Closing with plea to recognize the importance of federal/state public health agencies, the dangers of attacking expertise and listening to quacks/charlatans 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
agreed. The U.S. created a public health system & it is organized. What happened during covid? A lack of consistent education on the limits of masks & vax. Why not teach generalized virus prevention? I went whacko & had about 350 peer reviewed papers pulled on UV C light usage.
why? My neighbor has used UVC light to clean a large university swimming pool. There was no room to expand a chlorination system without losing other valuable buildings. So he used UV C light to filter out bacteria & virus. He mentions this to me & I started posting to NIH, CDC.
some of the research I posted was seen by others & I know of 2 entrepreneurs who are doing interventions. I believe we must insist our large animal "factories" begin letting the poultry, cows, hogs, whatever...outside for sun & disinfect inside facility with UV-C light & bleach?
This case initially thought to be part of national queso fresco outbreak; whole genome sequencing showed not the case. Was actually linked to a Facebook purchase site where imported raw cheese was sold/delivered to Minneapolis (illegally)
Next case: diarrheal illness followed by guillain barre (spelling?)- Campylobacter isolated. Another case also found- both are at an “iconic” northern MN restaurant. Subsequent investigation: 17 cases found. Tomatoes and iceberg lettuce implicated. Dr. Lenhertz discloses eating at the restaurant
Next: Red Cow E. coli outbreak (local MN restaurant in the news for this). Led to recall of 150,000 pounds (!) of ground beef from a MI meat packing plant
Other Mpox factoids:
-1st MN death in 2024
-transmission in home via fomites (no direct contact)
-Clade 1 outbreak DRC: >12,000 cases, 50+ deaths
-tecovirimat (Tpoxx) resistance being observed
