Default Monkeypox - are you worried?

Now that the WHO have raised the threat level to a PHEIC (Public Health Emergency of International Concern), one step away from a pandemic, which is how Covid came to us, are you worried about this new virus? I mean, they're saying at the moment it's only really showing up in homosexual men, but hell, that's what they said about AIDS originally, and look what happened there. Not that the risk to gay men is to be discounted, of course, but do you believe/fear they're just hiding some data and that Monkeypox is a more virulent and transmissable disease than they're saying? Do you intend to get vaccinated? Are you considering getting rid of your pet monkey?

Well, let's see, I'm not only not gay, I'm also celibate. I don't shoot up and I haven't had any blood transfusions. Monkeypox apparently isn't airborne.

So, no, I'm not concerned.

No, just another ploy from the liberal democrats trying to steal the upcoming elections by scaring people into staying home and vote by mail. It's the same reason that a supposed Covid surge is underway. It's getting old. It's so obvious.

What's your address I'm going to mail you my balls. The right one will say Trump and the left one will say Hillary, please circle one.

TIL the Dems apparently run the WHO. Makes sense though, as we all know every thing in the world revolves solely around the US

Obvious if you're a delusional ’thinker’ addicted to conspiracy theories.
