Monkeypox: That unasked question
American Thinker.com ^ | May 21, 2022 | Monica Showalter

Scientists, it seems, are baffled by the unexplained appearance of the smallpox-like illness associated with rodents called "monkeypox" in the West which brings unsightly sores to the skin of those who are afflicted with it.

Long a disease seen mostly in parts of tropical Africa, it has now made appearances in the U.S. continental Europe, Canada, and the U.K., all at approximately the same time.

According to the Associated Press:

BLONDON (AP) — As more cases of monkeypox are detected in Europe and North America, some scientists who have monitored numerous outbreaks in Africa say they are baffled by the unusual disease's spread in the West.

Cases of the smallpox-related disease haven’t previously been seen among people with no links to central and West Africa. But in the past week, Britain, Spain, Portugal, Italy, U.S., Sweden and Canada all reported infections, mostly in young men who hadn’t previously traveled to Africa.

France, Germany, Belgium and Australia confirmed their first cases of monkeypox on Friday.

“I’m stunned by this. Every day I wake up and there are more countries infected,” said Oyewale Tomori, a virologist who formerly headed the Nigerian Academy of Science and who sits on several World Health Organization advisory boards.

“This is not the kind of spread we’ve seen in West Africa, so there may be something new happening in the West,” he said.

Viruses and bacterias, of course, can mutate, which could explain the sudden rate of the spread.

But the unasked question in all of the stories cited is how the disease got here to start with.

It’s a compromised immune system affliction. Gays are known for compromised immune systems, ie..AIDS. Well,... so now we’re discovering, are the covid-19vaccinated. Being that Gates and his globalist crew were simulating a monkey virus outbreak a few years ago, could this be the second punch initiated by the covid-19 outbreak and vaccination campaign?

How about Africans traveling to the US?

Lost count of how many disease outbreak there have been due to the G in LGBT. Of course the most infamous is HIV/AIDS. There are antibiotic resistant strains of STDs being spread by that community.

If it actually is a virus spread by pillow-biter activities, you can expect a massive global over-reaction from the coprophiles in government around the world.

It’s easy! Large scale vaccination of civilian populations around the world against Smallpox ended even before the total eradication of Smallpox in 1977. Nowadays only militaries are vaccinated against Smallpox as a prevention of use of Smallpox as a bioweapon. Most of the world’s population has no immunity to orthopox viruses like Smallpox and Monkeypox. Now that it has been almost 45 years since the total eradication of Smallpox, the world’s population is quite vulnerable to previously obscure varieties of orthopoxes. Mix in an even larger scale civilian air transport system that can get people from just about any spot in the world to any other spot in the world in under 24 hours, and you have perfect conditions for the emergence of a new orthopox virus.

Contrary to the author’s assertion of high rates of mutation of pathogens, orthopox viruses have low rates of mutations, because they are DNA viruses not RNA viruses like COVID-19 and HIV. That’s why the Cowpox virus and it’s descendants are very effective at immunizing against all orthopox viruses not just Smallpox.

After the eradication of Smallpox, the FDA and WHO wanted to ban vaccination of civilian populations against Smallpox in order to prevent use of Smallpox as a bioweapon. That’s why it’s almost impossible to get access to Smallpox vaccines that are very effective against Monkeypox. What’s needed is some relaxation of restrictions, so people traveling to or from parts of Africa where there have been Monkeypox outbreaks, can get vaccinated. There are newer and much safer Smallpox vaccines that are available.

I'm sure it's just coincidental...

Woman who helped monkeys in Pennsylvania crash experiencing health issues: report
"Because the monkey did hiss at me and there were feces around, and I did have an open cut, they just want to be precautious," Fallon told the outlet, adding that she would be on preventative medicine for approximately two weeks and had just received her first dose of rabies vaccine and a round of anti-viral medication.

May as well rename it “Bugger-pox”. With a vector that appears to be traced to gay sex, originating in bathhouses and the like, it’s clear what is transmitting the disease. So how long before they infect the blood supply again?

In social media there are random posts for gays to watch out for “unusual rashes”. They didn’t say “BuggerPox” that I recall, but the image of the rash stuck in my mind. They know…

This can be spread in more ways than gay contact. It gets in through broken skin. The idea this is only a gay thing is not accurate.

Plus we don’t know if the scumbags at NIH and one of their gain of function labs have made this worse than it has always been.

NWO RATs win again and the people lose.

“”””Scientists, it seems, are baffled by the unexplained appearance of the smallpox-like illness””””


On the other hand, the people with a smattering of common sense can easily see there is a correlation between ‘open borders invasions’ and the spread of various infectious diseases.

Get ready folks for more TB and smallpox cases as Biden brings those pesky critters to your neighborhood.

Transmission of the monkeypox virus among humans is limited, but it can happen through close skin contact, air droplets, bodily fluids, and virus-contaminated objects.

Viruses are not affected by antibiotics. The use of antibiotics to treat virus infections is a waste of time and money. Antibiotics can be used to treat secondary bacterial infections.

I can think of no better place than a festival like this to release a pathogen.

I bet we find this isn’t a gay man’s disease, that’s just where it was released.
