You signed up for your series of Monkeypox vaccinations, yet?

 

 

Unless you missed out on your smallpox vaccination many years ago, you might need one.....he said in jest.  You sure dislike vaccinations it seems.  People get vaccinated for many virus's and illnesses, amongst them are annual flu , and pneumococcal vaccinations plus a few others that are needed every 5 or 10 years.  Children get vaccinated for polio, measles, mumps, rubella, smallpox, Hepatitis, chicken pox etc.....unless there families are antivaxxers.

  • Well, shame on WHO. Because most cases of monkeypox are mild and clear up without treatment. Unless I've missed an update over the past few days? But if the above is true, medical experts have a duty

  • Thank you for setting me straight. I should probably read here more often for medical updates. Righto then, I shall join the afriad and try not to listen to the so-called "experts" who spout things

  • Shhhh... We don't wanna bring any such reality scenarios to the table.  Best that ya go along with the dominant narrative, as we have another manufactured scare mongering tactic at hand with

What the media are too scared to tell you all is it's a gay/bi community issue and trying to scare the big Jesus out of everyone.

Problem is it is not just spreading in those communities.  It is spreading from those and out into general society.  Now seeing case become widespread, but not in great numbers, in the US, and in Europe.  Europe just had a death they say was caused by encephalitis which monkeypox cause.  It is something to be wary of, but not as transmissible as virus's.

Smallwood emphasized that the goal needs to be "interrupting transmission quickly in Europe and stopping this outbreak".

However, Smallwood stressed that in most cases the disease heals itself without the need for treatment.

"The notification of deaths due to monkeypox does not change our assessment of the outbreak in Europe. We know that although self-limiting in most cases, monkeypox can cause severe complications," Smallwood noted.

I thought they used smallpox vaccines.

Definitely not many available if Thailand has a small stockpile. 

"DMS says 4 decades old smallpox vaccine in storage still effective against monkeypox"

 
Many older people have already been vaccinated  In the US it was mandatory to attend school and smallpox vaccination were used until 1972.

Thanks for the simplistic explanation. You missed "tetanus" which is probably the most important vaccine that you or your children should get. You're welcome.

Perhaps you missed the "etc" in his post as a lead that more were also included.

My post implied it as well with the "plus a few others that are needed every 5 or 10 years" clause, but then you choose to nitpick and make false statements about what's posted. 

or this one

"Children get vaccinated for polio, measles, mumps, rubella, smallpox, Hepatitis, chicken pox etc..."
