I’m thinking that monkeypox has the politically correct crowd at a loss when it comes to determining how to politicize and propagandize this alleged health crisis.
And the navel-gazers certainly need something to over-dramatize now that the population in general is tired of masking, vaxxing and all the other COVID blather.
On the face of it, monkeypox seems to be a logical successor to COVID. It’s worst effects have been reported to be primarily on the young, while COVID was largely an elderly phenomenon when it came to serious consequences.
You can almost hear the leftys, kneeling bedside (if they did pray) and saying something like “Thank you, infectious disease gods, for giving us something that we might use to scare the bejesus out of youngsters and their parents.”
Ah, but there’s a fly in the monkeypox ointment, that being often it is young gay men spreading the disease during sex, in part due to genital lesions or saliva exchange.
No less an authority than WHO (World Health Organization, not the rock band) invoked the homosexual men narrative, which was dutifully seconded by the BBC.
More specifically, two non-family oriented events have been identified as “super spreaders.” The first was a “pride” festival in the Canary Islands, the pride word not referring to a group of lions.
The second was a “fetish festival” in Antwerp, Belgium. We can only imagine what went on there.
Can’t wait for the public service announcements pushing vaccines, and masks, the latter to be worn somewhere on the body.
Does don’t ask, don’t tell apply to determining whether or not genitals are masked?
Also on the topic of masks, apparently chickens just won’t keep those life-saving face diapers on their little beaks, leading to an outbreak of avian flu.
You should worry if you happen to like eggs, or chicken products. There have been 37 million birds across 34 U.S. states identified as infected, with many being sacrificed to prevent the spread of the disease.
And you thought the COVID Nazis were tough!
This chicken genocide has resulted in a seven-year low in egg production in these United States. This leads to . . . cue the excuse making from Biden flunkies … higher prices. The reported price increase for eggs nationally in April was 23 percent.
With gasoline and diesel at all-time highs, with natural gas poised for a rapid ascent, with electric utilities across the nation hiking rates, and with food prices in general spiraling ever higher, the last thing we needed was a double whammy of monkeypox and avian flu.
I think I can speak for Biden and his delusional followers by stressing this all is due to that damn Putin and his Ukraine invasion! Or not.
