‘Everybody Should Be Concerned’ About Monkeypox, Biden Warns
new york times ^ | 5/22/2022 | By Russell Goldman

President Biden raised the alarm on Sunday about monkeypox, a viral infection fast spreading around the world, and warned that the disease, which can be spread as easily as through handling a contaminated object, is something “that everybody should be concerned about.”

Monkeypox, rarely seen outside Africa, has been found in recent weeks in Europe and the United States.

As of Saturday, 92 cases and 28 suspected cases had been identified in 12 countries outside of those African nations where it is endemic, according to the World Health Organization. There has been one confirmed case in the United States — a man in Boston was diagnosed last week — but public health officials believe case numbers will soon increase.

"Monkey Pox will STEAL the next election, too"

Whether it's covid, Monkey Pox, Influenza or something else, mail in voting is here to stay, so we better get strong controls on it.

And learn the lessons from the few audits that have been done.

‘...which can be spread as easily as through handling a contaminated object...”

Preparing us for the mandatory wearing of gloves. Time to research who manufactures gloves and invest.

I’m much more concerned about all the monkey shit thrown about by Biden, his evil little elf in an effort to scare the public and facilitate another lockdown in time for the midterms.

“So thinking you are not vulnerable because you are not gay is somewhat pointless, since deaths are mostly in children.”


I’ve read that in Africa, monkey pox is often spread by the consumption and or handling of ‘bush meat’ eg. monkeys. That might explain why children contract the disease in there.

Since I’m not gay, nor fond of monkey meat and am old enough to have received a small pox vaccination (and even administered some) I think I’m likely to be OK for this plague.

"Notable in that article: “There has been an outbreak in the country linked to a gay fetish festival called Darklands, where three attendees tested positive.”"

More notable in this article, from the Darkslands festival site itself:

"Three cases of Monkeypox have been identified in Belgium, more specifically on Flemish territory. In recent weeks, cases have also been identified in Europe, in particular in the United Kingdom, Portugal and Spain, mainly in men who have sex with men (MSM), but not exclusively.

Monkeypox is a rare viral disease that occurs in West Africa and does not spread easily among the population. For transmission, a person must have had close contact with an infected person, or contact with clothing or linens used by an infected person to transmit the infection. Monkeypox can therefore be transmitted through sexual contact. However, the risk to the general population is low.

Men who have sex with other men, or those who have multiple sexual partners, should be especially vigilant."

The Small Pox vaccine which wiped out Small Pox is also effective equally against the Monkey Pox.

Although the Small Pox vaccination is no longer administered today, if you are a Boomer, you likely received it.

Very simple solution to the Monkey Pox virus…….dust off the Small Pox vaccine.

Some FReepers remain mired in Covid.

One or two still on Bird Flu.

Only some recent report had any mention of gay sex as the transmission mechanism.

It's NOT "gay" sex.

It's HOMOSEXXUAL sex.

These godless perverts need to be confronted with the truth and their attempt to rebrand/remarket the correct word is another sign they are ashamed of their satanic lifestyle choice.
