I feel like they had to come up with some bogus idea or reason why people are just dropping dad after getting many boosters

What r the odds of this happening right after a hit TV series about a deadly fungus that turns people into Zombies was released? 💀💀

They were talking about this during the pandemic. They say it is resistant to antibiotics, but antibiotics are for bacteria while antifungals are for fungus.

Oh, and ALL FUNGUS IS RESISTANT TO ANTIBIOTICS THAT ARE USED FOR BACTERIA, you need an anti fungal to fight fungus.
😂😂😂

Lots of antibiotics, lot of vaccines and medicines, basically doing what the doctors tell you to do, equals a very weak immune system. I'm not worried at all. I'm healthy and strong, I never do what MDs advise.

Nosocomial infection
Hospitals need to sanitize better

This news clip is a bit muddled.
Candida auris is a yeast/fungus, so it's treated with antifungals. Unfortunately c. auris is resistant to many of the currently available antifungals normally used to treat candida infections.

In addition, prior treatment with antifungals OR antibiotics increases your susceptibility to c. auris.

Most infections are showing up in hospitals and nursing homes. Highest risk of infection appears among patients with lines and tubes going into their body (breathing tubes, feeding tubes etc).

Candida also known as yeast infection that is so strange that the highest concentration of cases are in Nevada 🤔

In other states, bedding is changed every day. I've been in Las Vegas hospitals for up to a week. The bedding is never changed. I was not brought a basin and soap so I could clean myself. I could not get even a tiny bottle of shampoo. This BS is unheard of in better areas of the country.

Dr Daliah Wachs needs to seek medical help for whatever the heck is going on with her eyes.

[apriljohansen]

It's being sprayed on us, daily. Chemtrails cocktail, it's in the air, soil, food and water.

Dr. Wachs should watch a few vids on natural makeup.

In Conclusion: Seriously!!!?? A hot Mess!!!..

[katiedid]

Why does Nevada have so many cases???
Seems like far more than anywhere else in this country.

Great reporting, deep diving into the science with nothing but facts...bravo!

[SN-blxm]

It seems the Nevada hospital have a problem with cleanness in their hospitals. Maybe they need to school themselves on how to have their hospitals clean, disinfected and clean from bacterias.

What are the stats on citizens versus non-citizens in this area? Wondering if this is coming from across the border?

More sanitizing product please…..a sure way to weaken our immune system even more, we are turning our society into a marshmallow

We are officially living in the Movie Super Mario Brother’s 😂😂😂

The reporter has to do her homework. Antibiotics are never used for fungal infections, its azoles that are used 🙄
