The Biden administration is making the move to declare Monkeypox a public health emergency. That’s the word on Thursday as fear over the virus continues to spread, mostly driven by health authorities and media outlets that refuse to tell the truth about the risks.
And sure enough, this is all happening just in time for the November election.
To the leftwing hysteric, declaring Monkeypox a public health emergency seems like common sense. To the rest of us, it’s completely asinine and political. If you go to the CDC’s tracker, there have been a total of just 6,617 cases of the virus in the entire United States as of this writing. That’s a small number, no doubt, but it gets even sillier when you look at deaths. There have been zero deaths from Monkeypox in the United States, with only nine deaths in the entire world despite the virus circulating for months now.
I'm not sweating the Monkeypox, yet. You gotta figure that some terrible virus much more deadly than COVID will plague us sometime not long from now, but this one sounds hard to transmit as it is today.

Give Fauci some time. He can “improve” it, but gain of function takes a while.
It's declared because of what it is. Not everything is a political... except to blind partisans who think that way and therefore think that every action by others is political.
With this administration and the Liberals, we've seen over the last couple of years that they have a way to make just about everything political.
In this case, just see how this is starting. Even though this virus is primarily affecting the LGBTQ community(Gay men), they are making it clear that we are not supposed to mention that because it could "stigmatize" them.
This is ridiculous. Monkeypox requires intimate, non incidental contact to acquire.
Make the public aware of the risk but declaring it a "public health emergency" is more alarmist, hysterical BS from the Biden Admin and their wacky "scientists".
Hopefully cities/counties/states change their election laws at the last minute [to benefit Demcorats] so that they can deal with this absolute emergency! Probably not safe enough for people to do anything other than vote by mail and return their ballots 3-10 days after Election Day.
