We let Monkeypox spread too long …

… Monkeypox, which causes a rash and fever and is fatal in a very small percentage of cases, isn’t nearly as transmissible as Covid-19. But unlike the novel coronavirus, it spreads easily to and from certain animal populations — rodents in particular.

If the pox currently circulating in the U.S. spreads to rats, hamsters, or gerbils, and becomes endemic in those species, there might be no easy way to contain it. “I do share the other scientists’ concern of containment and the virus becoming endemic in our U.S. rodent population,” sys Stephanie James, the head of a viral testing lab at Regis University in Colorado…

The larger of the current outbreaks began in early May, apparently triggered by a U.K. traveler’s exposure to an infected person or animal in Nigeria. Hitching a ride to Europe, the virus spread quickly through close physical contact. David Heymann, who formerly headed the World Health Organization’s emergencies department, said that men attending raves in Spain and Belgium “amplified” the outbreak — apparently through kissing and rubbing skin.

After that, the virus accompanied travelers on planes heading for countries far and wide. By June 2, the WHO had tallied 780 pox cases in 27 countries. The case count since has swelled to around 1,400. Health officials diagnosed the first U.S case on May 27.

As of Friday, 49 Americans in 16 states plus Washington, D.C. had the pox. The CDC suspects some of those cases are the result of an earlier outbreak that officials didn’t even notice until the later outbreak caused them to go back and take a closer look at some patients’ symptoms. …

Hamsters and gerbils are not native to the US...

I submit that we didn’t let it spread long enough.

So it means people who live in or travel to certain parts of Africa should be vaccinated against Smallpox.

Well, it’s Pride Month, so we’ll need to wait another 3 weeks.

Raves definition: a lively party or gathering involving dancing and drinking.

don’t let monkeypox distract from the covid stuff that is finally coming out.

13 June: news.com.au: ‘Outright lying’: Australian scientist hits out at TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) after ‘life-changing’ covid vaccine injury
A man left unable to work for eight months after his Covid jab says thousands are suffering “life-changing” neurological symptoms he dubs “long vax”.
by Frank Chung
“I’m similar to thousands of Aussies. After the vaccine I had a huge constellation of symptoms from head to toe,” the 46-year-old said, describing it as similar to “mutant long Covid”.
“The worst has been an oppressive brain fog. I’ve had headaches, chest pains, abdominal pains, unbelievable muscle twitching, issues focusing my vision. Basically I’ve been unable to work for eight months. I’m only now just starting to feel a little bit normal. This is not a mild side effect – this has been life-changing.”...

He received his first Pfizer dose on October 19 last year and his second on November 9. He had a bad reaction to both “within hours”, but says the second was “dramatically off the charts”.
“I waited a little while (to take the vaccine) – I work with technology and have a science background, so I understood that with a new product, new technology, there could be some things we don’t know about,” he said.
“I thought, enough time has passed, surely our government would have flagged any reactions of concern. I took it and all this stuff happened to me. It’s not a matter of it being a coincidence – it all happened within hours of the shots. Then I thought, surely the government would be interested in what’s happened to me? Nope.”...

When he went searching for answers, he found “hundreds of people” in online groups who had experienced similar symptoms and submitted reports themselves.
“The TGA still claims there is nothing to see,” he said...

The Covid-19 vaccine claims scheme allows people to claim a one-off payment ranging from $1000 to $20,000 for lost wages or other expenses if they suffer a bad reaction, and in cases of death the family may be able to claim funeral costs.
But the scheme has been criticised by legal experts and victims as overly complex and narrowly targeted towards a very limited number of ***officially recognised adverse effects...

***officially recognised adverse effects - THAT IS WHERE THE PROBLEM LIES...and from what I understand it’s the same in the US and elsewhere.

...and native US animals like groundhogs aren’t involved in gay sex... maybe they are worried about the native California fudgepackrats?

Does Monkeypox make the gerbils rainbow colored?

(BTW, sodomites, the rainbow doesn't belong to you, it belongs to God as a promise to those who belong to Him).

Men. Huh, just men. Kissing and rubbing skin. They're hinting at something here but I just can't put my finger on it...

I'm pretty suspicious that gerbils and hamsters did play a quite significant role in the spread of monkey pox in monkey po infection’s primary demographic - the more perverse elements of the queer community.
