Biden admin considers declaring monkeypox a public health emergency after first reports of cases found in US children

The CDC is investigating the first two cases of monkeypox that have been identified in children in the US. One case is a toddler who is a resident of California. The other is an infant who is not a US resident.

Dr. Ashish Jha, the White House Covid response coordinator, said the Biden administration is considering declaring monkeypox a public health emergency that will help unlock federal financial assistance in response to the outbreak. This comes after the WHO declared monkeypox a global health emergency on Saturday, as well as pressure from Congress and the first confirmed cases of monkeypox in children in the US. "There’s no final decision on this that I’m aware of," Jha told reporters on Friday. "It’s an ongoing, but a very active conversation at HHS."

The CDC is investigating the first two cases of monkeypox that have been identified in children in the US The two cases are unrelated and probably the result of household transmission, the CDC said. One case is a toddler who is a resident of California. The other is an infant who is not a US resident.

So far, the US has shipped more than 300,000 doses of the monkeypox vaccine to city and state health departments, said Jha. The FDA is in the process of authorizing an additional 786,000 doses awaiting distribution in the US.

Currently, no deaths have been reported in the US, but more than 2,500 monkeypox cases have emerged so far across 44 states, according to the CDC. The largest outbreaks are in the densely populated areas of New York, California, Illinois, Florida, DC, and Georgia.

The Biden Administration has come under fire from Congress in their handling of the monkeypox outbreak. Fifty House Democrats wrote a letter to President Joe Biden this week, calling for the administration to declare a public health emergency.

Health experts have recently been debating whether monkeypox is now a sexually transmitted disease, as it is primarily spreading through skin-to-skin contact during sex. Men who have sex with men are at the highest risk of infection, but anyone can catch the virus through close physical contact. In most cases, recovery takes two to four weeks, but the virus causes lesions that can be very painful.

No way we have 2500 cases of monkey pox. they are trying to make this a big thing. It is not. Monkey Pox has been around for a century. It is easily treated. It is easily gotten rid of. Most people over 45 have been vaccinated. A bunch of slut gay men and boys are passing it like aids. The general population has little to worry about unless they have physical contact with these gay men and boys. The pedophiles are at it again.

And? Ironic that the majority of the current Monkeypox cases have been established to be between homosexuals tho? FR has a search feature that have a number of those articles and findings posted within FR.....like recently.

Yep- the cdc woman sure stuttered and stammered as she tried to explain that it was children who had contact with ‘two men who had sex with each other’ and were gay members.... or whatever she said.

Something isn’t right.

Poor child took it in the pooper. One doesn’t get “monkeypox” from casual contact.

:: mYou can get it thru casual contact and from inanimate objects ::

But that only gets on the surfaces or “casual contacts” because of butt-sex.
Don’t normalize rectal penetration. It is anything BUT normal.

Right... I guess it’s only a coincidence that 95% of the cases are from gay sex.

How many more health problems are going to infect the whole world because some people inside on going in through the exit.

And why would you want to...???? A nice entryway made for you with a gorgeous set of additional features?

Or a smelly, stinky other place... This is the main reason most guys do not have a ‘phobia’, we just want to puke.

Stating some thing is possible is not the same as being likely.

You are being intentionally deceptive and dishonest. I CAN WIN THE MEGA LOTTERY, however the chance of me winning is ridiculously low.

There are NUMEROUS medical studies in several countries clearly demonstrating gay sex is by far the single largest vector for spreading MonkyPox. So significant that the spread could have been stopped cold if the practice was stopped.

Why are you and for that matter so many others trying to hide this fact, all you are doing is harming more people!

“A Native American grandfather talking to his young grandson tells the boy he has two wolves inside of him struggling with each other.

The first is the wolf of peace, love and kindness. The other wolf is fear, greed and hatred.

Which wolf will win, grandfather? asks the young boy.

Whichever one you feed, said grandfather.”

If they can close synagogues and churches and restaurants, surely they can close gay bars, bathhouses, and public orgies.

Shut down gay hook up apps.

This is spread by promiscuous homosexual men.

If there is an emergency, this is the source.
