Monkeypox infecting some women and children in WA as outbreak spreads
Seattle Times ^ | 8/25/22 | Elise Takahama

Posted on 08/27/2022 2:36:33 AM PDT by Libloather

A King County infant has become infected with the monkeypox virus as the outbreak grows in Washington, prompting public health leaders to again remind medical providers of possible symptoms and call attention to the seriousness of the disease.

While the threat of infection to the general public remains low, the pediatric case serves as the latest reminder that while the current outbreak has spread primarily among men who have sex with men, anyone can become sick, state Secretary of Health Dr. Umair A. Shah said Thursday morning.

This week, Public Health – Seattle & King County said three of the county’s monkeypox patients identify as cisgender women, including one who might have been exposed through sex. A 17-year-old also tested positive for monkeypox earlier this month, according to the state Department of Health.

“This continues to be an outbreak we’re monitoring very closely,” Shah said. “We must continue to remember this is a contact-based virus. It is not limited to any community and while it is disproportionately affecting the LGBTQ+ community, anyone anywhere can be at risk.”

The King County infant is currently hospitalized, though they are stable and receiving treatment, according to King County’s public health department. The child was likely exposed to monkeypox through an infected family member and not through school, child care or another public setting, the department said.

Public health officials declined to share further information about the pediatric case for privacy reasons.

It is an STD. Now figure out how the infant got it.

You can bet this is predictable ‘fall out’ from their recent pseudo Woodstock, ‘love-in’, disguised as political demonstrations and which drew the disaffected, social debris from across America...like a magnet!

Ya had to saw this coming

Maybe the queers are wiping the pox pus on publicly touched surfaces, to spread it to straights. The way they were donating blood when AIDS was new, for that reason. Because if straights get it funds for research will flow more readily.

I heard that from a homosexual activist being interviewed back in about 1980.

I think “cisgender” means that you identify as what you were born as. So the doctor called you a boy 30 years ago you are still identify as a male.

I always thought it was more of a derogatory term. I guess it might be if a trans person uses it.

“Well - you’re a cis so you wouldn’t understand!”

They use “cisgender” so they won’t have to use the word “normal.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh... is that what it means? I refuse to learn how they are defining any of these stupid terms for that very reason and I absolutely will refuse to use them... to put a name to something and to define it is to normalize it. It perhaps didn’t start with the word ‘gay’ but that is one word that has been eradicated out of my lexicon. If they want to ‘normalize it’, they will do it without my help....

“Cisgender,” means normal.

Ok, thanks. I am going to need a score card to know the players.

Some science journal posted an article t’other day that said monkeypox is STD. We know homosexuals refuse to take responsibility for their actions, but the rest of us ain’t worried

For everyone taking Deep State's word for this being monkeypox, some food for thought....

while the current outbreak has spread primarily among men who have sex with men, anyone can become sick after close contact with faggots. Exactly how did the fags transmit the buggery-pox to children?

Hell of way to find out your significant other is on the “Down-Low”.

I know two women who married closet fags ... one found out the hard way (STD), the other found out the less hard way (forensic evidence). Both immediately filed for divorce. That has to be exceptionally disgusting.

Why are so many taking Deep State’s word for what this is and how it spreads?

You keep saying this.

What do you think it is? How do you think it spreads?

Don't be shy, now ...

I don’t know.

Could be monkeypox.

Could be vaxx related cases.

Might be adverse events caused by the vaxxes and not monkeypox at all.

What I do know is that I’m not prepared to take Deep State’s word for what this is.

Are you?

Could be any number of things ... but the pustules shown on Big Media don't look like shingles, chickenpox, or herpes ... they do look smallpox-ish.

It's possible that the pictures are fake. You can fake almost anything ... Just have to go with what seems most likely.

In any case, thanks for the clear, up-front answer.

I'll go with "monkey-pox" until I see evidence to the contrary.

I'll also go with "it's a homosexually transmitted disease" until I see evidence to the contrary.

If you find such evidence, please post it.

BTW, for reference: I believed the “COVID is a huge deadly pandemic” for about 2 weeks. Evidence that we were being lied to built up very quickly.
