Biden seems to want monkeypox to be the next pandemic
American Thinker ^ | 23 May, 2022 | Andrea Widburg

The world population checks in at just a little under 7.9 billion people. Of that number, Europe has identified 100 cases of monkeypox and the United States has identified...two cases (out of a population of roughly 330 million people). Nevertheless, Joe Biden is already hard at work ratcheting up the fear. Based on the information available, though, we probably don’t need to worry and this should not turn into a government power grab, complete with election control.

Preliminarily, Dr. Robert Malone has written a great post about monkeypox (“Truth versus Fearporn”), from which I’ve gleaned a lot of my facts about the disease. Let’s start with what monkeypox is: It’s a variola virus that is related to smallpox, as well as to cowpox (which led to Edward Jenner investing the first true vaccination), and other animal poxes. Like the animal poxes, it’s not very serious for humans.

Essentially, as cowpox did to those long ago milkmaids, monkeypox makes people have the same symptoms as smallpox, only more mildly. The illness is also contagious only through person-to-person contact, which means that classic quarantining and contact tracing work to stop its spread. Symptomatic people are isolated while health agencies find their contacts, and that’s kind of the end of it. No lockdowns and changes to voting required.

Further lowering the risk of monkeypox is the fact that it’s a double-stranded DNA virus. Those double strands slow mutations, which means that immunity, once acquired is good for a long, long time. Those who have been vaccinated against, or had, any of the other poxes, are almost certainly resistant to monkeypox.

“Seems to?!” They’d bring on the black plague to win in November.

Dr. Robert Malone is awesome. If you haven’t seen his 12/31/22 Joe Rogan interview, you should. And yes, I mean all 3 hours.

And his other SubStack writings are worth exploring.

A pandemic or a war, I don’t think Biden’s handlers care which one it is. Either will do.

Monkey pox seems to be a sickness related to behavior of homosexuals. I am not affected.

Here is what I think Fauci learned during his decades of work with AIDS - these people are great disease carriers and spreaders. This seems to be how he is using his knowledge.

I wonder if monkey pox originated from human sexual contact with a green monkey?

Wow, people of my age have been vaccinated for smallpox and/or have had Chicken Pox.

Must be going after the remaining breeding stock.

Calling them DemonRatz is a bit too kind.

Biden regards pustules as perfect companions.

More lock downs, mail in ballots and drop boxes!

The reservoir is thought to be rodents in Western and Central Africa (rope squirrels, Gambian rats, etc.). Monkeys and people can catch it, too, but are not primary hosts. Human cases in Africa are mainly associated with “bushmeat”.

There was an outbreak in the US in 2003 that originated from wild-caught African rodents imported for the pet trade:


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.

As I posted the other day; the “k” in “monkey pox” is silent.

They’re already lying by not noting this is a gay male STD.

And that closing the bath houses and sodomite festivals — just for a little while, a month — would stop this disease spread.

Unlike Covid, it generally takes direct contact — most commonly sex.

The fact they won’t take this obvious first step is proof they are bad actors.

Probably eating the monkey.

Handling Bush meat (the African equivalent of whatever Cajuns eat) is the most common originating cause.

It it then spreads by direct contact and bodily fluids.

Of course. The Democrats and their henchpersons are already hyping it.

The Democrats HATE the USA. They consider it an evil, racist, nazi nation that must be destroyed, and they are perfectly happy to exploit the destruction of America for their personal wealth and advantage.

The destruction of the USA is the overriding objective of the cabal that controls the Democrat Party and Biden's puppet-strings.

Biden is their figurehead. So was Obama. Biden is a fool, which is exactly what they want, a fool who will say and do anything they want.

The refusal of many Americans, including many Democrats, to believe this is one of the cabal's most powerful weapons to use against them and the USA. Those who refuse to believe this are the cabal's useful idiots.

Once this is understood, everything else is also understood.

In just a few days it went from one case in Massachussetts to “everybody’s got to be afraid.”

I guess they’ve milked Ukraine for all it was worth, to shift the blame for biden’s failures on to putin. Monkeypox will keep us afraid for a few weeks at least, and then they will spring another “crisis” on us. But the big one will be for after Labor Day, when the kids are back in school, the beach blankets are put away, and everyone starts thinking about the election.

Good luck with a virus that is not airborne. No way that gets any traction.

Despite the name, the chickenpox virus belongs to a different virus family (herpes family), so no help there. Monkeypox is from thepox family. It’s related to other orthopox viruses such as smallpox and cowpox, and the smallpox vaccine does confer some immunity.

The reason there have been growing numbers cases presenting at increasingly older ages over the past decades in Africa is thought to be the growing population of younger people born after smallpox vaccination ceased. Back in the 1970s it was a disease of very small children. Now the median age is around 21.

Isn’t it interesting this comes along just in time for the midterms.
