Sen #RonWyden accused #RFKJr of being hypocritical, saying he is fond of saying he’s not making “recommendations” about whether parents should #vaccinate their #children, but “just asking questions” & giving people choices.

“It’s a slippery tactic to dodge any real responsibility for his words & actions, & it’s absurd coming from somebody who’s trying to win confirmation for a job that is entirely about making recommendations,” Wyden said in his opening statement.

Nicht nur Schwäche in der #Abwehr auch in der #Immunabwehr

Angenommen, die hätten wirklich Influenza: So Situationen gab es sonst nie, aber seit die Seuche kam, haben diese Leute so ein schwaches Immunsystem, dass sie sich, obwohl jung, fit u bestens mit Nährstoffen versorgt, alle mit influenza Infizieren u es ihnen dreckig geht.

Studien zeigen: Covid Infektionen schwächen das Immunsystem, Antikörper von Impfung u Infektion bleiben nur Monate

"It's clear that a coordinated #international response is essential to stop these outbreaks & save lives," said #WHO Dir-Gen Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

Earlier this week, #Africa's top #PublicHealth body. declared an #mpox emergency for #Africa after warning that the viral infection was spreading at an alarming rate.

Determining a disease #outbreak as a "#PublicHealth emergency of international concern" or #PHEIC - the WHO's highest level of #alert — can accelerate #research, #funding & #international public health measures & co-operation to contain a #disease.

The outbreak in #Congo began w/the spread of an #endemic strain, known as #cladeI. But a new variant, #cladeIb, appears to spread more easily through routine close contact, including sexual contact.

The #WorldHealthOrganization on Wed declared #mpox a #GlobalPublicHealth #emergency for the second time in 2 years, following an outbreak of the viral infection in the Democratic Republic of #Congo that has spread to neighbouring countries.

Mpox can spread through close contact. Usually mild, it is fatal in rare cases. It causes flu-like symptoms & pus-filled lesions on the body.

"Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is a devastating complication of the measles virus.

Although it is a rare complication and the measles virus is preventable with vaccination, healthcare systems may see more cases given the re-emergence of measles in many countries in the last few years."

Yes, the #NIH actually uses the medical term "devastating" to describe #SSPE.
