Monkeypox cases dropping, but racial disparities growing
The Associated Press ^ | September 7, 2022 | By AMANDA SEITZ

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House said Wednesday it’s optimistic about a decline in monkeypox cases and an uptick in vaccinations against the infectious virus, despite worsening racial disparities in reported cases.

Promising to ramp up vaccination offerings at LGBTQ Pride festivals around the country in the coming weeks, Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, the deputy coordinator of the White House national monkeypox response, said more than 460,000 doses have been given.

The U.S. leads the world with infections — as of Tuesday 20,733 cases had been reported — with men accounting for about 98% of cases and men who said they had recent sexual contact with other men about 93% of cases.

While cases in white men have dropped in recent weeks, Black people are making up a growing percentage of infections — nearly 38% during the final week of August, according to the latest data available. In the early weeks of the monkeypox outbreak, Black people made up less than a quarter of reported cases.

Latinos are also disproportionately infected, making up nearly a third of infections in recent weeks.

That trend means that public health messaging and vaccines are not effectively reaching those communities, said Dr. Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security.

“That tells you there needs to be a major recalibration in your interventions,” Adalja said. “It’s not as impactful as it should be.”

The Biden administration has struggled since the beginning with its response to the outbreak when it was first identified in May.

Joe Biden is one very sick twisted person.
He has gays and transvestites and pedophiles like himself in the gov’t.

Promiscuous white gay men had their group sex on vacation and in largely white orgy clubs. Promiscuous black and Hispanic men had to wait for college to start back up again for their opportunities to be promiscuous started up again so they could get some monkeypox. The gays are racist. There, I solved it.

****

hUH? The faggots already had an entire MONTH to declare their pooftery, and there’s still more?? It wasn’t enough?

That's what I thought but we had a "Pride week" last month in Austin. I don't think it's "pride" at all. It's arrogance.

The adults around every infected child need to be thoroughly investigated.

Whoa! It is still 98% men getting monkeypox. Homosexuals kept saying that declaring monkeypox an STD would “hurt” sex fiends, because STD has a bad rep. They kept screaming that monkeypox wasn’t primarily spread by sex. I kept reading syphilis ain’t only spread by sex. If monkeypox isn’t mainly spread by sex, why is it still endemic among homosexuals? Plus, why doesn’t everybody infected get butt pox? Flipping demonic homosexuals.
