Biden to Declare Monkeypox a ‘National Emergency’

-

As I wrote about in May, the bizarre virus with its origins in West and Central Africa, and recently spread via sexual contact at gay fetish clubs and festivals in various European cities, is spreading globally.

And now President Biden is preparing to declare it a ‘national emergency' here in the .

This despite it being mostly non deadly and limited to highly sexually active gay men, and all organizations stating it poses a very low risk to the general population.

Politico reports that “In the U.S., nearly 3,600 cases have been reported. New York City remains the epicenter of the outbreak, with most cases occurring among men who have sex with men.”

Still, some argue this needs to be a ‘national emergency.'

Politico adds:

“I do think it deserves to be one,” said Tom Inglesby, director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security at the Bloomberg School of Public Health. “We're having a lot of challenges around the country with their rate of rise in terms of new cases. It isn't an emergency posing a … high threat to the general population. But it's still moving … and has the potential to spread to additional vulnerable communities.”

While generally not deadly, the disease isn't pretty.

CNBC reports that: “Monkeypox usually begins with symptoms similar to the flu including fever, headache, muscle aches, chills, exhaustion and swollen lymph nodes. It then progresses to body rashes on the face, hands, feet, eyes, mouth or genitals that turn into raised bumps which then become blisters.”

Politico reports that Team Biden is expected to declare the disease a public health emergency in the coming days. Politico explains:

The declaration, which is made by the Department of Health and Human Services, would follow a similar decision made last weekend by the World Health Organization. By designating the outbreak an emergency, HHS could then take a slew of actions, including accessing new money and appointing new personnel, according to the law that dictates how and when the federal can declare such an emergency.

A reminder of how this most recent epidemic began:

According to The Telegraph:

Enrique Ruiz Escudero, the region's cabinet minister for health of the community, said on Friday that health officials had traced many of Spain's 30 monkeypox cases to a single sauna [gay bathhouse] in the capital…

A “notable proportion” of the UK and European cases are in gay and bisexual men, health officials have said.

Three cases in Belgium have also been linked to a large-scale fetish festival in Antwerp, according to organisers. The Darklands Festival [warning: link takes you to festival promotional video, which is NSFW] warned people who attended four days of parties, starting on May 5, that authorities had linked the event to the country's three confirmed cases.

The Telegraph continues:

Darklands is a ticketed event that describes itself as a place where “various tribes in the gay fetish community (leather, rubber, army, skinhead, puppies…) come together to create a unique spectacle of fetish brotherhood”.

Sources have told The Telegraph that an internationally advertised gay party in Spain is also being investigated as the root cause of the global monkeypox cases.

  1. The fool, Biden, has to get us all scared again before the midterms so we will accept more of the deadly non vaccine shots, wearing the useless masks & social distancing six feet (no five or seven but six) apart. That way, the Dems can bring in their crooked mail in voting etc. It’s the only way these turds can keep power.

    • I think this has been “edited”. But the ‘fact-checker’ when it added the “his” in front of ‘its’, did not have the knowledge to add a ‘/’ between the two.

  2. “ The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.” ~ H. L. Mencken

  3. Stop the B.S. with the Monkeypox, the Democrats are just looking for another way to steal elections.

  4. We don’t have a National Emergency here; you are just trying to make it okay to spend more money again and throw it up a wild hog behind. That is all you people know to do.

  5. The election fraud hat worked with COVID ain’t gonna work noe moe! Save the Monkeypox for monkeys like DemonCrats.

  6. It is about eight times as deadly as Covid. However, it is minimally transmissible and highly unlikely to cause a pandemic due to its mode of transmission.

    Monkeypox has been around for decades in Africa. It is not a typical pandemic-capable virus, since it does not spread through aerosols like coronaviruses do. Everything I read about transmission of monkeypox indicates that it is spread through contact, either of an infected person, or of materials that person touched (such as clothes or bedding).

    Monkeypox is largely preventable by the smallpox vaccine. Antivirals developed to fight smallpox will work on monkeypox. Even if it should become endemic in the gay community, it can be stopped. It won’t be another AIDS or Covid-type pandemic.
