of these children (mal nutrition, malaria etc) has alot to do with the higher death rate. Its so sad.
Clean drinking water, good nutrition, and access the health care have made more of a difference in pandemics than vaccines. The WHO used to quarantine these outbreak areas. Do they still do that??
The newspapers in Sweden say that the old smallpox vaccine that we got up until the 1970's could still be protective against modern day Mpox. Only risk groups are being vaccinated against Mpox as of right now in Sweden.
I was vaccinated against Small Pox sometime after my birth in 1962. Does that mean I might possibly be somewhat immune or at least display some resistance to M pox?

No, we don't all know that becuase serious viruses existed before we had gain of function research. Also, as controversial as this research is, I'm not sure how you can plan ahead for pandemics without being able to predict future generations of viruses. And that's what gain of function research is for. They're trying to develop vaccines and treatments *before* we're actually infected with the stuff.
Funny thing is that someone I know told me several weeks ago that MPox was being amped up with gain of function and the plan was to release it in Africa so it can move out around the globe by people using air travel. Once they’ve got in into different countries they will then stage another lockdown. He wont tell me how he knew this, but given his track record for being right all the time about whats coming down the pike at us, I would be ready for a lockdown and be wary of any subsequent vaccines.
@@realhumanist71 Exactly! We don't know that Clade 1b is a leaked gain of function version or that there is even such a version. As a retired microbiologist it was basic to research to select for bacteria and viruses with new functions (e.g carbon monoxide metabolism) or loss of functions to better understand the organisms for useful commercial applications. For 50 years this research is not controversial except in some cases involving human pathogens where regulations are usually and rightfully imposed to protect public safety. No criminal intent nor behavior involved. Of course when anti-science politicians with a political agenda get into the act political controversy, independent of facts, gets created. To give a sense for the normalcy of all this there was an announcement for recent NIH symposium for scientists which . "Routine virological methods involve experiments that aim to produce a gain of a desired function, such as higher yields for vaccine strains, but often also lead to loss of function, such as loss of the ability for a virus to replicate well, as a consequence. In other words, any selection process involving an alteration of genotypes and their resulting phenotypes is considered a type of Gain-of-Function (GoF) research, even if the U.S. policy is intended to apply to only a small subset of such work. Such experiments in virology are fundamental to understanding the biology, ecology, and pathogenesis of viruses and added that much basic knowledge is still lacking for [Influenza,] SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV"
What this means to the current administration and many other world governments is that they intend to open the borders wider.. 🙄. Remember the last pandemic? When they gave people two weeks of more travel before shutting things down.
According to renowned internist Dr. Peter McCullough “the average American should not have any concerns over this illness.” Dr. McCullough pointed out that 96% of the monkeypox cases in the recent outbreak occurred in the Congo, “one of the poorest countries in the world.” “Clade 1 of the virus, the current strain is being spread by sex workers and largely gay/bisexual males with intensive sexual contact,” said Dr. McCullough, confirming the WHO’s admission that the new virus strain, “clade 1b,” is spreading primarily through sexual contact.
I have been practicing self segregation for a few years now and it has worked out very well for Me. Avoid other people as much as possible and also boycott the economy as much as possible. Buy only food and basic supplies. There will be shortages.
Thank you for taking the lead and keeping us informed! In your next video I hope you’ll discuss the mechanism by which the virus enters the body, as well as effective measures for preventing entry.
Informative? Really? According to renowned internist Dr. Peter McCullough “the average American should not have any concerns over this illness.” Dr. McCullough pointed out that 96% of the monkeypox cases in the recent outbreak occurred in the Congo, “one of the poorest countries in the world.” “Clade 1 of the virus, the current strain is being spread by sex workers and largely gay/bisexual males with intensive sexual contact,” said Dr. McCullough, confirming the WHO’s admission that the new virus strain, “clade 1b,” is spreading primarily through sexual contact.
@@jackdbenisi7084 What is the evidence that the *current* strain is being spread “largely by gay/bisexual males with intensive sexual contact”. Nothing in the data or studies would suggest that. The Congo hospital study shows that 52% of cases are women, unlikely to have been infected by gay/bisexual males. No data on the sexual orientation of those infected in the Congo is available, but all the evidence points to transmission in the general population. Not a single gay/ bisexual male outside of the Congo outbreak has been infected by this new clade 1b variant. How do you figure then that it is largely spreading through that sector? That makes no sense.
@@Medcram Not at this rate. Not geneticaly modified viruses as It has been proved with COVID. It's so Unique nobody has been able to track It to any animal with precision. It's an artificialy Made virus.
Wouldn't it make sense to have many strains, if one strain "evolved" in 2 years into another strain? And it is strange that in such a short period of time it acquired contagiousness and mortality.
Yes, and more importantly, we need to get a coordinated effort for resources so that this can be contained. It also involves getting the word out that risky behavior needs to be curtailed.
That’s why the schools were i live are pushing for kids to get vaccinated this year. Like if you don’t get all your vaccines you can’t start on time you can get an exemption form but it only for two weeks. The elementary and middle and high school are also holding a vaccine drive so this makes sense.
How does the mpox infection actually occur? Also, why aren't women considered "at risk," as indicated by the ACIP (@14:50)? Or straight people? Why is it only men who have sex with men? The other risk factors listed may be just as applicable for them, so that's what raised the question for me as to exactly how the infection occurs.
It isn’t just gay men at risk. 52% of pateients in the Congo hospital study were women. The vast majority of cases in this outbreak are among heterosexual people.
@@veraluxmundi2032 I'm not asking about the Congo, I'm asking why the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) specifically singles out gay men.
@@tulasipriya You should be asking about the Congo as that's where the new clade 1b is rampant and that's what the WHO have declared a global health emergency. The new variant is both more infectious and causes more severe disease than the clade 2 variant that came out of Africa in the global outbreak of 2022. The ACIP is part of the CDC which coordinates healthcare response across the USA. So the vaccinations they recommend are based on the previous clade 2 outbreak from 2022 which disproportionately affected gay men in the USA. That 2022 outbreak has been successfully contained by healthcare measures and effective vaccination in the at risk groups. The new clade 1 Mpox is spread more widely across the general population in parts of Africa and, being more infectious, is spreading in families and crowded communites, e.g. In refugee camps. It has affected children the worst, again unlike the clade 2 variant. This is not sexual spread but community transmission, so of greater concern as harder to control. There is also sexual spread of clade 1, mainly through female sex workers who make up quite a large proportion of hospital cases currently. That would be heterosexual spread as gay men don’t generally pay for sex with women. Gay men have no particular profile or risk, so far, from the evidence of what is happening in Africa. Luckily there have been no clade 1 infections yet in the USA so no need for too much concern. If it does come to the USA and start affecting a subset of MSM through sexual or close contact transmission, then they would be targeted for information/ vaccines. Does that help? I know what you want to hear is that this is a gay STI but the evidence is clear that this virus is not affecting “only men who have sex with men”. You know that perfectly well, so stop with the faux questioning and just come out straight with your bigotry.
Thanks for the info. I think my health risks increased from reading the comments though ... I don't get the declaration of conspiracy after 1 case outside of Africa... SMH
Because it’s an election year in America and nothing happened until all of a sudden the establishment candidate is down in the polls. Also the name change from the now-widely recognized “monkeypox” to “mpox” is an act that suggests something is up. Probably that if people knew it was monkeypox the establishment powers couldn’t get the same legitimacy for more draconian policies to keep themselves and their worldview in power.

Maybe some people should stop having s.. with everything and everything in sight. As book smart as some doctors are they oft lack common sense/what some refer to as street smart. And don’t Americans solve the issues in their own country first before constantly sending millions and billions overseas
Very informative, thank you. Seems a bit coincidental that although it was the Clade 2 variety that arose a couple of years ago through homosexual activity, now the Clade 1 strain is rising? Unfortunately, with the example of recent decades, from that requested funding of $4B (or anything remotely like it) it’s likely a healthy % of it would find its way out of Africa and into bank a/c’s in Switzerland, Cayman, Channel Islands and other tax havens…
Also, the objection to the wording “homosexual activity” is that it is inaccurate and misleading. A monogamous homosexual couple has really no more risk of contracting Mpox than a monogamous heterosexual couple. If you consider say chlamydia, which is a true STD with high rates of transmission among young heterosexuals, nobody would characterise it as spreading through “heterosexual activity”. It is spread sexually and a lot of young heterosexuals have been unfortunate to catch it, yes, through their sexual behaviour. The trouble is that calling it “heterosexual activity” or “ homosexual activity” is too blanket. It's a small subset of gay men engaging in risky sexual activity who caught the clade 2 variant in the 2022 outbreak, not homosexuals per se, still less “homosexual activity”. The wording then conveys a blanket disapproval of such activity regardless of context. Also the word “spread” is stigmatising. When a heterosexual catches a STD they are seen as an unfortunate 'sufferer', when a gay man catches the same disease they are described as a guilty ‘spreader’. It is infuriating and exhausting to have to keep pointing this out.
😂 yes the smallpox vaccine that’s been around for a VERY LONG TIME and newer mpox vaccines are all part of the global plan because it just doesn’t make sense why anyone in the medical or science community wants to save lives and reduce suffering? 😂
Thank you for this info! I am traveling to Africa next month and it is to one of the countries you mentioned. I did get the vaccine (old school one) but that was in 2012 for a deployment to Afghanistan. Please keep us updated. Thank you for this video.
2 questions: What restrictions and testing methods are in place in DR Congo and West African countries to prevent infected travelers and migrants from boarding international flights? Are people who got the smallpox vaccine way back in the 1950s protected against Mpox?
The incubation period is too variable to be blood testing every exiting traveler who has a fever though if you really wanted to contain this thing that’d be a decent place to start. Generally though it seems like from the data he sighted if folks would focus on vetting the health of their sexual partners we’d be a lot better off. Maybe the major religions had a good idea in that we ought not just be porking everyone all Willy Nilly
I’m not sure about your first question, but there is evidence at least anecdotally that remote vaccination against smallpox was effective in the past of protecting people from symptoms of mpox.
In the 60s and 70s we had vaxes for small pox, polio, measles, mumps, Tetanus and who knows what. They were tested extensively. I took more when going overseas. I may get the shingles shot. Other than that, I think I've had enough.
I beg to differ but none of the childhood vaccines were ever tested for safety! Those words came from the famous or infamous guru doctor of vaccines, dr. Plotkin. You can see for yourself at the HighWire!
Is small pox a regular child’s vaccination these days? Don’t remember my kids getting these in the ‘80’s. I was born in the 1950’s and children got small pox vaccinations in the 1960’s. I have the scar on my arm to this day. I don’t think my grandkids get that vaccine.
@@Medcram Are those categories likely to change given that this Clade 1b is more infectious/severe? I assume they are based on the 2022 outbreak criteria unless they've been recently updated. Given that 52% of the 371 hospitalised cases in the Congo study were women, I take it by “risky behaviors” you are not referring specifically or exclusively to MSM behavior?
At about 15:40, the doc discusses a report showing who is recommended to get the vaccine, and under the "For people 18 and older with the following risks" there's a bullet point about "sex in association with a large public event." What does that mean? (Thank you to anyone who chooses to respond and share your knowledge; and thanks in advance for respecting that I'm asking a question to try to understand, and don't support bashing any group for how they choose to live their life.)
2 years ago that outbreak was associated with gay /bi men at festivals where there is a tendency for multi partner sex .Spreads like wildfire and then they may carry on the behaviour (multi partners) when not at the place of infection ..Hope that helps .The behaviour is a risk for clade 1b also .

Number 1 ..Don't panic...!!
We all know that Clade 1b is the gain of function version, and we all know that the criminals behind this sort of research should be behind bars.
That’s pretty subtle satire. I hope others don’t take it seriously after all the screwball Wuhan lab leak theory controversy.
No, we don't all know that becuase serious viruses existed before we had gain of function research. Also, as controversial as this research is, I'm not sure how you can plan ahead for pandemics without being able to predict future generations of viruses. And that's what gain of function research is for. They're trying to develop vaccines and treatments *before* we're actually infected with the stuff.
Funny thing is that someone I know told me several weeks ago that MPox was being amped up with gain of function and the plan was to release it in Africa so it can move out around the globe by people using air travel. Once they’ve got in into different countries they will then stage another lockdown. He wont tell me how he knew this, but given his track record for being right all the time about whats coming down the pike at us, I would be ready for a lockdown and be wary of any subsequent vaccines.
@@realhumanist71 Exactly! We don't know that Clade 1b is a leaked gain of function version or that there is even such a version. As a retired microbiologist it was basic to research to select for bacteria and viruses with new functions (e.g carbon monoxide metabolism) or loss of functions to better understand the organisms for useful commercial applications. For 50 years this research is not controversial except in some cases involving human pathogens where regulations are usually and rightfully imposed to protect public safety. No criminal intent nor behavior involved. Of course when anti-science politicians with a political agenda get into the act political controversy, independent of facts, gets created. To give a sense for the normalcy of all this there was an announcement for recent NIH symposium for scientists which . "Routine virological methods involve experiments that aim to produce a gain of a desired function, such as higher yields for vaccine strains, but often also lead to loss of function, such as loss of the ability for a virus to replicate well, as a consequence. In other words, any selection process involving an alteration of genotypes and their resulting phenotypes is considered a type of Gain-of-Function (GoF) research, even if the U.S. policy is intended to apply to only a small subset of such work. Such experiments in virology are fundamental to understanding the biology, ecology, and pathogenesis of viruses and added that much basic knowledge is still lacking for [Influenza,] SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV"
Close our borders!!!
Close Africa's boarders
What this means to the current administration and many other world governments is that they intend to open the borders wider.. 🙄. Remember the last pandemic? When they gave people two weeks of more travel before shutting things down.

Excellent presentation. It was clear to the total layman such as myself. 😊

According to renowned internist Dr. Peter McCullough “the average American should not have any concerns over this illness.”
Dr. McCullough pointed out that 96% of the monkeypox cases in the recent outbreak occurred in the Congo, “one of the poorest countries in the world.” “Clade 1 of the virus, the current strain is being spread by sex workers and largely gay/bisexual males with intensive sexual contact,” said Dr. McCullough, confirming the WHO’s admission that the new virus strain, “clade 1b,” is spreading primarily through sexual contact.
I have been practicing self segregation for a few years now and it has worked out very well for Me. Avoid other people as much as possible and also boycott the economy as much as possible. Buy only food and basic supplies. There will be shortages.
Thank for your work
Thank you for always providing high quality information. Much appreciated!
Thank you for taking the lead and keeping us informed! In your next video I hope you’ll discuss the mechanism by which the virus enters the body, as well as effective measures for preventing entry.

Informative? Really? According to renowned internist Dr. Peter McCullough “the average American should not have any concerns over this illness.” Dr. McCullough pointed out that 96% of the monkeypox cases in the recent outbreak occurred in the Congo, “one of the poorest countries in the world.” “Clade 1 of the virus, the current strain is being spread by sex workers and largely gay/bisexual males with intensive sexual contact,” said Dr. McCullough, confirming the WHO’s admission that the new virus strain, “clade 1b,” is spreading primarily through sexual contact.
@@jackdbenisi7084 What is the evidence that the *current* strain is being spread “largely by gay/bisexual males with intensive sexual contact”. Nothing in the data or studies would suggest that. The Congo hospital study shows that 52% of cases are women, unlikely to have been infected by gay/bisexual males. No data on the sexual orientation of those infected in the Congo is available, but all the evidence points to transmission in the general population. Not a single gay/ bisexual male outside of the Congo outbreak has been infected by this new clade 1b variant. How do you figure then that it is largely spreading through that sector? That makes no sense.
It's no accident that since biotech has developed so fast, new deadly pandemics appear one after another...
There were plenty of pandemics in the 50s and 60s well before biotech
@@Medcram Not at this rate. Not geneticaly modified viruses as It has been proved with COVID. It's so Unique nobody has been able to track It to any animal with precision. It's an artificialy Made virus.
I'm in Sweden. Our health ministry did a press brief yesterday. We do indeed have 1 case so far. Thanks for the video.
There’ll be more in other countries too. Sweden has the infrastructure to test.
What is the demographics of this one person?
@@Medcram Thanks. Yes we probably do. It's good to know that they're on it fast to stop it from spreading.
@@bryanutility9609 They didn't say. They wouldn't give out info like that publicly. They just said that the person is being treated. 🙂
Its been in the Congo for many years- nothing new!
Good summary with some ideas for limiting exposure. Thank you for that.
No ifs, no buts, travel from the affected African countries and the rest of us should be stopped now.
Thats ridiculous
Very informative
Wouldn't it make sense to have many strains, if one strain "evolved" in 2 years into another strain? And it is strange that in such a short period of time it acquired contagiousness and mortality.
The clade that is more contagious will take over because it is more contagious. It can spread exponentially.
Good info, hope this helps prevent hysteria and panic. Seems nothing to be concerned about for most people right now, but watch how it develops.
Yes, and more importantly, we need to get a coordinated effort for resources so that this can be contained. It also involves getting the word out that risky behavior needs to be curtailed.
You just flunked the post lecture quiz. Now, your on academic probation. Fail again and you're out.
That’s why the schools were i live are pushing for kids to get vaccinated this year. Like if you don’t get all your vaccines you can’t start on time you can get an exemption form but it only for two weeks. The elementary and middle and high school are also holding a vaccine drive so this makes sense.
Seems like a non issue the virus has existed for a long time endemically in Africa so why is now any different
and that's what they did with sars-cov2...
Thank you somuch for sharing these vital informations we must all be vigilant both young n old people 😅😅😅😅
Thank you for communicating your knowledge! God bless you.
My pleasure!
Great review. Please keep us updated.
Thank you for your help and service.
Much love and respect to all of Medcram.

How does the mpox infection actually occur? Also, why aren't women considered "at risk," as indicated by the ACIP (@14:50)? Or straight people? Why is it only men who have sex with men? The other risk factors listed may be just as applicable for them, so that's what raised the question for me as to exactly how the infection occurs.
It isn’t just gay men at risk. 52% of pateients in the Congo hospital study were women. The vast majority of cases in this outbreak are among heterosexual people.
@@veraluxmundi2032 I'm not asking about the Congo, I'm asking why the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) specifically singles out gay men.
@@tulasipriya You should be asking about the Congo as that's where the new clade 1b is rampant and that's what the WHO have declared a global health emergency. The new variant is both more infectious and causes more severe disease than the clade 2 variant that came out of Africa in the global outbreak of 2022. The ACIP is part of the CDC which coordinates healthcare response across the USA. So the vaccinations they recommend are based on the previous clade 2 outbreak from 2022 which disproportionately affected gay men in the USA. That 2022 outbreak has been successfully contained by healthcare measures and effective vaccination in the at risk groups. The new clade 1 Mpox is spread more widely across the general population in parts of Africa and, being more infectious, is spreading in families and crowded communites, e.g. In refugee camps. It has affected children the worst, again unlike the clade 2 variant. This is not sexual spread but community transmission, so of greater concern as harder to control. There is also sexual spread of clade 1, mainly through female sex workers who make up quite a large proportion of hospital cases currently. That would be heterosexual spread as gay men don’t generally pay for sex with women. Gay men have no particular profile or risk, so far, from the evidence of what is happening in Africa. Luckily there have been no clade 1 infections yet in the USA so no need for too much concern. If it does come to the USA and start affecting a subset of MSM through sexual or close contact transmission, then they would be targeted for information/ vaccines.
Does that help? I know what you want to hear is that this is a gay STI but the evidence is clear that this virus is not affecting “only men who have sex with men”. You know that perfectly well, so stop with the faux questioning and just come out straight with your bigotry.
Thanks for the info. I think my health risks increased from reading the comments though ... I don't get the declaration of conspiracy after 1 case outside of Africa... SMH
It sure doesn't take long! I wish conspiracists would stick with non-dangerous topics like aliens and flat earth.
Because it’s an election year in America and nothing happened until all of a sudden the establishment candidate is down in the polls.
Also the name change from the now-widely recognized “monkeypox” to “mpox” is an act that suggests something is up. Probably that if people knew it was monkeypox the establishment powers couldn’t get the same legitimacy for more draconian policies to keep themselves and their worldview in power.
Thank you. I depend on you for your accurate reporting

Thanks.
Thank you
Very informative, thank you.
Seems a bit coincidental that although it was the Clade 2 variety that arose a couple of years ago through homosexual activity, now the Clade 1 strain is rising?
Unfortunately, with the example of recent decades, from that requested funding of $4B (or anything remotely like it) it’s likely a healthy % of it would find its way out of Africa and into bank a/c’s in Switzerland, Cayman, Channel Islands and other tax havens…
Yes.
Also, the objection to the wording “homosexual activity” is that it is inaccurate and misleading. A monogamous homosexual couple has really no more risk of contracting Mpox than a monogamous heterosexual couple. If you consider say chlamydia, which is a true STD with high rates of transmission among young heterosexuals, nobody would characterise it as spreading through “heterosexual activity”. It is spread sexually and a lot of young heterosexuals have been unfortunate to catch it, yes, through their sexual behaviour. The trouble is that calling it “heterosexual activity” or “ homosexual activity” is too blanket. It's a small subset of gay men engaging in risky sexual activity who caught the clade 2 variant in the 2022 outbreak, not homosexuals per se, still less “homosexual activity”. The wording then conveys a blanket disapproval of such activity regardless of context. Also the word “spread” is stigmatising. When a heterosexual catches a STD they are seen as an unfortunate 'sufferer', when a gay man catches the same disease they are described as a guilty ‘spreader’. It is infuriating and exhausting to have to keep pointing this out.
We are. In the. End of days Jesus is coming very soon❤❤❤❤
4h contact with droplets could happen on trains, ships and airplanes then.

Nice job
Thank you.
Excellent
Stop having sex with anybody you meet !! that would help ,, but that is not going to happen in this lustful world !
That was the first one, the new one that is spreading right now can infect people just by touching.
How convenient they already have a jab for this.
Maybe you should go back to the 17th century.
😂 yes the smallpox vaccine that’s been around for a VERY LONG TIME and newer mpox vaccines are all part of the global plan because it just doesn’t make sense why anyone in the medical or science community wants to save lives and reduce suffering? 😂
The "jab" is for smallpox, because mpox is closely related, it works just not as well
Probably has mRNA in it
More convenient that it comes to prominence on the eve of the US election. So predictable.
Good video helped alot to protect myself thank you a lot
Thank you for this info! I am traveling to Africa next month and it is to one of the countries you mentioned. I did get the vaccine (old school one) but that was in 2012 for a deployment to Afghanistan. Please keep us updated. Thank you for this video.
We plan on it. Thank you.
As usual great info without the hype.
Always!
I feel there are many unanswered questions!
2 questions:
What restrictions and testing methods are in place in DR Congo and West African countries to prevent infected travelers and migrants from boarding international flights?
Are people who got the smallpox vaccine way back in the 1950s protected against Mpox?
The incubation period is too variable to be blood testing every exiting traveler who has a fever though if you really wanted to contain this thing that’d be a decent place to start. Generally though it seems like from the data he sighted if folks would focus on vetting the health of their sexual partners we’d be a lot better off. Maybe the major religions had a good idea in that we ought not just be porking everyone all Willy Nilly
I’m not sure about your first question, but there is evidence at least anecdotally that remote vaccination against smallpox was effective in the past of protecting people from symptoms of mpox.
In answer to your first question, probably none. Keeping in mind that nothing is an accident, Ive got a feeling were in for a bumpy ride.
In the 60s and 70s we had vaxes for small pox, polio, measles, mumps, Tetanus and who knows what. They were tested extensively. I took more when going overseas. I may get the shingles shot. Other than that, I think I've had enough.
You've had enough of being protected from disabling and deadly diseases. Right. It's tough being vaccine-privileged.
New virus epidemics are going to require new vaccines.And some you need boosted. You need to get a new tetanus shot every 10 years.
I beg to differ but none of the childhood vaccines were ever tested for safety! Those words came from the famous or infamous guru doctor of vaccines, dr. Plotkin. You can see for yourself at the HighWire!
Are you sure you're a real doctor? A medical doctor? Because not one real medical doctor I know would dare to make the statements you do.
Thanks, I think.
Is small pox a regular child’s vaccination these days? Don’t remember my kids getting these in the ‘80’s. I was born in the 1950’s and children got small pox vaccinations in the 1960’s. I have the scar on my arm to this day. I don’t think my grandkids get that vaccine.
In my country the smallpox vaccinations stopped in the 1970's. It was probably the same worldwide.
Not anymore
The smallpox vaccine was instrumental in eradicating that terrible disease.
Thank for the video
Not taking any BS clot shots ...Il take my risk ..
Sounds good. They’re not recommending it unless you fit specific categories.
@@Medcram Are those categories likely to change given that this Clade 1b is more infectious/severe? I assume they are based on the 2022 outbreak criteria unless they've been recently updated. Given that 52% of the 371 hospitalised cases in the Congo study were women, I take it by “risky behaviors” you are not referring specifically or exclusively to MSM behavior?
No one GONNA talk about two pandemics coming at same Time the disease x and mbox?
@medcram So are there any new studies about how the mpox virus manages to avoid T-cell response? Does that only happen in-vitro? Thanks!
Time to keep your junk in your truck
Informative.
Thanks Doc, how about international travel? Airplane seats, hotel rooms, airports?
Time for you to bubble wrap yourself.
Don't lick the guy beside you, you will be safe
At about 15:40, the doc discusses a report showing who is recommended to get the vaccine, and under the "For people 18 and older with the following risks" there's a bullet point about "sex in association with a large public event." What does that mean? (Thank you to anyone who chooses to respond and share your knowledge; and thanks in advance for respecting that I'm asking a question to try to understand, and don't support bashing any group for how they choose to live their life.)
Raves, things like Burning Man, sporting events perhaps? Places where increased contact and lowered inhibitions promote fiskh bdhavior?
Argh. Risky behavior.
I answered but YT removed it. Sorry, I'd like to help but YT won't let me.
Fiskh bdhavior? What's that? Asking for a friend.
2 years ago that outbreak was associated with gay /bi men at festivals where there is a tendency for multi partner sex .Spreads like wildfire and then they may carry on the behaviour (multi partners) when not at the place of infection ..Hope that helps .The behaviour is a risk for clade 1b also .
We have i think 3 cases or more in Pakistan 😢
Thank you doctor.
Most welcome!
Amazing

An excellent presentation that is to the point.
How can most of those who were in the Congo statistics be both children and have had transactional sex?
The ones in the hospital had the transactional sex.
The overall statistics from the region are the ones that include many children
I prefer Monkeypox than Mpox. Why chickenpox and not Cpox?
Monkeys have more rights than chickens?
It was seen as racist language. Rodents, not monkeys, are the main source of Mpox.
