40:40 And to the T, every single one of the No Agenda Gay said by the way we are all kind of freaked out about it and were all getting vaccinated. What a great group because they've been trained to do this! Hey there's something that is only affecting you guys You gotta go out and do this, you gotta do that, now take these pills and get all your tests It's embedded within gay America to just, oh okay you know we just go do whatever we're told. And I have a number of short clips first some general stuff from Good Morning America they're all pretty short and then we have Osterholm and i'm happy to report that
41:21 This is no longer a man having sex with men disease Oh, no They're back with gay and everything and people are asking should they be wiping down surfaces? Well some people may argue we should be wiping down surface. Does anybody remember wiping down circus actually I should have started with this one Let me start with this one gonna bring in our chief medical correspondent dr. Jennifer Ashton right now there are so many questions that folks have the first one being How transmittable is it? So if we put it into our virus perspective context, it's not as easy to... John what do you think virus perspective context is. Does that mean everything we've learned about COVID because this is all very confusing It is not as easy to get monkey pox as it is let's say to get coronavirus You can think of this more as we heard in the piece direct skin-to-skin contact
42:10 usually prolonged contact, but the CDC and the World Health Organization absolutely being clear and really erring on the side of caution that contact with towels or bedding or even close prolonged respiratory contact where someone who's infected may be shedding droplets or even possibly by bodily fluids sexual transmission although we have to remember this is not a STI or STD per se it's really that contact with someone who's infected. Alright, so you know the only reason left for this name-calling would be for a group of gays who have group sex and party hardy which I'm sure that group exists but it seems like an awful lot of noise without specifying that... You can kind of go easy. No! It's like all gays are out to get vaccinated with God knows whatever this is which is actually quite unclear
43:06 And we're going right back to that playbook. You could get it from a toilet seat! It is possible that this virus can be left on, let's say gym equipment just like it can be left on clothes. But hand hygiene Robin is the most important thing not just for monkeypox but for any infectious disease The depth that they've turned to in these reports is stunning to me. It went from it's just a bunch of gays having group sex, to it could be in the gym, it could be on towels, it could be on bedding staying at a hotel and but don't worry we have a vaccine which
43:57 Is it effective? We know there's a vaccine out there. Is there enough to know how effective it is now so let's go through what we know about this vaccine because it seems like we just got up to speed on our COVID vaccines, the monkeypox Yeah! How well did that work out? Vaccines was FDA approved for use in separate... Stopping Backing up and started over because when she says do we know how much the effects of how effective they are And the woman slips in the word no almost before the girl finishes the sentence. and you don't hear it but she says, No She's reading ahead It's all a script We know there is vaccine out there Is there enough to know how effective it is? So let us go through what we know about this vaccine Wow! Okay No! No! The woman is Dr Jen Ashton
44:50 Let's go through what we know about this vaccine because it seems like we just got up to speed on our COVID vaccines. The monkeypox vaccine was FDA approved for use in September of 2019, it is made from something called a vaccinia virus, this is a live but non-replicating virus and does not contain smallpox or monkey pox Exactly though it has been tested. Okay, what does that mean? It's a live virus but it doesn't replicate It doesn't contain monkey pox or other pox kind of listen to this not contains smallpox or monkey pox
45:25 Exactly though, it has been tested... Exactly though? What is exactly then though I'd like to know. Non-replicating virus it does not contain smallpox or monkey pox exactly though It has been tested in about 7800 people in clinical trials However, the efficacy is unknown. I can't tell you it's 20% effective or 80% effective and right now it is FDA approved for people 18 years of age and older It's two subcutaneous injection doses 28 days apart. I mean she's got the sales points down but she kind of glosses over that I don't know how effective this could be 20 percent? Could it be 80 percent?
46:09 So this thing was just developed, nobody knows the efficacy. Which is a word that's new to the world... Is that going to be the Word of The Year from Webster? It's not a new word but it's being put into common usage They don't know the efficacy they don't know this they don't know that just came out blah blah blah But its FDA approved yet?! The COVID vaccine being out and beaten to death is not FDA approved yet! Hello? That's a very good question. I have no idea if it is emergency use or... No, she said FDA approved! I heard her but you know it is She has a TV doctor so yeah
46:51 I don't know, ma'am. Let's see there is danger to other groups? And you know about the CDC warning over the weekend about children under the age of 8 that they could develop more severe illness if infected so what do you tell parents? Right now parents don't need to panic about this they should be aware of what is going on with this as they are with any medical headline They should know whats going on in their community and they should take appropriate steps after discussing any concerns they have with the pediatrician. Children under eight, people with compromised immune systems seem to be at higher risk. Of course you don't die from this, or at least most people don't die from it. So it seems like a painful thing to have but you won't die from it. Thankfully we're not talking about deaths here in the US We're thankful about that But what are the risk factors? Well I think we have to be clear Robin and as unfortunate as this is As the numbers grow based on sheer math It's not impossible that we will see a death here in the U.S There has been deaths in Africa associated with monkeypox
47:54 But in general, this can be a mild illness. It could be a severe illness There's a spectrum of severity and I think we need to be prepared for the numbers to go up significantly I know you'll be discussing this again on GMA3 All right Jim all right yeah so it seems like they're ramping something up and when Osterholm Dr.. Death himself gets involved This is where I start to pay attention because he's not in a hospital setting. He's the guy that went on Rogan very early and said it's going to be millions of people are gonna die, so Osterholm is now getting in the game First and foremost let's just start from the beginning how exactly is monkeypox spread?
