Most Americans are not worried about personally experiencing monkeypox in the United States, despite the U.S. declaring a state of emergency over the illness, a survey from The Economist/YouGov found.
“Taking into consideration both your risk of contracting it and the seriousness of the illness, how worried are you personally about experiencing monkeypox?” the survey asked respondents.
Most, 67 percent, said they are not worried about personally experiencing monkeypox, and of those, 31 percent are “not worried at all.” Just over one-third said they are at least somewhat worried, but only 11 percent said they are “very worried.”
Most Republicans and independents, 80 percent and 70 percent, respectively, indicate little to no worry. Forty-seven percent of Democrats, however, are at least somewhat worried.
Respondents were also asked how they view Biden’s handling of monkeypox, with 31 percent expressing approval and 35 percent disapproving.
The survey follows the U.S. declaring monkeypox a public health crisis.
“We’re prepared to take our response to the next level in addressing this virus, and we urge every American to take monkeypox seriously and to take responsibility to help us tackle this virus,” Health and Human Services secretary Xavier Becerra said.
The U.S. has 9,492 confirmed cases of monkeypox, per the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) but according to reports, the vast majority of cases are among men who have sex with men.
The declaration coincides with cities, such as San Francisco and New York City, and states, such as Illinois and California, declaring monkeypox an emergency.
“The Monkeypox Virus is a rare, but potentially serious disease that requires the full mobilization of all available public health resources to prevent the spread,” Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker said in a statement, announcing his state of emergency last week:

Maybe monkey pox isn’t a “gay disease” but it sure seems like it and the media isn’t exactly explaining how to avoid it (like they did with Covid). So people aren’t too worried about it.
Garland has the Monkeypops! Garland has the Monkeypops!

If what the liberal media tries to get us to believe that homosexuals are 50% of the population wouldn’t that number be way higher?.......weird
Most people understand that if you don’t have promiscuous homosexual sex, you are not at risk.
Indeed. The “majority” actually possess some scientific logic, which can be summed up as, “We’re not using the goezoutta hole as a cumzinta hole, so the probability of us getting schlong-pox is as equally small as is the FBI’s trustworthyness.”
Just wear a mask,
They are called ‘BVD’s!’
The answer is the same as in the 70s. Quarantine the poofters and let nature take its course.
Maybe it isn’t monkeypox.
Why are so many taking Deep State’s word for what this is?!
Heard it only affects people who are gay, but very few are happy, joyful, or gay these miserable days.
Putting my tin foil hat on,,but just maybe the elites are killing the gays? Same as Germany did?https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/gay-men-under-the-nazi-regime
Majority aren’t having homo sex. Majority don’t go for any port in a storm, male or female. Majority will be just fine.
Buttholes are meant for one way transmission.
“Same as Germany did?”
That thought has occurred to me. The alphabet community does not seem to notice.
I think the media wants to obscure the fact that certain risky behavior is essentially the only way to get that disease. Most people know they aren’t at risk anyway.
lol
June: Pride/faqqot month.
July: Massive monkeypox outbreak.
Media scum in August: Look at all those squirrels over there!
1 way for human waste. Yep.
