Clarendon Update 2: An ambulance responding for another "sick person" in Clarendon. This one at Bar Bao. What's causing this epidemic? Covid? Monkeypox? Measles? I'm sure whatever it is, it's impossible to prevent and we're making the best use of our limited EMS resource. (more)

Environmental surveillance as a sentinel for emerging outbreaks: Lessons from mpox in Africa
The resurgence of zoonotic diseases underscores the need for smarter early warning systems. Mpox’s rapid spread in Africa exposed persistent surveillance gaps and delays in outbreak detection. Environmental surveillance (both static and mobile) offers a population-wide sentinel for early pathogen...

8/ We've also had 3 severe cases of the Clade 1 strain of Monkeypox appear in California. These cases suggest community spread (not linked to travel to Africa), something the U.S. has never seen before. All patients are adults and recovering. Your risk remains extremely low.

You're probably okay vs monkey pox because you have the smallpox scar, but I would get the monkeypox vax as well because I treat them like Pokémon: wanna get 'em all.
(My sire was antivax before it was cool and I had to get all my shots as an adult.)

2/ Mpox used to be called Monkeypox
Globally, that term was dropped a few years ago — it’s inaccurate & stigmatizing.
(Recently, CDC decided to bring it back because, well, this admin hates people.)
CDC has solid info on Mpox but we won’t be linking to them as they insist on using the wrong term

Efficacy of modified-vaccinia Ankara vaccine as pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis against monkeypox sexual transmission in non-human primate model - Nature Communications
In 2022, mpox predominantly spread through sexual contact, necessitating updated prevention strategies. Here, the authors show that rectal challenge in male cynomolgus macaques with a 2022 clade IIb MPXV isolate mimics sexual transmission, and that vaccination with modified-vaccinia Ankara protects pre- but not post-exposure.

Every once in a while I remember that gay men stopped monkeypox during Covid by getting vaxxed. No one even knows we did that. As a side benefit, when smallpox comes back, we’ll be good.
Not sure why I’m rewatching “And The Band Played On” when I’m already pissed off at both parties allowing this destruction. The CDC decimation only means further public health outbreaks of shit we’ll be unprepared For. Y’all have heard of AIDS and Reagan, right? From movie:

The CDC website reverting mpox to the inaccurate & racist “monkeypox” is analogous to reverting HIV to “gay-related immune deficiency” (GRID). How far the once premier public health agency has fallen under RFK Jr. and minions.

And the CDC has officially decided to switch back from Mpox to Monkeypox. A reminder, the world still uses Mpox, this disease does not come from monkeys, Mpox is less stigmatizing and racist. Switching back is just meaningless, unnecessary, racist, and homophobic.

The HHS Secretary under Biden was Xavier Becerra, who used his position to do fuck all. Couldn't even do the fake-ass rescheduling of mj that Biden defenders kept saying he really wanted to do deep down.
![Becerra has been criticized as health and human services secretary for being absent in the public eye during the pandemic, for confusing messaging by federal public health authorities and for the subsequent loss of public trust, and for his collaborative management style while serving as secretary; his defenders said he was given an unclear role as secretary.[132] Becerra was similarly criticized following his agency's response to the 2022 monkeypox outbreak amid issues with health policy communication and what was widely considered a slow response; White House officials said that Becerra sought to scapegoat the states rather than take responsibility for the subpar response.[133]
On October 6, 2022, Becerra was tasked by President Biden with expeditiously reviewing the Schedule I classification of cannabis.[134]
In 2023, Becerra rejected cancer patients’ petition to use a law which allows HHS regulators to rescind exclusive patent protections for government-developed drugs making them more available to the generic market.[135]
In 2023, The New York Times published investigations regarding immigrant child laborers who were working in violation of child labor laws across the U.S. According to the Times' reports, "Again and again, veteran government staffers and outside contractors told the Health and Human Services Department, including in reports that reached Secretary Xavier Becerra, that children appeared to be at risk".](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4dtviabvyvhhbw3ct4sdyptd/bafkreihttoygwwxjdn42nn2s4exrmfv5jfd46hgly7xra6xttle2f53eme@jpeg)
