isn't it more a case of which men have been having sex with other men?

Fom OP:  Although mpox has been known for decades, a new and more lethal strain known as Clade 1b has recently caused a surge in mpox cases.

 

From NYTimes: . Clade Ib appears to spread mainly through heterosexual sex.

Thanks! 

I hope that this time the vaccine will be in suppository form, so that we can insert it directly into the right place! 🤕🤒😷⚰️🤔

A good thing they wai in Thailand rather than shake hands.

Virus?  We are all going to die.. again.

[john donson]

why sugar coat...

 

sex of men with other men... 

 

and stay off the whores and massage places for a while

 

skin to skin...

 

but a lab could make it viral spreak ?  a bit of gain of function, you know,  to make a new vaccine...

It is spread through close contact, skin to skin, mother to child (one death of 10 week old child) has a 3-17 day incubation before any symptoms

Crowded markets , people brushing past you, shaking hands, hugging all MAY transmit if skin to skin 

There is a vaccination available 

Skin to skin: prostitutes, any kind of massage

Yep. That was/is the case AIDS-HIV too. 

 

Possibly the most ignorant thing I've ever read on this forum, and that's saying something. Stuck in the '80s, perchance?! 🙄

The type of mpox the infected patient is suspected to have is transmitted mostly via the adult-to-adult route.

 

"In countries reporting clade I cases, human-to-human transmission through close physical contact and through both sexual and non-sexual transmission has been documented. Although all age groups are represented among cases infected with MPXV clade I, preliminary data show that infections by clade Ib virus concern mostly the adult population, whereas infections by clade Ia concern mostly children. To date, there are still significant uncertainties about the main transmission routes, transmissibility, severity, and natural disease history, and whether these differ between the two circulating subclades of clade I MPXV."

Just to be clear: mpox is not, per se, a sexually transmitted disease. So wearing condoms or whatever other precautions one might take to avoid infection won't be effective in this case:

 

"The virus is not a textbook sexually transmitted infection. However, it is spread through close physical contact and sex obviously involves close contact."

Here we go again. The WHO & WEF know the covidiocy and all its variants are being ignored, so let us roll out the next one. They lied to us before, what makes anyone think they are just doing the same again. Control, Control, Control.

Close the doors.

 

Nobody allowed in or out.

 

Life was so much better without all these pesky tourists littering the place in their elephant pants and escaping wars which they created!

I'm sure there will be a New & Improved mRNA Monkeypox "vaccination" produce within the next 100 days and given full FDA EUA approval without adequate testing or long-term testing after a brief period of "thorough" testing by the manufacturers of the vaccine and rushed to market to save humanity from the Monkey Plague (God save us all 🙏).

That fact that there is a Monkeypox/Smallpox vaccination (vaccinia) already is probably of little consequence.  That fact that most adults my age have already been innoculated using a vaccinia virus based vaccine will be overlooked as we are told that "all humans on the Earth must get Monkeypox Vaccinations or risk dying a horrible death!"  What they won't tell you is that the current Monkeypox vaccination is a combination Monkeypox/Smallpox vaccination and contains neither Monkeypox or Smallpox viruses but live, non-replicated vaccinia virus.

Nah - there's still three months.  They'll roll out the Bird Flu in another month and The Chicken Plague will be upon us ("Katy Bar The Doors!")

Really shouldn't be much of an issue in Thailand as transmission only occurs via skin to skin contact i.e. an infected person must have physical contact with another person. A couple of years there was an outbreak in the States (I want to say less than a dozen or so) who all were on board the same gay cruise ship, go figure.

 

Still think it's funny that they had to change the name from monkey pox to mpox so as not offend the monkeys. Well, how do you think the chickens feel after all these years, or cows for that matter?

Monkeys are woke too, nobody cares what a chicken thinks.

If you're planning a romantic evening with monkeys, please use a condom ... every time! 

[stvette2011]

Another way to control the people if you don't believe it look at the scare tactics used for a disease that is passed on by men having sex with men and then the same spreading it to others. It can only be spread by sexual contact but because of the woke police, they will never admit it. Wake up people and watch what will happen if you don't fall in line with the narrative.

Isn't it the people having F-ing breaks that are spreading this?

1. Spreading this...where exactly ❓

2. It's currently a non-event/non-issue and has been so for years. 

3. And even IF it is spreading and becomes an issue...you without wanting a <deleted> break will spread it the same chance as me wanting a <deleted> break. 

4. I couldn't give a <deleted> 💩 less about it regardless. Every day is a risk. Life is hazardous. Nearly every aspect of Nature is out to kill us. And much of the human manufactured world is too. Lot's of dangerous people out there also.

 

Constantly existing in fear and paralyzed by fear mongering of the next potential maybe/kinda/sorta bogeyman is not living life. It's life living and owning you. And that is definitely NOT for me. So I reiterate...

Gimme a <deleted> break❗🙂

It's not about chickens, cows. It's about how virus feeling if it have named by monkey name.

It is a misnomer as the virus originated in rodents......another, maybe more important, reason for the name change?

It is a contagious disease  NOT an STD.  It is transmitted by skin to skin contact and maybe skin to some object that has been touched by skin - door handles, chairs, squirtgun handles - anything where the shin may have transferred virus particles to a surface.  Then you touch that surface & Eureka you have monkeypox.  Yes, it can be transferred by sexual contact but because of all the other transfer possibilities it is not a sexually-transmitted disease.

Nope, just stuck in the numbers, tho admit should have written...predominantly , vast majority & by far...for HIV.

 

"gay and bisexual men are the population most affected by HIV. According to the  Centers for Disease Control and Prevention" (CDC)

 

" gay and bisexual men are the population group most affected by HIV". ---NIH

These stats are generally consistent regardless of country and year.

"While anyone can get monkeypox, the current outbreak is overwhelmingly affecting sexually active gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men. In fact, our recent study which looked at 528 monkeypox infections since the start of the outbreak found that 98% of these infections had occurred in this group."

All this indicates is that gay & bisexual men have more sex so it would expected that a contagious disease would be then be transmitting more among them.  No surprises there.

[bkknirvana]

How do you detect when something is BS? When they change the name! Bit like global warming.

 

I would have more respect for the WHO if they still referred to it as monkeypox although I still don't believe a word that comes out of this horribly corrupt NGO.
