We are done with all of the scolds. To quote Shakespeare from “Romeo and Juliet“, “A pox on you for your loathesome chiding.” We let our “betters” rag on us about Covid for two years. We are NOT going to let them serve up their panic porn in a large size bucket for Monkeypox. It will still sell well to the masked coastal elites. They will eat it up and ask for seconds. The “Karens” will be grateful for the next subject “to shame and snitch” on us unwashed rubes.

Maybe the Karens will permanently self-isolate:

If monkey pox becomes a pandemic I’m never ever leaving my house

What in tarnation is Monkeypox? According to the CDC:

Monkeypox is a rare disease that is caused by infection with monkeypox virus. Monkeypox virus belongs to the Orthopoxvirus genus in the family Poxviridae. The Orthopoxvirus genus also includes variola virus (which causes smallpox), vaccinia virus (used in the smallpox vaccine), and cowpox virus.

The smallpox vaccine offers some protection against Monkeypox and cowpox, it is thought. Unfortunately, we stopped routinely vaccinating citizens against small pox in 1972, when smallpox was believed to have been eradicated in the world. According to The Center for Infectious Diseases Research and Policy four countries have stockpiles of the virus, France, Russia, Iraq and North Korea. Yippee. I trust none of those four. Glad I got my pox vax and hope to heck it still has some efficacy.

How is Monkeypox spread? According to the untrustworthy World Health Organization:

–Monkeypox is transmitted to humans through close contact with an infected person or animal, or with material contaminated with the virus.
–Monkeypox virus is transmitted from one person to another by close contact with lesions, body fluids, respiratory droplets and contaminated materials such as bedding.

So, social distancing, hand washing, stay away from lesions. Got it.

Why is Monkeypox popping up now? Well, many news organizations are tap dancing around the subject, but gay sex may be a culprit, according to The Hindustan News Hub:

Monkeypox is now wreaking havoc in Europe and the UK. After several cases of monkeypox were reported in Madrid, Italy and Tenerife, investigations have now begun over the Gran Canarian Pride festival, which was attended by some 80,000 people from the UK and across Europe. Held from May 5 to May 15, the Pride Festival attracts people from all over Europe. The monkeypox virus has since been found in the people who took part in it.

Health services in the Canary Islands are now looking for links between monkeypox cases and the LGBT festival, DailyMail reported. A source told El Pais that among the 30 or more people who tested positive for monkeypox in Madrid, there are many who attended the festival. However, it is not yet known whether all were infected there or the number of cases from the festival is zero. Three people from Italy who attended this party were later found to be monkeypox positive.

This is not a gay disease. Anyone can get it. However…. if gay and bi-men have certain sexual practices…

I don’t know how to say this without offending anyone, but acknowledging that #monkeypox is spreading within gay networks – & some gay & bi men have a lot of sex – is not inherently homophobic. 1/ pic.twitter.com/2Tw04f0LkN
