Is there a vaccine for Mono?
Interesting. Have 2 friends with MS.
MS is a terrible disease reserved only for the worst in the world.
Too bad so many good people get it.
I’ve had mono twice as a kid, 5 and 12. So far, no MS.
This is not a new thesis. Multiple Sclerosis is thought by many to be an autoimmune disease. That is to say the individual’s own immune system after some stimulus begins to react against their own tissue, erode it and cause disease. It is speculation with no documented experimental proofs to date. The theory is that an individual with the right predisposing genotype when exposed to a virus or bacteria, develop a destructive auto-immune response. Actually rheumatic fever, which destroys heart tissue is thought to be a autoimmune response to some strains of streptococcus. Many physicians believe that juvenile diabetes is an auto immune disease. A virus, with little or no symptoms, goes through a school or community, almost all get well but six to eight weeks later a genetically susceptible previously healthy child presents with diabetes.
As we now see with the COVID-19 pandemic, the future of Medicine will be centered on understanding genetics and the complexity of immunology.
This sounds like another herpes virus.
Mononucleosis is a herpes virus called Epstein-Barr. If it reappears years later as multiple sclerosis then it is behaving like another herpes virus that uses a 2 part attack that responsible for chicken pox and later shingles, varicella-zoster.
Watch for reports of sudden onset of MS in covid vaxxinated people….
Anecdotally being reported

Hey, if mononucleosis isn’t a global pandemic and existential crisis, I did a lot of kissing for nothing.
I read a study where they did a fecal transplant into 3 MS patients. All three got better and were restored in their ability to walk again. No profit for drug companies, of course, and the FDA won’t allow fecal transplants for MS.
Ivermectin?
