Almost 90% of mpox-related deaths in the United States were among Black men, and nearly all had weakened immune systems, according to a new report from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

From May 2022 to March 2023, 30,235 people in the US were diagnosed with mpox, previously known as monkeypox. Thirty-eight deaths were linked to mpox; 36 of them were men, and 33 were Black men. The average age of those who died was 34.

Mpox spreads through close contact, and it can infect anyone. during the 2022 outbreak, infections were mostly among gay or bisexual men or other men who have sex with men.

This is what you get from journalism "school":
Mpox spreads through close contact, and it can infect anyone.
It's like saying that anyone can die from jumping out of an airplane without a parachute.

Hmmmm...weakened immune systems. Perhaps due to too many Twinkies?

Gay Black men. So really a super super minority of minorities.

These are two of the most important democrat voting blocks... THEIR ISSUES ARE THE COUNTRY'S ISSUES BECAUSE ONLY DEMOCRATS MATTER IN THIS BIRTHING POLICE STATE.

Good point. We need to encourage more monkeypox as that will result in less stupid voters.

“...or other men who have sex with men.”

Normally that would be redundant, but these days, “they” could be XX people who transitioned to trans-male but like guys. Probably a small group, but nonetheless ...

Enveloped by paralyzing fear, I have yet to visit a bath house, or a zoo, since the onset of the monkey pox PANDEMIC. *choke*

This has been one more mindless story which serves to distract from the onslaught of Marxism into America.

No, we don’t want anyone being diseased.

What we want are the institutions we pay to support being honest about crime, about disease and about the state of the Union.

We don’t need ‘the elites’ to lie about everything because they’re the scum of the earth and are paid well to be the scum of the earth. ON THE TAXPAYERS DIME.

Isn’t an idiot like VP Harris enough? Weren’t the lies about Trump enough? Wasn’t the twisted protection of Hunter enough? Or the weirdness and BS of the CDC on covid?

What?

Remember it’s democrat voters who commit the murders, who lie about the origins of diseases like covid - who use police state tactics against political opponents.

NOT US.

We don’t need to be like the scum of the earth party.

Ok, let’s see how well that moral high horse works while you’re in the gulag.
