Aerosolized Monkeypox Viruses

This article will show the different studies that show that the monkeypox virus has been aerosolized.  Typically, monkeypox can be spread by droplets and close contact. Droplet spread is when someone coughs or sneezes, and viral particles come out with the body fluids like phlegm and saliva.

Suppose someone inhales the virus in a droplet form. In that case, it has to go thru the mechanical defenses of the body like the cilia in the mucosal lining of the nose that can “catch” the droplets and expel them during sneezing or coughing. Immune cells are also present, like the natural killer cells, white blood cells, and antibodies in the inner lining of the nose and throat that protect against any pathogens.

If ever the monkeypox could penetrate the linings of the nose and throat, it will have to pass thru the lymph nodes around the neck and throat, where they will encounter more immune cells that will make antibodies against them.

Lymph nodes also protect against contact spread. The monkeypox skin lesions are teeming with the virus before they become encrusted. If contact with an infected body fluid thru the skin happens, the virus can penetrate the skin. Then it has to pass the regional lymph nodes of the body. These lymph nodes are all over the body, like the underarm area that drains the whole upper extremity.

Inside the lymph nodes are immune cells that can effectively kill any pathogens. The layers of protection can explain why not all who have the monkeypox dies.

The monkeypox virus has a case fatality rate of 1% if the clade is from West Africa but 10% if from the Congo basin or Central Africa.

However, if a virus is aerosolized, it bypasses the protective mechanisms and becomes more pathogenic and lethal. Plus, you cannot tell if the air you’re breathing is aerosolized. Aerosols are invisible and make ideal bioweapons.

Aerosolized monkeypox in laboratories

Since 2001, scientists from the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) in Frederick, Maryland, USA, have successfully aerosolized the monkeypox virus.

In their experiment, aerosolized monkeypox virus of the Zaire strain (the deadlier clade) can quickly go to the deepest part of the lungs called the alveoli. Then they can start fibronectin bronchopneumonia, and death ensues nine to ten days after exposure. [1]

Another study from Tulane University, Susceptibility of Monkeypox virus aerosol suspensions in a rotating chamber, was able to find out that aerosolized monkeypox viruses could survive from 18 and up to ninety hours in the air. [2]

The third study showed that three out of four monkeys died after exposure to the aerosolized monkeypox. Two of the three that died only had a few pox lesions, and one did not have any. The study showed that deaths are dose-dependent. The higher the amount, the more likely the animals are to die. All deaths are due to respiratory infections. [3]

Monkeypox is similar to smallpox but less deadly. The studies in this article were done to understand smallpox infections better.  The remaining smallpox viruses are in the CDC in Atlanta, USA, and the State Research Centre of Virology and Biotechnology, Novosibirsk, Russian Federation (VECTOR) and are not available for research.

I researched aerosolized monkeypox because I wondered why the 2022 monkeypox infections in the UK, the US, Spain, Portugal, Germany, and Australia happened within the same week. Monkeypox is not endemic in those countries.

A single source cannot explain the 100 cases of monkeypox in different countries of Europe. There was no mention that all of those cases were together at one time in Africa.  The incubation period of monkeypox is usually from 6 to 13 days. During that time, it is not yet infectious.

Monkeypox becomes contagious once the rash occurs and lasts for 14 to 21 days. Therefore you need at least one to two weeks for the next group of infected people to become symptomatic.

Is it possible that aerosolized monkeypox is being spread in different parts of the world? If that is so, expect thousands of cases in the coming weeks. Be careful with enclosed spaces.

  1. No matter what happens, I would think that the vaccinated from a year ago will have more problems than the unvaxxed. If there is a vaccine for this monkeypox, I will still not take it.
