#MonkeyPox cases are rising across the U.S., and investigations being done by #publichealth organizations suggest it is likely that we are having local person-to-person transmission of this #virus, says #ColumbiaMed’s Dr. Jason Zucker. https://t.co/lJLDTjF1yi

Monkeypox almost seems like a troll of paranoid right-wingers, specifically Andrew Anglin and others such as I, Elvis Dunderhoff. This is a pox which – like many diseases – is spread primarily or exclusively by gay sex, but they’re now calling it a crisis and an emergency.
Monkeypox cases are on the rise in cities across the US, including New York — but experts claim that local health departments are not equipped to handle the large demand for tests.
The Biden Administration announced this week that tests for the virus will be shipped to commercial laboratories in a scramble to expand testing and speed up diagnoses as confirmed cases nationwide hit 152 as of Wednesday, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
But those labs won’t be up and running for monkeypox testing until July — leaving 67 laboratories in 48 states with a bandwidth of just 8,000 tests nationwide per week.
“What I have heard from a number of people who work on gay health issues, who have friends and friends of friends who have relayed multiple stories of people who have attempted to get tested and been unable to get tested,” Cornell University epidemiologist Dr. Jay Varma told The Post.
Varma, who helped orchestrate the Big Apple’s COVID mitigation and vaccine rollout strategies, has taken to Twitter with his frustrations.
Unbelievable that @CDCgov repeating same #COVID19 mistakes with #monkeypox: 1/duly warned by events in Europe, 2/still under-estimate transmission, 3/gate-keep testing so that it rarely happens. 1st rule of outbreak control is over-react first…or fall behind & don't catch up. https://t.co/JOUUqfVC9w

Dean Blumberg, chief of pediatric infectious diseases at UC Davis, said he believed the monkeypox response had been better than COVID-19 but more testing was still needed so that contact tracing could be done and the spread limited.
“Once you do that contact tracing, once you find people who are at risk, you can have a very low threshold for testing and you can make sure that people can be educated in ways that they can limit transmission to others,” Blumberg told The Post.
In New York City, the Department Health and Mental Hygiene can run just 20 tests a day, officials said. Authorities have detected 30 probable cases as of Thursday, with more than a dozen in the last two weeks across, but officials are unable to say how many New Yorkers are unable to get the needed testing for a confirmed diagnosis.
Major urban centers reported only a handful of sites to conduct tests, with only one in Philadelphia, where there are two confirmed cases, and three in Chicago, where there have been 23 cases, including 19 in the past two weeks, local officials said.
Monkeypox can infect anyone but a number of the cases in the US and Europe have been found in gay men, leading health officials to push to raise awareness in the community even as tests remain scarce and only people who meet strict criteria like having lesions can even get tested.
I don’t really think they’re going to make you wear masks or lock down because the gays are spreading smallpox. It’s rational to assume that at this point though because the medical system is so fully discredited and correctly understood as a center of global corruption and fraud.
Rather than the reason for a new lockdown, it seems more likely that the media/government/Jews just want to keep the pressure up on this looming existential threat of viruses. I don’t think “medical tyranny” is over, at all, and I think further mass hysteria is coming down the pipe. My theory this entire time has been that the vaccine is going to cause a condition that they blame on a new virus, or at least that they will be able to publish real death statistics skyrocketing as evidence of a new virus. Deaths did not go up in 2020, during “the height of the pandemic,” which proved there was no virus, but deaths have massively spiked “post-pandemic.” It’s not just the vaccine – it’s also suicide and drug ODs – but they won’t talk about any of it.
This whole agenda remains the same, but the details of it do change based on focus-group testing and these “social simulations” they run on computers to gauge how people will react to certain things. All the jokes about “Putin cures Covid” were very accurate – it was like a switch was flipped when the Ukraine thing happened. I will stand by the claim that this was influenced by failures of prediction models regarding vaccine uptake. I don’t think they predicted that at least a third and maybe closer to half of the population would refuse the vax. If you listen to some of these people talk, they will go into the statistics on child vaccinations, which is nearly universal, and I think “people already take vaccines” was an assumption. It’s likely that many more people would have taken their Covid vax if it had been marketed better and didn’t make it look like a conspiracy to kill everyone – so maybe the computer models were right, but they couldn’t take into account the smarminess of Anthony “Tony” Fauci the dog torturer.
People are freaking out in the replies to the WHO tweet.
There is no outbreak. Just stop this shit.
