The authors from the United Kingdom conducted a retrospective cohort study to examine the anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination status of individuals who were diagnosed with leprosy and attended in 2021 the Leprosy Clinic at the Hospital for Tropical Diseases, London, UK, a national referral center in the UK for tropical and infectious diseases. They also examined whether any of these individuals had developed leprosy or experienced a new leprosy reaction within the 12 weeks following the anri-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. They presented two cases who met the criteria for a new leprosy adverse events associated with BNT162b2 anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.
Since 1954, there have been no reports of an individual acquiring leprosy in the UK. However, individuals who have migrated from or lived for extended period in countries with endemic leprosy continue to be diagnosed.
Leprosy is a caused by Mycobacterium leprae. The clinical presentation depends on the immune response of the affected person. Tuberculoid and borderline tuberculoid leprosy is characterized by Th1 type immune response with granuloma formation in the presence of CD4+ T cells and few or no bacteria identifiable in tissues. A high bacterial load, poor granuloma formation and a predominance of CD8+ T cells are characteristics of lepromatous leprosy.
The individuals diagnosed with leprosy can have immune-mediated complications known as leprosy reactions. There are two types of leprosy reactions. The characteristics of Type 1 reaction are the development of edema, inflammation in existing leprosy skin lesions and nerves, pain and loss of function. Type 1 reaction is a delayed hypersensitivity reaction toantigens of Mycobacterium leprae. Erythema Nodosum Leprosum or Type 2 Reaction is a multisystem complication characterized by painful cutaneous nodules, fever, arthralgia, arthritis, and neuritis. MORE

NPR: What’s behind the increase in leprosy cases in Florida:
…Typically through prolonged contact via respiratory droplet with someone who has untreated disease. And I think it’s important to note that in this situation, we’re talking about many months. We’re not talking about hours or days. Now, in the United States, it’s important to note that a good portion of these cases, we actually do not have reported close contact with someone who has untreated disease. It’s just such an uncommon illness. And in these situations, it’s a little bit of a conjecture. One of the main theories out there is that it’s transmitted to people from animals. And the most common vector or animal that we know that carries this bacteria is the nine-banded armadillo.
Another reason to be thankful that I didn’t get the jab.
How very biblical.
I wonder what ELSE they’d like to bring to life from the Bible?
Just remember that saying something or someone has a significance of Biblical proportion isn’t necessarily a compliment.
Satan is in the Bible, after all, and knows it better than most Christians do, and not being very creative he just LOVES to rerun everything he did before on a new generation that was taught to ignore the very book he’s working from that tells all his secrets…
Here we go again. I’m quite tired of all the propagandizing and fear mongering to get peoplel to beg and plead for MOAR VAXXINES!

…FWIW, I wouldn’t take a needle at this point if they told me it would give me a deathless priaprism and superpowers.
…althogh with a stout enough priaprism, you’d be able to pole vault over tall buildings in a single bound…
SNS, I’m kind of curious how you know what priapism means?
Whut did the Leper say to the prostitute?
“Keep the tip”
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnd what do the flaming assholes in Jackass Joe’s administration do??
Health Secretary Xavier Becerra, a Biden appointee, wrote in a social media post that people should get vaccinated “if it’s been over 2 months since your last dose,”
Soooooo get the jab 6 times a year!

…it’s a secondary exam sign for back injury assessment. A painful nonsexually stimulated hard-on can point to serious spinal trauma and is a danger in its own right as a failure of erectile tissue to subside, in addition to being quite painful, can lead to penile tissue necrosis. This used to be taught to medics in 19dickety2 when I had my license, can’t tell you if they do now or not.
Anyone with a stiffie after an accident has a problem.
Accidents are NOT sexy.
SNS, now a days it is only normal for women to have erections.

With my recent bs in my county and having the queers come after me, I read a lot of cherry picking verses that we had to love them because God loved them and God made them, we aren’t to judge them, blah, blah, blah.
Besides not doing as many were trying to defend themselves by saying they do love them, aren’t judging them etc., I didn’t play their game. I made them and other Christians who wanted to play nice, learn what the chapter was in reference to and who was being talked to. Which as those who do read their Bible should know, you must at least read the entire chapter for context of one verse. I also would throw in their face that quoting the Bible means nothing to me, Satan knows the Bible backwards and forwards and sends his demons out to twist the Words and confuse believers. He’s not after those lost forever after all, he already has them.
The reason so many are so easily misled is they don’t read the Bible. If they did very little of what he replays would go on today.
