As Monkeypox Spread in New York, 300,000 Vaccine Doses Sat in Denmark

NEW YORK — On the Thursday before Pride Weekend last month, hundreds of men dropped what they were doing and raced to a city-run health clinic in Manhattan. Finally, more than a month after monkeypox appeared in the city, a vaccine was being made available to sexually active gay and bisexual men, among whom the virus was rapidly spreading.

But there was a catch: There were only 1,000 doses available. Within two hours, the only clinic offering the shots began turning people away.

At that same moment, about 300,000 doses of a ready-to-use vaccine owned by the United States sat in a facility in Denmark. U.S. officials had waited weeks as the virus spread in New York and beyond before deciding to ship those doses to the United States.

Even then, there was little apparent urgency: The doses were flown piecemeal, arriving in shipments spread out over more than a week. Many didn’t arrive until this month, more than six weeks after the first case was identified in New York City.

By holding back the doses, an early opportunity to contain or slow the largest monkeypox outbreak in the country appears to have slipped by. On Saturday, the World Health Organization declared monkeypox a global health emergency. At least 16,000 cases have been reported around the world, with about 3,000 in the United States. Infections in New York City make up nearly one-third of the national case count.

“Infections in New York City make up nearly one-third of the national case count.”

Let’s see how the mediacrats blame Donald Trump.

The way to stop “The Minkey Pox” is simple and involves no injection of serum, at all.
As a matter of fact, it involves “not injecting” a serum.

So, stop putting your D*** on other men’s A**ses and playing with their SH*T.

Easy.

Nothing new. As New Orleans citizens drowned during Hurricane Katrina...Dem leadership allowed school buses to sit idle (and flood) rather than being used to evacuate said drowning citizens...

They’ll recommend putting a mask on your butt.

“Finally, more than a month after monkeypox appeared in the city, a vaccine was being made available to sexually active gay and bisexual men, among whom the virus was rapidly spreading.”

Maybe they should have stopped being quite so “active”.

Previous outbreaks were easily contained without vaccines. But they did not involve a certain highly promiscuous segment of the gay population, so ... it looks a bit different this time around.

Now they are demanding the government provide them vaccines so they can continue to be active without fear of the pox. How about telling them “two weeks to flatten the curve”? It might actually work with monkeypox. But no, they could never go two whole weeks without engaging in risky encounters with multiple strangers.

Instead of whipping out a shabbily produced “NYC Just Got Nuked - But You Got This!” PSA, they could have made a more helpful “Your Winkie Just Got Monkey Warts From Homo Sex - Butt You Got This!” PSA.

I don’t care anymore about these fudge packers.

We have warned them and warned them about how dirty and dangerous their perversion is, but they insist on continuing.

Reap what you sow and all that.

What does this monkeypox do exactly? I have not been following, so have no idea. Is anyone dying from it?

“U.S. officials had waited weeks as the virus spread in New York “

Correction: Biden’s U.S. officials had waited weeks as the virus spread in New York
