Unfortunately I actually fear this may happen with the rise of MPOX in the states. If the people in charge of HHS and the Pandemic Response team get gutted or mislead then I fear we will be back to COVID lockdown but for MPOX.

Don't worry, they would probably make any effective controls illegal at the federal level so no lockdowns, masks or vaccines for the next pandemic in the US.

Hell, they'll probably make us pay back the economic impact payments we got during the last pandemic.

Don't worry there won't be a lockdown we'll just die

Hahahaha….ha………..ha looks around in silent alarm

I'm not really worried about a Mpox pandemic as it only spreads by touch as far as we know. My concern is bird flu. We're starting to see more cases of it infecting humans and if it turns into a pandemic is will likely be extremely deadly.

Could still be for COVID. It's still kicking around

[-] irish_link@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Ohh I know it’s still around but it’s it’s just endemic now and not pandemic. And we have a vaccine even if people don’t take it.

[-] LycanGalen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

It's not endemic yet because it continues to mutate, and while vaccinations reduce how many people die, they do not equate to immunity, meaning infection rates continue to be unstable. It won't hit endemic until the numbers are predictable, and that hasn't happened yet.

Vaccinations also do not provide much in terms of protection from long covid. I would argue while the acute phase of covid may be working towards becoming endemic, the post-Covid condition is not. 11% of covid infections become long covid (that's vaccinated and not combined) and 25% of those never go away. On top of this, risk of long covid increases every time someone contracts covid,as does the risk of it being permanent. So with no mitigations in place, we are pushing towards a mass disabling event that none of the health centres, governments, etc. are talking about.

Forget mpox, how about the bird flu in our dairy cows and the incoming administration wanting to promote raw milk?
