In the same article, they call out the need to get vaccinated so i'm guessing the answer is no.
Yup, waiting for one SIL to pop, she is taking zero precautions. I need this wave to hurry TF up though, I’m missing you on these Gainz
The last theory I saw was that the vaccine was being accidentally administered into a vein (instead of muscle), some of the mRNA got to the heart as a result, triggered the production of spike proteins in the cells of the heart wall, then immune cells attack those cells (like they're supposed to) resulting in a bit of myocarditis and pericarditis.
I haven't paid any attention to this stuff in a while. Is there a new polio vax? I've been vaxx'd against polio since forever. Do I need to get a polio booster and monkey pox vax, or just a polio booster, or just a monkey pox?Polio + MPox
Sorry, I have no clue, was a yolk.I haven't paid any attention to this stuff in a while. Is there a new polio vax? I've been vaxx'd against polio since forever. Do I need to get a polio booster and monkey pox vax, or just a polio booster, or just a monkey pox?
Also the last vax I got (moderna) was in February.
Would love to get one of everything, mix it all together and blast that in with a heavy gauge needle. If I live I'd be fucking impervious to everything except the common cold.
edit: also what is the plan for flu season?
Nurse at the VA hospital has been pestering me for my shot records. I mean I get it - who wouldn't want to swap fluids with me.
The polio vax is protective against monkeypox the old school one which you probably got and the one we stockpiled apparently can have some nasty side effects and is not good for immunocompromised since it uses a live virus so deploying it at the population level might be an issue. The new one that we don’t have enough of yet does not use a live virus iirc.I haven't paid any attention to this stuff in a while. Is there a new polio vax?

any news on the plan for next flu season?The polio vax is protective against monkeypox the old school one which you probably got and the one we stockpiled apparently has some nasty side effects and is not good for immunocompromised since it uses a live virus so deploying it at the population level might be an issue.

Adults at risk of getting Polio are eligible to get a lifelong booster dose after 10 years of the primary series but not sure how that translates to the current monkepox situation
In terms of the Flu shot? Probably same as every year, take the best guess at which strains will be circulating and formulate for that.
Thought I had heard they might combine covid booster w/flu shot at one time, but that could very well just have been an ambien dream.
They did but I’m not sure how far along that came, especially now that they are reformulating to a BA.5 booster and won’t be ready until October.Thought I had heard they might combine covid booster w/flu shot at one time, but that could very well just have been an ambien dream.

A bacterium that causes a rare but dangerous disease called melioidosis is likely endemic in parts of the southern United States, along the Gulf Coast, the CDC announced.
Disease detectives investigating a pair of medical mysteries in Mississippi have come to an unwelcome conclusion. The bacterium that causes a rare but dangerous disease called melioidosis is likely endemic in parts of the southern United States, along the Gulf Coast.
Melioidosis is generally considered a disease of the tropics. It can infect both people and a range of animals, including sheep and cows. Though infections are rare, it is dangerous enough to be seen as a potential bioterrorism weapon; it is classed as a Tier 1 select agent, the same class to which threats like Ebola and anthrax belong.
That's just what we need. Not just bacteria, but irradiated mutant bacteria!!!!
