    WHO Warns Monkeypox Could "Accelerate" During Summer, CDC Alerts US Doctors As Virus Reaches 13 Countries.

    [​IMG]
    Possibly, mainly, an STD rapidly spreading among male homosexuals.

    “As we enter the summer season… with mass gatherings, festivals and parties, I am concerned that transmission [of monkeypox] could accelerate.”

    "The number of the infected could rise because “the cases currently being detected are among those engaging in sexual activity,” and many don't recognize the symptoms."

    Transmitting locally.

    "“All but one of the recent cases have no relevant travel history to areas where monkeypox is endemic,

    "The CDC noted that in the case of the United Kingdom, there was a “temporally clustered group of cases involving four people who self-identify as gay, bisexual, or men who have sex with men.

    "Proctitis is inflammation of the lining of the rectum and can cause rectal pain, diarrhea, bleeding, and discharge."

    "the smallpox vaccine is at least 85% effective in preventing monkeypox,” the CDC stated."

    We no longer vaccinate for smallpox and if vaccinated, in order to remain protected, one should have a 3 year booster.

    Hopefully these warnings will result in sensible behavior that is conducive to maintaining health.

    They just can't stand missing an opportunity to start another hysteria. Since WHO is a mouthpiece for the CCP I'll ignore it. This is a very rare virus, folks. You might as well get hysterical about plague.

    This is where the gay community does all it can to spread it into the straight community so it won’t be all about them .

    I don't know anything about this, but if you're going to ignore it, I might start paying attention to it. Seeing that, last time I saw a post like yours, we ended up with over a million dead (and counting). And most of them precisely because right wingers "ignored" the virus.

    The rule of thumb is that when a MAGA right-winger adopts one position, the safest option is to adopt the opposite. Their history of being consistently wrong just about every single time, teaches us that it's better to shoot and ask questions later (figuratively speaking).

    Gag me with a spoon, but I’ll start watching CNN so I’ll know what you will be posting before you do… I’ll try and head off your misinformed posts before you can spread the liberal pox lies.

    Did all those millions around the world also vote for Trump? Sheesh!! Better check your death rates again because blue states were very high as well. Maybe if people in NY and CA masked up appropriately in the first place it wouldn’t have spread to other states:) that’s how it got here. Certainly didn’t come through TN or Idaho.

    Way to be divisive though. Good show.

    Maybe we should make it very clear to them that they will not be left on their own and that we will fight this with everything we have to fight the disease with.

    Smallpox vaccinations are very effective against it, and we have a lot of experience with the Smallpox vaccine, it's very safe, we know how to make it, and maybe we should be making or buying a bunch of it. Joe Biden, to his credit, just bought a bunch from Germany (A combo Smallpox and Monkeypox) vaccine.

    True. We didn’t have an AIDS vaccine in the early 1980’s and still do not but therapeutics can limit its damage.

    I heard on the news today that 2 cases of Monkeypox have been reported in the USA. Scared the hell out of me. I guess I better self-quarantine for a year. The USA should send $50 million to the WHO. Fauci needs to get back on TV and maybe tell us to wear a hood, gloves, and condoms.

    For starters, monkeypox is a rare disease that is spread by bodily fluids. That does not mean gay. According to the CDC, it is spread through contact with small African rodents or monkeys. Monkeypox was first discovered in 1958 with the first human case in the Republic of Congo while trying to eliminate smallpox. It is not an STD because it belongs to the pox family of viruses, or Orthopoxvirus genus, which includes the variola virus.

    International travel and contact with animals that may carry the virus is the most likely cause. Spreading is through bodily fluids and since the exchange of bodily fluids can occur in hetero and homosexual relationships or by picking up feces or by putting your hands on your shoes that have feces on it, etc, it can happen in a number of ways.

    No we wound dead because the garbage you all insisted on brought on a false sense of and largely didn't work. MRNA vaccines have proven to be worse than taking nothing and the the other vaccines seemed to have help only slightly better especially against the latest strains which are becoming less and less deadly for people who are not heavily compromised health wise anyway. By the way anyone who believes any thing coming out if the CDC or China regarding any sort of infectious disease is probably still waiting for that Nigerian prince to deliver their share of the gold.

    If it is an STD then it will not be confined to the homosexual community :roll:

    Ye Gods this is straight out of the early “HIV AIDS” scarebook from the early eighties where the Gay community as it was known in those days was made the target of fear and hatred because they were “spreading the virus”

    Now this was from “Zerohedge” = Zerofacts. So let us fact-check it against what the WHO is saying

    Oh! And for all you anti vaxxers out there

    It has been around a long time but, fortunately it has nowhere near the infectious rate of Covid

    It looks like there is some evidence that getting vaccinated even after catching it can help with recovery.

    Would you believe this is the ONE vaccine I am allergic to! I have spent YEARS gloating over the fact smallpox has been wiped from the world. I suppose you cannot be lucky forever :p

    Wasn't it Pelosi who went to China town and told everyone to come down as her state had it under control infecting thousands?
    Wasn't it Cuomo who told everyone to continue riding the subways and go to concerts while allowing millions to riot in the streets?

    The convenient minds of the left.

    Wasn’t it Trump who held rallies all over America and was responsible for the deaths of thousands?

    And that was only a few of the rallies

    Now where near the number deaths created in 23 Democrat states allowing 576 riots infecting millions of people.
    But the hypocrisy is hilarious

    Proof? Proof please because most of those “riots” (and I love how to Republicans peaceful protests are suddenly riots whilst storming of the Capitol is simply a tourist visit) were outdoors where there is less chance of spread versus rallies where people were in close contact often indoors with a greater chance of spread

    Oh, so gatherings of millions upon millions spreading Covid shoulder to shoulder and you need proof, but a rally with a few thousand and your convinced?
    Please, spare us all the hypocrisy

    I'm so sorry to hear that. This is a nasty looking disease. Hopefully they will be able to give you some alternatives to consider.

    If there were millions on millions why did not the government of the day address the underpinning concerns of so many citizens? That is how you stop “riots” by listening to people not sending in black ops thugs to kidnap people off of the street

    Hyperbole and Hypocrisy
