More than 200 people in U.S. being monitored for possible monkeypox exposure, CDC says
STAT ^ | 7-20-21 | Helen Branswell

More than 200 people in 27 states are being monitored for possible exposure to monkeypox after they had contact with an individual who contracted the disease in Nigeria before traveling to the United States this month, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. To date, no additional cases have been detected.

State and local health authorities are working with the CDC to identify and assess the individuals, and follow up with them daily until late this month, said Andrea McCollum, who leads the poxvirus epidemiology unit at the agency’s National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases.

“It is a lot of people,” McCollum acknowledged.

The efforts stem from the discovery that a U.S. resident infected with monkeypox traveled from Lagos, Nigeria, on an overnight flight to Atlanta that arrived on July 9; the person then traveled the same day to Dallas. On July 15, the individual sought care at a Dallas hospital emergency room, where the diagnosis of monkeypox was made.

Better than Ebola, I reckon.

Because Americans started to refuse the Covid vaccine, they have to give us something else and demand we have THAT vaccine.

Which will all be the same “vaccine”, since it really isn’t a vaccine anyway.

The smallpox vaccine is believed to prevent infection.(wikipedia)

So most of us should be covered. This person who went to Nigeria never had a small pox vaccine?

I believe it will literally be the Covid vaccine. It's biowarfare and they want us to have it, one way or another.

I’ve read small pox protection may wane after decades. More importantly, the vaccine is no longer given to the young, who would have no protection.

However, I believe the ‘vaccine’ the Deep Staters will offer for small pox or monkey pox will be the Covid vaccine.

You’re right it does say up to 10%. I did not notice while scanning info. In fact the narrative seemed never to mention death.

That should be your marker mask if you HAVE the monkeypox.

No, in early ‘70s they stopped bothering.

So those of us 50 and younger basically did not get any of the famous circular pattern. Meanwhile my husband did, just a few years older.

Yes. Though technically Ebola isn’t that contagious….unless one gets barf particles on oneself.

I must have just barely made it in. I was in elementary school in the 70s and have the circle scar still.

Yeah, I didn’t realize they quit giving it back in the 70s but another freeper just informed me. I must have just made it in.

With the invasion from the South of people from all over the world, Big Med will have a field day with their new mRNA tech for all the “everything old is new” diseases coming here.

Hubby thinks he got it at 4, so that should’ve been about ‘70.

I was just 1 at that point. Guess had to be a certain age for it, because I never got it. But I ogled my mom’s circle of spots forever. And hubby’s mom also had the circle.

We’re about the same age then. I was born in 65. I remember getting it in school so that would have been at least 5-6 years old so 71, 72 ish.
