‘I literally screamed out loud in pain’: my two weeks of monkeypox hell (Barf Alert)
The Guardian ^ | July 23, 2022 | Sebastian Köhn, as told to Wilfred Chan

Posted on 07/24/2022 6:19:17 AM PDT by karpov

I got monkeypox and it’s been a total nightmare.

When New York Pride festivities kicked off on 24 June, I was aware that monkeypox was an emerging issue – especially for gay men – but I was also under the impression that the number of cases in the city was relatively small. What I didn’t understand was how absolutely dismal testing capacity was: at that point, the city only had capacity to process ten tests a day.

I had sex with several guys over the weekend. Then a week later, on 1 July, I started feeling very fatigued. I had a high fever with chills and muscle aches, and my lymph nodes were so swollen they were protruding two inches out of my throat.

First, I took a Covid self-test: negative. Then I started suspecting monkeypox. I texted a friend: I’m just sitting here waiting for the rash to start.

I’m a 39-year-old man from Sweden, living in Brooklyn and working in philanthropy. For the past decade, my work has primarily focused on sexual and reproductive health and rights, so I followed the outbreak from the very beginning. I had even tried to get vaccinated when New York City launched an initial vaccination drive on 23 June. But like the vast majority of other New Yorkers who tried to get an appointment, I had no luck.

Two days after my symptoms began, the rash started as anorectal lesions – painful sores on my anus and rectum. Initially it was a stinging, itchy feeling. I wasn’t scared at this point. I was told that it would be mild, and I was a completely healthy individual with no underlying conditions. But I had no idea how bad it was going to get.

This ENTIRE article is an exercise in perversion and this writer's belief somehow that he isn't at fault? Or that WE (the US) didn't RUSH out a vax for him?

Writing mostly about 'sexual and reproductive health?'

Anorectal lesions? Extreme pain?

There was a simple 'cure' for that all along, fella. Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind...

Spot on. They don’t see a problem. Sex rules their lives. And that view is spreading to the straight population as my daughter is discovering where huys expect sex on the first date and vcv she sees that as demeaning.

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

Gee, I wonder if nature is trying to tell humans to stop the unnatural sex acts.

Just sayin’.

Straight men likely have no idea how much random sex gay men are having. Massive orgies with multiple partners are a very real and common occurrence.

Men are always horny and always want sex. That doesn't change when one is gay. With straight guys, women act as a check valve on these urges, limited the amount of sex we get by making it more difficult.

With gay men, there's no check valve. Just a bunch of always horny dudes having endless butt sex with an endless supply of willing partners.

I read the whole article. When you posted “barf alert”, man, you weren’t kidding.
I have one simple piece of advice for the author.
DON’T HAVE SEX WITH OTHER MEN!
geez…🙄

Both AIDS and Monkeypox came from monkeys.

Maybe the solution is for folks to stop diddling monkeys…

The average ho osexual suppxoedly has over 1000 hookups/partners in their ,ifetime. Then they inevitably get diseases, and then they demand that society tske care of,them to the tune of millions of dollars per person to keep,them alive and spreading their diseases to more of,their hookups/partners

People say “it’s fine as long as they keep,to,themsleves” but the problem is they do not keep their perversion and resu,ting consequences to themselves. Theh spread it to others, to bi folks, to drug addicts, to even health care professionals via accidents etc. And when they get sick, the taxpayer is o mthe hook to pay costly medical bills for the rest of their lives. The infected people miss work, putting a burden on their employers, on businesses, etc.

Not,to mention they shove their abominations on the nation by forcing schools libraries, even churches to bow,to,their demands - AFTER they swore up and down that “all they wanted was to be happily married” and swore that Th3y wouod,”never go after anyone who doesn’t support their lifestyle.”

Thye don’t just “keep,to,themselves”, far from it.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

As described, his symptoms during his Monkey Pox episode were horrific, but they were also ...

SELF-INFLICTED

Also, there’s this ... “ I was one of the lucky few to be invited for treatment. Because the drug hasn’t been extensively tested in humans, there’s quite a significant informed consent and intake process. “

The COVID jabs were advertised as the best thing since sliced bread early on; however, they are now the “clot shots” and large numbers of people are suffering adverse effects, disability & death by the jabs that were not extensively tested in humans. He may find out that TPOXX is a similar drug - great now ...but not so great in the long run.

Last but not least, he also found out he has an STD that’s being passed around along with the Pox. Yuck.

I’m waiting for him and/or his partner to come down with it.
They have a baby too, don’t they?

And I thought 8 years of Obama was bad…

I knew the CDC had put out guidance around who should be considered for treatment, and that included people who had anorectal lesions, lesions in the throat and dermatological conditions, which I did.

This guy says he's from Sweden and touts how EU has approved that TROXX drug for general use already. Times were in this country when foreigners would be deported for behavior like this twit apparently does all the time it seems. Gonorrhea, Monkey pox in both ends and lesions everywhere. Nope, these wantonly promiscuous homos want to raw-dog everything. That's how AIDS got a foothold in the 80s. They never learn.

And yet the media and the CDC is telling us all along that monkey pox is the next pandemic for us all staying far away from saying its a male gay disease afflicting male gays for fear of offending so they lumped us all in together and will be handing out monkey pox vaccines for the masses
