Cases of #mpox ⬆️ in the US and other countries. Important to understand if these are people who have been previously vaccinated as recent data suggests there is waning vaccine immunity. If this is the case may need to consider booster doses of MVA-BN in high risk groups.

@RickABright No one is denying a general absence of good data. But to publicly question pasteurization, even after entities like USDA, FDA, & WHO have said that high heat treatment is effective at eliminating harmful bacteria and viruses demands data to back up that pretty dangerous claim.
I am not surprised that it’s PCR positive post-pasteurization; the issue is if viable viral particles (vs genetic signatures) are present statnews.com/2024/04/23/h5n…
