‘Everybody Should Be Concerned’ About Monkeypox, Biden Warns

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.

Excuse me if I'm more worried about the rising costs of everything I need to survive. I'm not worried about monkeypox because I don't screw with monkeys or gay guys. Joe Disaster Biden wants us to worry about anything else but his disastrous policies. Joe has shown us how a moronic senator can become a derelict president. Joe better hope you can't get monkeypox from molesting and sniffing little girls.

Especially Hunter.

Only if you’re Hunter Biden, Brandon.

The big spreader event in Belgium was a ‘fetish festival’.

Well that does it for me. No more Belgium fetish festivals for me. Sure, I'll miss them but sacrifices have to be made.

[Jane Long]

LOL...I hadn’t seen your post, when I posted same.

So, it’s essentially a fag disease like AIDS.

Yeah, I’ll pass.

I think this time when the public reads these headlines, the public is going to be something akin to The Who song, “We’re Not Going to Take It”.

Didn’t know it was originally The Who. Either Twisted Sister or Quiet Riot did a version in the 80’s that is better known to those of us more than a decade from Social Security.

Well thank you for calling me an old geezer, you little dip sh!t. :)

The Who song "Won't Get Fooled Again", comes to mind, in this current situation.

I think Biden is desperately looking for something that is NOT on Hunter’s hard drive.

They do everything they can to keep people living on fear and thwn voting for them.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Perfect.

[Hieronymus]

I’m closing in to being within a decade of Social Security myself, and the second of my kids will be starting college this fall, so I’m not exactly a spring chicken, but, alas, my first Presidential General election ballot was wasted on a Bush at the top of the ticket.

I imagine you, at least, had the privilege of voting for RR.

[I want the USA back]

The new covid scare.

If Trump had said the words “monkey pox” he would have been called racist.

[Maskot]

That’s Twisted Sister. Stay Hungry

[Old Yeller]

Maybe the people who turned it into a gain of function should be concerned. People are going to go ape shit, if they put us through thi crap again.

[Maskot]

Silly you! We’ve moved on to the Spring of corpses

[mykroar]

better start printing the ballots

[kempster]

Get it started now so we can insure they don’t take away those voting boxes.
