Too soon for November. When does Donkeypox arrive on the scene?
“Everybody’s got somethin’ to hide, ‘cept for me and my monkey.”
You can only contract it through gay sex with baby gorillas or if you recently compromised your immune system by manipulation of RNA and spike proteins
Next Batlon Bee story: The BiteMe admin sets up an FBI task force to stop the sex trafficking of monkeys.
The msm dance all around that fact though, and instead jusy leave it at “spread by intimate contact” as though everyone who has relations of any kind is in danger. Listening to Newsmax yesterday, whenever monkeypox was discussed, they omitted the fsct that mostly the bay community are the ones spreading it.
The second coming of AIDS.
Conservatives should start calling the Monkey Pox, GRIDS.
“So it’s just another venereal disease?”
They would like people to think that. It is more selective.
