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

Posted on 05/23/2022 4:07:49 AM PDT by MtnClimber

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.

Malone continues to divert from and ignore the DoD’s heavy hand in gain-of-function work to make these viruses worse than ever.

But for now we don’t really know where it sits on the fear meter: Completely made up? Purposely spread but still a likely flame out other than for the panic generated? Tied to jabs already given? And/or, genuinely worsened, via spread or lethality.

Democrats cannot win elections without cheat-by-mail-in ballots and compliant RINO traitors.

That is all you need to know about where this is all headed.

Guess what ChiCom lab has been working (and publishing) on monkeypox.

"Efficient assembly of a large fragment of monkeypox virus genome as a qPCR template using dual-selection based transformation-associated recombination" (Virologica Sinica, February 28, 2022).

More information is in the National Pulse article, "The Infamous Wuhan Lab Recently Assembled Monkeypox Strains Using Methods Flagged For Creating ‘Contagious Pathogens"

The buzzword is close contact. This means sexual contact in the new vernacular. Mostly, fags are doing it again, but the disease is easier to spot due to skin poxing.

That assertion goes way back, but it was reportedly acquired through bushmeat.

That assertion goes way back . . .

Yes, back when it wasn't considered hate speech for 'Time Magazine' to do a story on green monkeys and the origins of GRID.

You might want to look at the child in the UK in the intensive care unit with monkey pox. It’s pretty good odds that child didn’t go to a gay orgy.

No chickenpox is a human herpes simplex virus. Monkeypox is a ortho class virus no cross immunity exists for those two. If you had a smallpox vaccine in the past some cross immunity exists 85% if it was recent enough to still carry antibodies. People who also were exposed to.cow pox or camel pox will carry cross immunity as well.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe that vaccination as a child does not prevent the virus from erupting as an adult in the form of shingles.

The Donkeypox variant needs to arrive over the summer.

You are correct - posting too soon after awakening.

However, having had the smallpox vax, as virtually everyone near my age, I remain unafraid.

You can bet Brandon is also immunized.

The Party of the 'Ratz can now add perpetual pandemics to their list of power plays that includes voter fraud, lies and riots.

Their motto seems to be; "If you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'!"

**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.**

I don’t have a time traveling phone booth, so I’ll have to wait another 7 months.

Neither I nor the National Pulse article claimed the scientific paper was about using the monkeypox virus in gain-of-function research. So there is nothing stated that needs to be “debunked.”

Besides, any ChiCom gain-of-function research with deadly viruses is likely to be classified and not published in the open scientific literature.

My apologies. There have been several articles posted to FR very recently screaming “gain of function” (Gateway Pundit and Alex Jones among them) citing the National Pulse as their source, tired of seeing that nonsense, I hastily made a wrong assumption.
