And there was no vaccine ready the moment it was announced?
The latest thing that is going to kill us all...
Do I hear a little boy calling “wolf”?
Not a word about how the damn thing spreads.
Oh my, Candida!.....................
Women and minorities most affected?
So, what are the symptoms?
Paging Tony Orlando...
Woh-oh, Candida, we could make it together
The further from here, girl, the better
Where the air is fresh and clean
Hmm-hmm, Candida, just take my hand and I’ll lead ya
I promise life will be sweeter, and it says so in my dreams
Sigh…I guess we’ll have to mail in our votes again this year.
Everything is for the best in this best of all possible worlds.
All the scare tactic language in this “piece”:
“silent but deadly adversary
rare and drug-resistant fungal infection
chilling 60% fatality rate
sending shockwaves through the healthcare community
this emerging nightmare
urgency of this situation”
I guess I’ll just shoot myself now and get it over with. SMH
MASK UP!

(And they just HAD to throw in “climate change” towards the end!) 😜
Systemic fungal infections in general are opportunistic and only occur in severely immunocompromised, critically ill patients. Think end stage cancer, etc. Patients that have a high mortality rate regardless of the Candida infection. It’s astounding that the article doesn’t even mention this fact. Fear mongering at its best.
“Ah me, the pox!”
It’s a fungus, and you catch it mostly in hospitals and nursing homes.

“Risk Factors
C. auris mostly affects patients with severe underlying medical conditions and requiring complex medical care. Patients with invasive medical devices like breathing tubes, feeding tubes, catheters in a vein, or urinary catheters tend to be at increased risk for getting C. auris and developing an infection.”
Healthy people without these risk factors, including healthcare workers and family members, have a low risk for getting infected with C. auris.

Are there vaccines for this type of pathogen?
