MONKEYPOX vs CHICKENPOX

Monkeypox is a viral zoonosis (a virus transmitted to humans from animals) with symptoms similar to those seen in the past in smallpox patients, although it is clinically less severe.

As per the doctors, Monkeypox usually starts with fever, malaise, headache, sometimes sore throat and cough, and lymphadenopathy (swollen lymph nodes). All these symptoms appear four days before skin lesions, rashes, and other problems which primarily start from the hand and eyes and spread to the whole body.

Apart from skin involvement, there are other symptoms too in the case of monkeypox, but it is always better to consult a doctor to dispel any doubts.

Dr Satish Koul, Director, Internal Medicine, Fortis Memorial Research Institute said, "In Monkeypox, the lesions are bigger than Chickenpox. In monkeypox, the lesions are seen on palms and soles. In Chickenpox, lesions are self-limiting after seven to eight days but not so in Monkeypox. The lesions are vesicular and itchy in Chicken pox. In Monkeypox, the lesions are broad vesicular and non-itchy."

Koul also said the duration of fever is longer in Monkeypox and such a patient has enlarged lymph nodes.

According to Dr SCL Gupta, medical director of Batra Hospital, the main sign of the Monkeypox virus is "rashes on the body which have liquids inside". This leads to a viral infection which weakens the body's resistance, he added.

"In case, any bacterial infection gets pusses and leads to blisters leading further complication into the body," Dr Gupta said.

If someone had Chickenpox, can they also get infected from Monkeypox?

Doctors have also received queries that whether previous Chickenpox infection makes a patient immune to Monkeypox, to which the answer is an emphatic no.

Can you get monkeypox by sharing the same gerbil? Like druggies getting hepatitis from sharing needles. This whole mess seems centered around stupid behavior. What about legal issues? Think of lawsuits because party A borrowed party B’s gerbil. This is complicated crap.

Most people have had chicken pox or been vaccinated with a vaccine that actually works.

Monkeypox is not related to chicken pix but is related to smallpox.

This of us over 50 or so ha been vaccinated against smallpox which also protects against Monkeypox.

Would one of those symptoms not mentioned be a pain in the rectum?

Simple.
If you’re a 7-year-old child, it’s chickenpox.
If you’re ass is still leaking from the wild homosexual orgy last week, it’s monkeypox.

If this was 1970 that would be true. However there have been children adopted by gay men come down with MP, sooo well you know. Seems they had their kids at the gay orgy.

I’m aware of reports that 2 kids had gotten monkeypox. But I’ve seen the demographics of several thousand victims, and the youngest listed is 18. I’m sure those 2 kids existed, and were simply not in whatever population was demographically broken down, but I’m not sure it’s any more than 2 kids.

Why are we assuming that Deep State is telling us the truth about this being monkeypox...?

Anyone...?

Despite the name, chickenpox is not even in the same family of viruses as monkeypox, smallpox, cowpox, camelpox, etc.

Chickenpox is caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), which is a member of the Herpesviridae family. Monkeypox is caused by an orthopox virus of the Poxviridae family.

They really should have mentioned this in the article.

Homo sex: monkey pox.
No homo sex: chicken pox.
So simple a small child can figure it out.

I posted the story about the two kids getting MP. Yes their parents were homo. I’m not sure about the other kids that were reported after that, I did not post that story, I was just too sickened by all of it.
