Potentially deadly fungus spreading rapidly in US health care facilities
ABC ^ | 3/21/23 | Mary Kekatos

Cases of Candida auris doubled in 2021, according to a new CDC report.

A recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealed the fungus Candida auris is spreading rapidly through U.S. health care facilities.

Also known as C. auris, reports of cases linked to the drug-resistant fungus have doubled in 2021.

In addition, the fungus is behind an outbreak in Mississippi that began in November, infecting at least 12 people and potentially responsible for about four deaths, according to figures provided by the state Department of Health to ABC News.

Although C. auris does not present a threat to most healthy people, and infections are rare, it can affect vulnerable groups of people and can be resistant to several classes of drugs.

Well duh, from the beginning of time, people have been told not to eat certain fungi(mushrooms).

Although I have to admit, there is nothing better to eat, than a medium rare rib eye, smothered in onions and mushrooms, with a baked potato loaded with butter, chives, and bacon. Add in a side salad.

Here’s a thought. AIDS now appears to be induced by the jab A sysmptom of AIDS is that a compromised immune system can cause candida to develope on the tongue and in the mouth. I wonder if this new fungus outbreak is fallout from the jab.

This should be interesting. Anyone who has done even 5 minutes of research knows that copper kills fungi on contact. We, as a species, try all of these fancy drugs and concoctions, but we forget the basics.

Ivermectin, a drug discovered in 1975, has shown to be exceptionally effective against a whole host of bugs and baddies, but government just dismissed it as “horse medicine” for COVID. Brilliant.

Same thing with C. Diff. Wash your hands thoroughly, you don’t get it. But it plagues hospitals the world over. Imagine.

So a fungus that might be pharmaceutical resistant? Has anyone thought to mix some copper sulfate into a bottle with water and some dish soap? Nah, we need to give big pharma our money. They always come up with better ideas. I mean... they ARE scientists.

Note: yes, I realize some of what I said is a gross oversimplification. Don’t flame me because you happen to have a cousin whose husband’s sister’s third aunt is a chemist.

Also might be that with healthcare systems bleeding money thanks to the scamdemic, infection control protocols have become a joke.

I can give you chapter and verse on that last one.

Without fungus we would be buried under a couple hundred feet of all manner of dead stuff that wont go away. Life as we know it is impossible without fungus.

“... infection control protocols...”

Primary of which is to guard your boarders.

I mean, animals have to sit in quarantine for weeks before you can bring them into the country...but humans from all over can enter whenever and however the want????????????????????

drug-resistant fungus

Read this and can't help but wonder if coconut oil would kill it. If you're full of candida, coconut oil will remove it in a very harsh and quick manner. Low/no sugar diet will control fungus too. But that would solve a multitude of ailments, so that remedy will be ignored.

Damaged immune systems are a side effect and causes a form of HIV.

It’s my third cousin’s ex-stepboyfriend’s uncle’s half-neighbor, twice removed, and they/their not a chemist but a rocket surgeon.

Oh Gus, the gardeners gone now
And you went with him too

The fungus here
Reminds me of
The fun Gus is having with you

Now the rockery’s a mockery,
with weeds it’s overgrown

The fuchsia’s gone,
I couldn’t face the fuchsia all alone

And my tears fell like raindrops from the sky above
And poisoned all the flowers in my Garden of Love

-Benny Hill

I am certain that they are eminently qualified to speak on the matter.
