They say one of the first symptoms is a pounding sensation in your backside.

It’s hard to get monkey pox because you get it from a rash. And people normally do not touch each other unless you are “fill in the blank”.

That is NOT a “donkey”.

Orthopoxviruses are very large (for a virus) double-stranded DNA viruses which self-repair during replication.

They are about as far as possible from a single-stranded RNA virus (COVID, hepatitis C, influenza, HIV) which lack self-repair and which (therefore) mutate during replication all the time.

Smallpox changed very little if at all from Egyptian mummies to the last human case.

This MPOX isn’t a variant, but African villagers do not deposit the virus into each other’s throats and rectums, which is proving to produce what looks like a new disease - but with the same old virus.

He said the monkeypox virus mutates very slowly and that the last known precursor to this variant is so different that it could not have happened naturally, adding that there just wasn’t enough time for natural evolution to create the variant spreading right now.

That explains the Wuhan perfectly. Truth will out.

Sodomy stinks.

From the article:

... Haider explained that the monkeypox outbreak “can all be easily repurposed as a way to take control away from people, especially going into the midterm elections to try to get us to avoid going to the polls or to use mail-in voting rather than in-person voting.” He said it can also be sued as “an economic weapon.”

AMEN!

He also says we must not let the government take control like we did during the China Flu pandemic.

Given the limited fraction of the population generally susceptible to this virus, the more interesting question is what virus will magically show up before the 2024 election.

Glenn Beck does an update on monkeypox on his radio show.

The update has a woman singing “Monkeypox, Monkeypox” to the tune of the 1960’s TV series “Batman.”
