Turns out the antiviral TPOXX (tecovirimat) doesn't work for mild/moderate Clade II #mpox ( #monkeypox) either, as previously shown for Clade I. Many treated people reported improvement, but symptoms typically resolve anyway -- that's why we need controlled trials.

NIH Study Finds Tecovirimat Was Safe but Did Not Improve Mpox Resolution or Pain
Tecovirimat was safe but did not reduce the time to lesion resolution or reduce pain among adults with mild to moderate clade II mpox and a low risk of severe disease in an international study.

CFTR gene cloned in 1989. Combined CFTR modulators elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor (ETI) approved in 2019 -->
"The introduction of ETI has dramatically reduced the need for lung transplants among people with CF, reflecting significant improvements in lung function and disease management."🧪⚕️

Impact of elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor in lung transplantation for cystic fibrosis in the United States
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive condition leading to progressive lung disease and often necessitating lung transplantation. Historically, CF has been one of the leading indications for lung transplants in the United States. The advent of CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators, particularly elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor (ETI), has significantly improved clinical outcomes for people with CF (pwCF), offering potential alterations in disease progression and transplantation needs.

When RFK Jr. does to the U.S. what he did to Samoa, doctors will say they are horrified, that they love vaccines, blah blah blah. But it will be too late.
