Playing in poop has nasty consequences.

All sodomites should be forced to wear a bio-hazard suit when ever they leave their houses, they must also wear a bell to alert people to their presence and carry a stick. The stick must be eight feet long. If they can extend their arm and touch someone with a stick they are too close and must retreat to a safe distance.

It is for the safety of the public.

One can argue about the modern dysfunctional health care facilities but one of the reasons why they are “dysfunctional” is that they were founded in times when most people were rather rational and at least pretended to be mostly modest, moral and reasonably chaste. The health care systems founded in eras of generally public moral rationality were not equipped nor did anyone forsee the need to build in the resources needed to take on sudden epidemics of diseases caused by the immoral acts of irrational sensuality based people who want a cure now and immediately!

Excellent post.

Re:”If monkeypox is only spread by sexual contact, why is it called monkeypox?”

It was first discovered in a colony of research monkeys in 1958. Monkeys are not even thought to be a natural reservoir (which is African rodents), although they can catch it and transmit it.

The first human case was not discovered until 1970, in the Congo basin. Back then, it only affected small children who had not been vaccinated for smallpox after it was declared eradicated. As time went on, the ages went up as unvaccinated people grew up, although it remained fairly rare.

Sexual transmission is a new thing. It was mostly caught by people handling “bush meat” in Africa or by those in close contact with someone who had it (handling soiled laundry and bedding that had come in contact with oozing putules, etc.).

Once it managed to get into a particularly promiscuous segment of the homosexual population, it spread like wildfire at gay raves and orgies. So far, this outbreak has stayed within that community. It’s not that easy to catch.

This article is pure yuck on so many levels. What an utter fool. And he thinks government should do something about it, apparently because he felt entitled to have sex with several men on a weekend when he knew there is a gay-male disease around, and believes the taxpayer should have prepared for and picked up the tab for the consequences.

If you are focused on “reproductive health and rights”, you need to know that women are a necessary part of reproduction.

Well, “reproductive health” and “reproductive rights” are usually euphemisms for abortion, and seeing as how the LGBTQ+ brigade is rabidly pro-abortion ... it makes a kind of sense.

“I’m a 39-year-old man from Sweden, living in Brooklyn and working in philanthropy.”

He misspelled “pederasty.”

“I had sex with several guys over the weekend.”


How about ‘2 weeks to flatten the curve?”

Why is a homosexual man reporting on reproductive health?

I will admit I don’t like most of your posts. This one is good. I see increased cancers … now polio and monkey pox. What could have occurred recently to cause immune system issues. I think we will see more of this odd stuff. Low immune system + deviant behavior = more odd diseases.

It doesn’t seem to be so much an immune system problem as mode of transmission problem with this monkeypox outbreak. Immune function may well play a role, as this particular group is more likely to be HIV+, and to also be picking up other STIs along with the pox.

It can be spread by skin-to-skin contact. If you had a little cut or laceration on your hand and touched the weeping pustule of someone suffering from monkeypox, you very well might catch it, even with a strong immune system. And the little monkeypox bumps would likely begin on your hand.

Think about how gay men are spreading it — there are already skin tears and lacerations in that, er, place they find interesting. Their bumps start out in the genital and nether regions.

The outbreak began in earnest after a few “superspreader events”:

https://freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/4065116/posts?page=43#43

Given these men are doing that with other men whose names they don’t know and often travelled from another country, contact tracing must be tough! So it spiraled in that “community”.

These men flew home on planes while symptomatic, and the health departments in their home countries monitored their fellow passengers, but none caught it. It can be spread by touching objects that have come in contact with an oozing pustule, and through prolonged face-to-face contact (droplet spread) — so if people on the planes had weakened immune systems from the Covid vaccines... Hmm. Would not a few have caught it? Maybe yes, maybe no. Can’t really say. There have been symptomatic people on planes a few times before Covid or vaccines and no one caught it.

Previous outbreaks have been easily contained, including the 2003 “pet prairie dog” outbreak in the US:


In 2003, forty-seven confirmed and probable cases of monkeypox were reported from six states—Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin. All people infected with monkeypox in this outbreak became ill after having contact with pet prairie dogs. The pets were infected after being housed near imported small mammals from Ghana. This was the first time that human monkeypox was reported outside of Africa.

Link: https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/monkeypox/outbreak/us-outbreaks.html


What appears to have happened, is now that those who never got the smallpox vaccination are old enough to spread it this way, and some guy who picked it up in West Africa happened to be, or be in “close personal contact” with, an attendee of one of these superspreader events — we got the pox in that group. As some of these men flit from one event to another, it wound up in a number of Western countries quickly. With contact tracing so difficult, it’s no wonder this outbreak has been tough to stop — but has thankfully not spread beyond that group.

I think the outrageously prolongued lockdowns and masking weakened our natural immune systems. I have not seen any evidence yet that the vaccines did, so keeping an open mind on that question, although it does seem unlikely to me.

BTW, I am not vaccinated. I had the original Covid very early on (Feb 2020) and then got Omicron earlier this year. The first was horrible, the second, meh, no biggie. I’m not pro- or anti-vaxx, but very much anti-mandate.

My guess is the HIV community is heavily vaxxed. Nothing good comes from gay, hiv and vaxxed. I think the just hit triple 💀

That’s probably a good guess. They can’t seem to resist playing fast and loose with their health when it comes to STIs and monkeypox, though 🙄

Nothing good comes from having “close personal contact” with multiple strangers at fetish festivals, either. It’s a sad commentary on Western society that we countenance such gatherings. Only a sick society encourages sickness. And I don’t just mean the kind one goes to the doctor about. It’s a moral sickness.
