And WHO has some out trying to tell people that social media is trying to label this as a gay disease and it's not.

Monkeypox is similar to smallpox but milder and both belong to the same group of viruses

Is smallpox like HIV ?

In a Q&A session on Monday, Andy Seale, an advisor with the HIV, hepatitis and sexually transmitted infections program at the WHO, said: "While, for example, we're seeing some cases amongst men who have sex with men, this is not a gay disease as some people on social media have attempted to label it. That's just not the case. Anybody can contract monkeypox through close contact."
Yes HIV is body fluids which includes spit and blood...you are fine....

Not saying it is a gay disease. But it is a disease passes with intimate contact.

You are NOT going to get monkey po shopping at the COSTCO.

There are already liberals on the current events subforum telling us we better mask up or they won't feel sorry for us when we die terrible horrible deaths. The viruses might change, but liberals do not. They are the same bane of advanced civilization they have always been.

If someone near you is coughing then you might think otherwise.

Monkey pos is not small po.


If I was trying to explain my concern of being contaminated by monkey pox vs. COVID..I would say it is more similar with small pox...which was considered eradicated.

Monkeypox is a milder version of smallpox and they both come from the same virus family,

They are similar enough that the smallpox vaccine will protect you.

Nope that's not how they explain monkey pox..Monkeypox is caused by a virus of the same name that is closely related to smallpox, which has now been eradicated from the planet. Both are members of the Orthopoxvirus genus in the family Poxviridae. Monkeypox was first discovered in 1958 when outbreaks of a disease causing a pox were discovered in monkeys held in captivity for research. It was first seen in humans in 1970 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and it is now endemic in Central and West Africa.

I do understand why conservatives are concerned with this monkey pox. My conservative governor shutdown all state schools with some 11 COVID cases....three of these monkey pox cases in the country and he might shut down the state once again.
