Dr. Kevin Kavanagh from Health Watch USA^sm discusses the rapid spread of monkeypox and that we need to institute more vigorous public health measures to stop the disease with case tracking and ring vaccinations. If monkeypox enters rodents in the United States it will become endemic. In addition, the rapid rise in cases of the BA.5 variant and the need to be up-to-date on vaccinations and boosters is encouraged. The BA.5 is not so much a weaker virus but the population is becoming more immune and we now have effective therapeutics. But if you are not up-to-date on vaccinations you will be at risk. If you develop symptoms of COVID-19 (do not wait for severe symptoms) and are over the age of 50 or immunosuppressed, you should see if you are a candidate for paxlovid. Hospitalizations and ICU admissions are on the rise in Kentucky. There is also the first case of polio in an unvaccinated individual. Unfortunately, vaccine hesitancy is spilling over into other diseases and the consequences can be severe, if our population does not become vaccinated. We need to act as a community not individuals and guard the health of each other. Jack Pattie Show.  July 25, 2022.
