NYC Launches Monkeypox Shots — But Walk-in Demand Overwhelms Capacity

New York City began offering vaccination against monkeypox to at-risk groups on Thursday, as authorities scramble to contain a global outbreak.

But demand was so high, within hours of launching the program the city had to cut off walk-in appointments, and scheduled visits were already booked through early next week.

As opposed to the early days of COVID, when there was no effective treatment, there are already multiple vaccines that work against the orthopoxvirus that causes the ailment. Supply, however, is the question.

Some 30 people have tested positive for the virus in the city since early May, almost all of them men who have sex with men, and the number of cases has risen 60% in just the last week. In total, New York City represents more than 20% of all cases diagnosed nationwide.

I’m really trying to care, but my care-er won’t respond. Hey, what’s for dinner?!

[dforest]

Must be a helluvalotta um....well you know.

[Sacajaweau]

stop with the at risk group....they’re homosexuals...

[fwdude]

Exactly.

Just like AIDS and any of a host of sexual diseases, “anyone can contract Monkeypox,” but only homosexuals are contracting Monkeypox.

[Bikkuri]

Buncha queers up there...

[Jonty30]

If your spouse hasn’t given you any gifts that keep giving, and you are both faithful to each other, there is zero risk of anything.

[Sarcazmo]

Man I hope it stays that way.

And that ‘ol Sarcazmo doesn’t go to prison.

And if he does, doesn’t drop the soap.

Looks like “flyover” country is pretty much spared. Strangely it’s the sodomized coasts and several states with large sodomite urban populations which are affected. California most acutely.

But Walk-in Demand Overwhelms Capacity

Seem they're all anxious to get poked

[fwdude]

I don’t get this. They’re all at “high risk“ and know they’re at “high risk“, but they become indignant when we call them high risk.

[Track9]

They must think sodomy is worth getting monkeypox or they’d just abstain. Tell me that’s not an indication of mental illness.

[fwdude]

The needless 40-year AIDS epidemic is proof positive that they are mentally ill.

[Track9]

There’s a pattern with people doing high risk behavior. They end up taking communal comfort in the emotional anxiety. Later they play the victim card.

[Rdct29]

Next we will hear about Meth parties where gay men have unprotected sex for the thrill of possibly catching monkeypox.

"orthopoxvirus"

Does the Ortho "Dial and Spray" sprayer eradicate Ortho Pox Virus? Or does it accelerate the spraying of the disease fluids in certain, uh, "communities."

Poor Ortho, Inc. It's like being Corona Beer during the pandemic.

[EvilCapitalist]

Kansas City Faggots.

[EvilCapitalist]

Isn’t that what the former Democrat candidate for Governor of Florida did?

[EvilCapitalist]

I see what you did there.

[Clutch Martin]

Get onboard with your pridepox vaccine today!

(I admit I nicked “pridepox” from a Freeper, but wow - what a descriptor!)
