  1. These comments! Lol. Im 52 and Gay. Ive never had a sexually transmitted disease. People dont get monkey pox from having anal or oral sex. They get it from being sexully promiscuous.

  2. Mostly gotten by sexual contact and mainly through those of the LGBTQ community. Do not belittle this, not because of stigma, but so they can be more aware and not mess with loose as partners. They matter too.

  3. Now we need butt masks.

  4. Let's see the racial breakdown of the cases because you pathological liars are not capable of telling the truth. Most of the affected that I've seen are white males. What do your stats say about that?

  5. Monkey pox? What will gays bring us next?

  6. Oh my God! The Guardian and Japan Today said 99% of Monkeypox cases were men having sex with men. This is so transphobic! How is this allowed?!

  7. The gays should be ashamed!

  8. fabulous pox is spreading amongst fabulous people. It spreads through people making fabulous summer love…

  9. THE BIDEN REGIME FEAR MONGERING AGAIN.

  10. Just stay away from real big Americans straight black n white then rest of the world would be ok n insult n make them pay price compensation as they've been bullying rest of the world.

  11. Irresponsible idiot!
    Not clased as an std because it isn't one!

    He's sayin you can get it from hugging but not close contact on transport
    How does that make sense
    Friends/ family sit close together skin touching or if your on crowded transport
    Maybe he's forgotten what that's like!
    Can be caught through linen and clothes

    I don't want to stigmatize but…

    So damn irresponsible

  12. Listen to what he isnt saying about the children. We dont have to worry about them getting in normal interactions …. and another network said that they (a couple of young boys) are in the gay community … CHILDREN …. CHILDREN are being given this, how??? 😳🥺

  13. John 14:15-17

    “If you love me, obey my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you. He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth.

    1 John 5:3

    "This is the love of God, that we keep His Commandments, and His Commandments are not burdensome."

    Romans 3:23

    For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard

    Romans 6:23

    For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.

    Romans 10:9

    If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.

  14. I just bought the new Pfizer butt-plug, to protect me from catching Spunkey-cox.

  15. We should listen to the people in the comments here who know more than doctors who have studied infectious diseases for decades.

  16. Man, when all the jaded cynics are covered in excruciatingly painful lesions, I wonder how many of them will regret not getting vaccinated. They won't be laughing then just like the folks over at r/HermanCainAward

  17. Thays it 6k??? Lol wheres the worrie?? Only the fake news would make a big deal before the 2022 election

  18. get me vaccinated against everything thx.
    jk.

  19. With the southern border invasion Monkey Pox will spread in sanctuary cities across America

  20. As soon as this doctor said “Monkeypox patients”, I was like …”where’d they dig him up from?” You can’t get infected from sitting beside someone in the subway, but you can get it from sharing clothing and prolonged bodily contact? Has he ever been in a NYC MTA subway car during rush hour? People are pressed up against each other for MULTIPLE STOPS. Again…where’d they dig him up from???

    Jesus, I don’t understand why there isn’t more urgency. Is the government waiting for a majority of people to get infected so they can gain immunity, hence not needing to vaccinate tens of millions in a state where they’re only allocated thousands of vaccines?

    And by retaining the vaccine for MSM only, does that inadvertently cause MSM to not curb their behaviors so the illness doesn’t spread? Healthcare workers and children should be getting first dibs. We NEED to social distance AGAIN and since the government won’t take greater action, it’s up to us to protect ourselves by using common sense.

  21. 99% of people are getting it from gay orgies, but no it's not a sexually transmited disease.

  22. Lies. It is coming from the vaccines. Chicken pox is not that much different between Monkeypox. I got vaccinated in the past, which is how I got chicken pox when I was a child. I put healthy products in my body to protect myself from these diseases.

  23. So when the world Hearth organization tells you not to have sex to survive and live to do the right thing you will obey when they tell you to stand six feet apart you will obey when they tell you the world of mask you will obey but when God tells you to keep your penis in your pants and share it only with a woman you disobey and give him the middle finger so yes you willfully want to get infected with the virus of Eternal death

  24. all spread by gay sex – strange years ago this would be stated now PC has taken over. Stop licking ah's and we should be ok.

  25. If you try to force another vaccine on the American people, your life will be in danger

  26. Thank god i got my first shot
