Daily News Thai Caption: (Monkeypox) is brutal

 

As Thailand's health authorities refused to upgrade monkeypox from a disease of concern to one of danger came news of a US man's fight against the disease.

 

The Twitter pictures and text was shared by leading Thai virologist Dr Anan Jongkaewwattana on his personal Facebook page. 

 

The American said that at first there were few symptoms but as his immune system became challenged lesions appeared on his face, reported Daily News.

 

Now they were appearing randomly on his body including his leg and he had a first ever case of 'strep throat'.

 

He said that he wouldn't wish all this on his worst enemy.

 

And said that the pain he had been experiencing from the "brutal" disease was "keeping my eyes full of tears".

And that has what to do with cases here in Thailand?  Asking for my Nigerian friend who is on overstay.....

So a Thai doctor posted something on his personal Facebook page about what someone in America said about their personal symptoms... and it's news because...?

Because there are groups of powerful people who have got their hooks into society (circa January 2020) and they are playing it for all they can get!

Meanwhile US let 28 million doses of vaccine  expire. Did not share with Nigeria and others early when it could have been contained. Let's buy some more weapons. We'll never learn

Just because they decide it is. 

Just a fore warning of things to come ????

I read today on the UK gov. daily 'letters' that the UK has updated symptoms found in the UK...they have added a few; lesions in the mouth and other areas. However, I did not read anything that would indicate a necessity to upgrade the Monkeypox state.

Attempting to generate hysteria much ????

 

These stories would go unreported if Covid had not heightened the world to ‘virus paranoia’…

 

Now any viral outbreak is a click-bait wet dream for any site or person seeking publicity.

It's rather unfortunate that homosexuals walking around with these lesions and large sores on their face are being accused by religious people of carrying a stigma, a visible mark of sin according to their outdated religious teachings.

This is just a guess, but I'd suspect Nigeria didn't offer to pay for the vaccines.

Pharmaceutical companies are not charities.

If there were a large gay community in Thailand, then there would be legitimate cause for concern. But since, as we all know, gay men are virtually nonexistent here, what me worry?

Governments are not businesses they print their own money  and take half of mine to be mostly wasted.  The pox vaccines were in USA Government stockpiles. Throw it away rather than share resources where tho disease has been a problem for several years. 

A derogatory trolling post has been removed.

Vaccines have always been donated to third world countries, including smallpox vaccines.
