The Biden administration has again declared a national ‘public health emergency’ — this time, over monkeypox. As of August 2nd, there have been no monkeypox deaths in the United States and fewer than ten deaths reported worldwide. President Biden’s health secretary Xavier Becerra declared the monkeypox outbreak a ‘national health emergency,’ a once-rare designation that has become a political weapon for elected leaders who want to obviate the law or implement unconstitutional measures. Last week, the World Health Organization declared a global health emergency over the outbreak. The Biden administration’s declaration of the ‘national health emergency’ will authorize federal agencies...

Dems are trying to kill off the gays again by spreading disease.

A Fox News panel went ape-crazy after a guest suggested that men should stay away from gay orgies if they don’t want to get monkeypox.In a segment focusing on the spread of monkeypox, three panel members – including the Fox News host, Kennedy Montgomery – slammed American Majority CEO Ned Ryun as a “bigot” for daring to point out that more than nine out of 10 cases of monkeypox are contracted by men having sex with men.“As for monkeypox, I think there’s a pretty good rule in life: Don’t attend gay orgies,” Ryun said.“When you look at the New England...

New York City Mayor Declares Monkeypox State of Emergency. Mayor Eric Adams of New York City issued an emergency executive order Monday declaring a local state of emergency due to the monkeypox outbreak. Mayor adds: "This order will bolster our existing efforts to educate, vaccinate, test, and treat as many New Yorkers as possible and ensure a whole-of-government response to this outbreak." Notice the point is to use a vaccine, again. Remember how that turned out last time?

Monday on “CNN Newsroom,” network medical analyst Dr. Leana Wen called on the United States to “declare a state of emergency” over the monkeypox outbreak. Last week, the World Health Organization advised gay and bisexual men to reduce their number of sexual partners “for the moment” to prevent the spread of the virus. Wen said declaring a state of emergency would “allow the Biden administration to appoint a monkeypox czar” and allow for more resources to be put into combatting the spread.

SNIP "It is nothing I would ever wish on anybody," warned Chicago resident Josh Watson. On the first day of his illness "I woke up with a sore throat, which I didn't think too much about," the 33-year-old said. "But by the afternoon my lymph nodes were sore, I noticed a lesion forming on the roof of my mouth, and my throat was worse." By Monday morning, Watson was suffering severe headaches and body aches, "and I had another lesion show up on my chin, and one down in my pubes at the base of my penis." "After I was...

Tucker Carlson has been accused of homophobia and being cruel after joking about changing the name of monkeypox. On his Thursday night show, the Fox News host joked about the decision to change the name of the disease as cases continue to be concentrated among the gay community. In early June, a group of scientists, many based in Africa, issued a position paper calling for a name change for the disease to avoid the negative impact it was having on people from different communities. "We propose a novel classification of MPXV (Monkeypox Virus) that is non-discriminatory and non-stigmatizing and aligned...

The annual Up Your Alley leather and fetish fair is expected to go on this weekend in San Francisco’s SoMa area, despite widespread concerns about the spread of monkeypox and the city’s decision to declare a state of emergency.

The World Health Organization on Wednesday recommended that gay and bisexual men limit their number of sexual partners to protect themselves from monkeypox and help slow transmission of the rapidly spreading virus. The WHO’s monkeypox expert, Rosamund Lewis, said men who have sex with men are the group at the highest risk of infection right now. About 99% of cases are among men, and at least 95% of those patients are men who have sex with men, Lewis said. WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said it is crucial for public health authorities to engage communities of men who have sex...

Monkeypox cases continue to rise in Minnesota and across the country. There are now 5,189 infections nationwide across all but three states. “I feel like I heard the word monkeypox and I got it and that’s how quickly it happened,” said Kyle Benter. “It’s spreading even faster now.” Benter has been battling the virus for about two weeks, after having contact with a friend who also later tested positive. “I actually got it from contact with literally one person,” said Benter. “A lot of people think its people out there having a ton of sex, touching a ton of people,...

VIDEOS AT LINK....................... The disease that has been spreading rapidly among homosexual men across the world is no longer to be called “Monkeypox.” The woke crowd declared that it’s too discriminatory or something, so they decided we need to change the name. Fox News host Tucker Carlson accepted their decision despite believing that “Monkeypox” is the “coolest name ever for a disease.” What he will not accept is letting the powers-that-be decide what to name it now. So, he did a poll, purely scientific and totally democratic. The new name for Monkeypox is “Schlong Covid.” Perfect. There’s no need for...

More than two months after the ongoing global monkeypox outbreak began, corporate media outlets are finally addressing the fact that gay men are most at risk of contracting the virus.Government agencies and healthcare authorities have already been prioritizing men who have sex with men in their monkeypox response. The U.S. allocated its first batch of vaccines to that group, and the World Health Organization (WHO) is recommending that gay men limit their number of partners to reduce risk. But some journalists were first preoccupied with addressing the “stigma” that could come from openly discussing that gay men are accountable for...

The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has written a letter to the World Health Organization asking it to change the name of the disease “monkeypox” because it “stigmatizes” gay men. The department may have a point. A recent New England Journal of Medicine paper concluded that 95% of monkeypox transmissions occurred “during sex between men.” Shouldn’t the New York City health department concentrate on stopping the spread of this disease instead of worrying whether the name of the disease might offend some easily-offended group?

The head of the World Health Organization has suggested that men who have sex with men temporarily limit their number of sexual partners while monkeypox cases increase within their community — a shift in messaging from the global health agency days after it raised its threat alert level for the monkeypox outbreak. WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus made the comments Wednesday during a news briefing in which he said 98 percent of monkeypox cases have been reported in men who have sex with men. Tedros said “this is an outbreak that can be stopped,” as long as governments take...

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The mayor of San Francisco announced a legal state of emergency Thursday over the growing number of monkeypox cases, allowing officials to mobilize personnel and resources and cut through red tape to get ahead of a public health crisis reminiscent of the AIDS epidemic that devastated the city. The declaration, which takes effect Monday, was welcomed by gay advocates who have grown increasingly frustrated by what they called San Francisco’s lackluster response to a virus that so far has affected primarily men who have sex with men, although anyone can get infected. The city has 261...

Gay and bisexual Latino men in Santa Clara County have been disproportionately affected by monkeypox, county health officials said Wednesday, making up more than half of the virus' local cases. The county has reported 39 total monkeypox cases, as of Wednesday. According to the county's Public Health Department, 21 of those cases have been among Hispanic or Latino residents.

(Translation) MIAMI — Since the beginning of the most recent monkeypox outbreak in May, about 20 countries in the Americas have reported over 5,000 cases, but mass vaccination is not recommended for now since the risk of infection among the general population is very low, the Pan American Health Organization [PAHO] said in a press conference today. Most cases have been detected in the United States, Canada, and Brazil among men who have sex with men and are between 25 and 45 years of age, PAHO said. However, it clarified that, for now, no deaths have been reported in the...

GENEVA (AP) — The head of the World Health Organization on Wednesday advised men at risk of catching monkeypox to consider reducing their sexual partners “for the moment” following the U.N. health agency declaring the escalating outbreaks in multiple countries to be a global emergency. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said 98% of the monkeypox cases detected since the outbreaks emerged in May have been among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men. He called for those at risk to take steps to protect themselves. “That means making safe choices for yourself and others, for men who...

I got monkeypox and it’s been a total nightmare. When New York Pride festivities kicked off on 24 June, I was aware that monkeypox was an emerging issue – especially for gay men – but I was also under the impression that the number of cases in the city was relatively small. What I didn’t understand was how absolutely dismal testing capacity was: at that point, the city only had capacity to process ten tests a day. I had sex with several guys over the weekend. Then a week later, on 1 July, I started feeling very fatigued. I had...
