Hold onto your asses – it’s an Analmergency in Analmerica!
AP:
The U.S. will declare a public health emergency to bolster the federal response to the monkeypoxoutbreak that has infected more than 6,600 Americans, two people familiar with the matter said Thursday.
The announcement will free up federal money and other resources to fight the virus, which may cause fever, body aches, chills, fatigue and pimple-like bumps on many parts of the body. The people spoke on the condition of anonymity ahead of an official announcement.
The declaration comes as the the Biden administration has faced criticism over monkeypox vaccine availability. Clinics in major cities such as New York and San Francisco say they haven’t received enough of the two-shot vaccine to meet demand, and some have had to stop offering the second dose to ensure supply of first doses.
The White House said it has made more than 1.1 million doses available and has helped to boost domestic diagnostic capacity to 80,000 tests per week.
The monkeypox virus spreads through prolonged and close skin-to-skin contact, including hugging, cuddling and kissing, as well as sharing bedding, towels and clothing. The people who have gotten sick so far have been primarily men who have sex with men. But health officials emphasize that the virus can infect anyone.
This is the exact same thing they did with GRIDS – “oh yes, everyone we know of who has developed this condition is a homosexual male – but also, normal people can get it because it’s a virus, actually.”
The announcement comes three days after the Biden administration named top officials from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to serve as the White House coordinators to combat the monkeypox outbreak.
…
Such a declaration is an important — and overdue — step, said Lawrence Gostin, a public health law expert at Georgetown University.
“It signals the U.S. government’s seriousness and purpose, and sounds a global alarm,” he said.
Under a declaration by the Department of Health and Human Services, the agency can draw from emergency funds, hire or reassign staff to deal with the outbreak, and take other steps to control the virus.
A public health emergency can be extended, similar to what happened during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Just to remind everyone: homosexuals have always developed pox-like lesions on their flesh. I don’t want to post the pictures because they’re too gross, but anyone who wants to compare and contrast can type in “AIDS sores” and compare them to the pictures of monkeypox.
That is to say: there is no reason to believe the homos are suffering from a new condition. More than likely, this is the same thing as the coronavirus, where they’ve just renamed something that already existed and called it a crisis.
It’s logical that they would target the “anal community” for a hoax, as these people are very scared of viruses.
Regardless: I will maintain my position: I don’t think they are going to force-vax anyone over monkeypox. More likely, they are going to make as much noise as possible to get everyone back into virus mode before the reboot of coronavirus. You just can’t do total mass hysteria with a disease that only affects analists.
Twitter MAGA people are saying that this is somehow linked to the midterms – who knows.
🙄 Mid-terms are in about 3 months. Who couldn’t see this coming?
