Monkeypox Could Be Used as Bioweapon

My whole point is, many Prairie Dogs and Gambian Rats were around the at least one Gambian Rat that was infected. These same animals have been spread out for at least 1 month and we are going to hear of more cases as word gets around about it. There are not any proven cases where it has spread from human to human as of yet. Any many of the suspected cases will probably turn out not to be Monkeypox.

I just got over a Brown Recluse Spider bite and it looked just like a monkeypox sore. You run a fever and also get a rash somewhat from Brown Recluse Spider Bites, so the point is not every sore or fever that pops up on someone is going to be monkeypox.

Tommy Thompson was also the guy who told us about Bob Stevens drinking from a North Carolina stream at the time of the anthrax.

Maybe he was confused - the editor really was drinking from the pond the FBI is draining?

Just kidding.

"People need to stop living in fear of possible bio-attacks, sure people should stay guarded, but do not let them sense the fear as fear alone lets them know they are winning.

To be honest I am kinda glad we now have seen monkeypox here, as all these years we have been reading how it kills people in Africa, but we had no proof of what it would do if came to America until now. I think these american cases of Monkeypox will prove that we can treat it and control it, even in people who have never been vacinated for any type of pox."


very well said. :)
