I hadn’t seen anything about this. According to the article, this isn’t new or a one off. “Several of these minors, they said, have foregone schooling in order to work long shifts at the plant, a sprawling facility with a documented history of health and safety violations, including amputation hazards. Most of the current and former employees who spoke with Reuters did so on the condition of anonymity. Reuters was unable to determine the precise number of children who may have worked at the SMART factory, what the minors were paid or other terms of their employment.“ I posted about it late last week when the Reuters' story broke. It's layers of terrible.

The burn pit thing is so unbelievably fucked up. Like unreal. And I can almost guarantee you none of the right wing outlets will cover it in any meaningful way, if at all. One of my neighbors was very involved in the activism to get burn pit legislation passed right until her death from cancer earlier this year. She was exposed to the pits in Iraq and left behind a young son and husband. It’s infuriating that the GOP is using PACT for political hardball.

So this is from a CDC manual, but this is what the CDC is tweeting out. Like, which is it?
DH and I actually got into it a bit the other night because he heard Fauci on the radio tell him it’s not airborne and not a respiratory virus and I was all not so fast.

Monkey pox and eczema are a bad combination, apparently, so I’m spiraling on that right now. And you can’t get the smallpox vaccine if you have eczema, either, so that’s awesome. I swear if I avoided covid for 2.5 years to get freaking monkey pox…I can’t anymore.

I swear if I avoided covid for 2.5 years to get freaking monkey pox…I can’t anymore. I’m trying not to center myself and my family in this yet because I know it’s not quite at the stage where I need to worry but ugh. My twins have eczema. I have very very mild eczema but I’ve never reacted to a vaccine before. If this gets to a point where my kids need but can’t get the vaccine…I can’t let my mind go there. I need to keep this away from a spiral, and I hope the gov can get a handle on it.

I’ve had it my entire life and usually it’s just an annoying thing I have to manage, but I’ve seen it mentioned a few times in conjunction with monkeypox so I started googling. I should definitely talk to an actual doctor about it.

If it helps, our allergist sent out an email today suggesting that eczema in no way contraindicates a monkeypox vaccine.

I swear if I avoided covid for 2.5 years to get freaking monkey pox…I can’t anymore. I read up on the vaccines a bit because I get eczema, atopic dermatitis, and psoriasis (my skin hates me). You can get vaccinated with the Monkeypox-specific Jynneos vaccine if you have eczema and atopic dermatitis, but not the ACAM200 smallpox vaccine. The federal government has an order in for more of the Jynneos vax, but there’s obviously not enough to go around right now. www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/monkeypox/considerations-for-monkeypox-vaccination.htmlSome of the complications of getting monkey pox if you have eczema are pretty awful. 😞

It’s no fun. Psoriasis runs in my family, so I’m always worried I’m going to end up with that, too. Good to know about the vaccines and that there is an alternative. I just hope the government is getting it together on this, especially how it is actually transmitted.

What is happening in St Louis? I heard about a crazy amount of rain but apparently it’s flooded and the Governor hasn’t declared a state of emergency so they can’t get federal help. Not good.

One of the cities very close to me got approximately 12 inches of rain Monday night and we had more storms this afternoon. Roads have been closed and everything has been a pretty big mess for the last couple of days. It looks like maybe the Lt governor declared a state of emergency though.

We were in such a drought. And then we got a years worth of rain in three days. (#climatechangeisstaringthesepeopleintheface) It's not like a major river flooding for the most part its every creek overrunning and filling up everyone's basement and ruining their cars. Tuesday was crazy with some places getting 10-15 inches. and then today we got like 2 inches in less than an hour. Unfortunately, I would have no confidence in the MO government helping them.
