CNN’s Dr. Wen: ‘It’s Time for the U.S. to Declare a State of Emergency’ for Monkeypox
Breitbart ^ | August 1, 2022 | TRENT BAKER

Posted on 08/01/2022 9:30:03 AM PDT by gattaca

Monday on “CNN Newsroom,” network medical analyst Dr. Leana Wen called on the United States to “declare a state of emergency” over the monkeypox outbreak.

Last week, the World Health Organization advised gay and bisexual men to reduce their number of sexual partners “for the moment” to prevent the spread of the virus.

Wen said declaring a state of emergency would “allow the Biden administration to appoint a monkeypox czar” and allow for more resources to be put into combatting the spread.

It could’ve been easily contained, now it’s loose forever and will be become a common STD.

And it’s not going to remain a homosexual thing.

Kids have already contracted it.

This is a huge failure on the part of Joseph Robinette Biden.

Unlike any other sexually transmitted disease, there are vaccines to prevent it. What worries me is that it is a zoonosis. I worry about it getting into wild animals where it is impossible to prevent its spread. I'm afraid we might have to start vaccinating our pets just as we have to vaccinate them against Rabies.

The commie lefties do all their dirt piece by piece and America has been a free country.. the busy younger adults don’t realize what is going on soon enough.

If a dictator suddenly came on the news and demanded guns, your home, your allegiance
..you’d get upset ...
Buy that is what they are doing..
We are where we are today because they have been getting by piece by piece.

Justice is failing this country and no one is doing a thing to stop them.. if they take our lack as acceptance.. the end results will be devastating.

Why the emergency? MONKEY POX isn’t fatal.

If you’re not playing for the wrong team — or associating with those who do — you have almost zero to fear from monkeypox.

Below is what appears to be an another attempt to make CDC more powerful and dangerous to us.

Pfizer board member predicts monkeypox will become a ‘public health failure’

Pfizer board member predicts monkeypox will become a ‘public health failure’

Pfizer Board member, Dr. Scott Gottlieb, warned that the United States lacks federal infrastructure capable of handling public health emergencies such as monkeypox.

“Now if monkeypox has gained a permanent foothold in the United States and becomes an endemic virus that joins our circulating repertoire of pathogens, it would be one of the worst public health failures in modern times.” , not only because of the pain and distress of the disease, but also because it was so avoidable,” the former Food and Drug Administration chief wrote and op-ed for new York Times, “Our flaws extend beyond political decision-making to the agencies tasked with protecting us from these threats.”

Gottlieb claimed that the United States did not test enough people for the virus, which is spreading through gay men, in the early part of the outbreak, while the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) soon Commercial laboratories should have been used. It wasn’t until June that the CDC expanded to use those labs, he said.

information free Monkeypox, which has caused no deaths outside Africa in a recent outbreak, has infected nearly 5,200 people in the United States as of Sunday, the CDC showed. Wyoming, Montana and Vermont are the only states that have not reported any cases so far.

Over the past several days, health departments in New York City and San Francisco declared the virus a public health emergency, allowing those municipalities to free up more money and resources. A few days ago, the head of the World Health Organization declared monkeypox a global public health emergency.

more information:

Of the CDC’s response, Gottlieb said, “its cultural tendency is to take a thoughtful approach when debating each decision.” “With Covid, the virus quickly froze. As with monkeypox, which spreads more slowly, usually through very close contact, the shortcomings of the CDC’s cultural approach are not yet as acute. But the drawback is the same.”

While the CDC should change course and refocus its core mission on outbreaks, Gottlieb said he believes that is unlikely to happen.

“Post-Covid, there is some opinion that public health agencies used flawed analysis and mis-assessed their advice,” Gottlieb wrote. “Ensuring a political consensus that the CDC needs to be more empowered to fulfill its mission—for example, invested with authority to compel reporting from states—is politically unattainable. “

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus last week Told Gay men are involved in 98 percent of monkeypox cases. Symptoms of monkeypox infection include fever, rash or chickenpox-like blisters and muscle aches.

Nonsense. The general population is not under any threat from Monkeypox and Monkeypox has both treatments and a vaccine and generally does not cause a life threatening issue for the infected persons. The facts do not meet a cause for any state of emergency.

No. We do not need an emergency because gay men cannot have control over themselves.

Zero deaths.* 99% of the population cannot get it. Behaviorally spread. Sure, why not a state of emergency?

*At least as of a few days ago.

2 years ago 80 year old ladies and guys were not allowed to go to church, due to Wu Flu.

Now it is hateful to say that the gay bath houses may want to close for a few weeks. Wake up America.

All gay people have to do is quarantine until there is a cure. It worked so well for Covid.

That’s right. Everyone who keeps the gay mexcans out of their bootyhole will be safe from the monkeypox.

Have they thought about what this will do to the reputation and dignity of the monkeys?

It looks like they've been working on it for some years now and while their initial results looked right out of the democrat/lgbt version of the Epstein catalog

http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/201904/02/WS5ca31228a3104842260b3fa3.html

it appears they've been successful in regaining the monkey's dignity... https://www.sci-nature.vip/2021/10/chinese-scientists-have-put-human-brain.html
