Wow, an article about mpx without the word "gay" in it.

Illinois Gov. declares state of emergency over monkeypox - The Hill
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on Monday declared a state of emergency over monkeypox in order to “expand the resources” needed to combat the current outbreak.

“The Monkeypox Virus is a rare, but potentially serious disease that requires the full mobilization of all available public health resources to prevent the spread,” Pritzker said in a statement.

“I am declaring a state of emergency to expand the resources and coordination efforts of state agencies in responding to, treating, and preventing the spread of MPV,” he added.

There are currently 5,000 monkeypox cases confirmed in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Illinois currently ranks third in terms of cases — behind New York and California — with 520 confirmed cases.

Last week, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) declared a disaster emergency in the state in order to “respond more swiftly to the outbreak” of monkeypox. Some cities, including San Francisco and New York City, have also declared emergencies in response to monkeypox outbreaks.

Add polio to the list.
The case - the first in the US since 2013 - was found in an unnamed patient in Rockland County.

Officials say no new cases have been identified, and it is not yet clear whether it is actively spreading.

According to the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the presence of polio in the community's wastewater suggests there may be others who are shedding the virus in their stool.

U.S. Could Have Had Many More Doses of Monkeypox Vaccine This Year - NYT
The Department of Health and Human Services delayed asking the manufacturer to process the bulk vaccine the government already owned into vials.

WASHINGTON — The shortage of vaccines to combat a fast-growing monkeypox outbreak was caused in part because the Department of Health and Human Services failed early on to ask that bulk stocks of the vaccine it already owned be bottled for distribution, according to multiple administration officials familiar with the matter.

By the time the federal government placed its orders, the vaccine’s Denmark-based manufacturer, Bavarian Nordic, had booked other clients and was unable to do the work for months, officials said — even though the federal government had invested well over $1 billion in the vaccine’s development.

The government is now distributing about 1.1 million doses, less than a third of the 3.5 million that health officials now estimate are needed to fight the outbreak. It does not expect the next delivery, of half a million doses, until October. Most of the other 5.5 million doses the United States has ordered are not scheduled to be delivered until next year, according to the federal health agency.

To speed up deliveries, the government is scrambling to find another firm to take over some of the bottling, capping and labeling of frozen bulk vaccine that is being stored in large plastic bags at Bavarian Nordic’s headquarters outside Copenhagen. Because that final manufacturing phase, known as fill and finish, is highly specialized, experts estimate it will take another company at least three months to gear up. Negotiations are ongoing with Grand River Aseptic Manufacturing, a Michigan factory that has helped produce Covid-19 vaccines, to bottle 2.5 million of the doses now on order, hopefully shaving months off the timetable, according to people familiar with the situation.
Meanwhile, access to the vaccine is limited -- at least in my city -- to cis gay men, sex workers, trans folkx, which sadly stigmatizes these groups and generates resentment towards them on the part of mainstreamers already primed for transphobia, homophobia, and SWERFism. OTOH I am glad they're being prioritized, since it's harder to get equitable health care when you're a sexual or gender minority. So it's a very pointless double-edged sword.

This totally false dilemma could have been avoided.

Some day, people will learn from the mistakes of the HIV/AIDS crisis like 40 damn years ago, but looks like that's not gonna be tomorrow morning or any time soon. :problem:

Grrrrrrrrrr,

Gov. DeSantis blasts Anthony Fauci AIDS policy in monkeypox comments
https://floridapolitics.com/archives/54 ... monkeypox/

Gov. Ron DeSantis gave some indication of his administration’s policy regarding monkeypox will be Wednesday, by insulting an old foe’s policy recommendations from a bygone era.

We are not going to be like (Dr. Anthony) Fauci in the ’80s, claiming that families could get AIDS by sitting and watching TV together,” DeSantis said at a press conference in Rockledge, where he and state health officials were addressing opioid treatment. :|

After asking the Governor’s Office for clarification of DeSantis’ reference, they sent a link to a long-form 1983 interview with Fauci where he said the “full extent of transmissibility” of the disease was not known. :roll:

They asserted further clarification of the specific reference would be found in the Twitter replies of Press Secretary Christina Pushaw. :roll:

[snip]

DeSantis spoke at length about the need to not succumb to “fear,” in comments reminiscent of previous remarks from the Governor during various COVID-19 surges.

“You see any of these politicians out there trying to scare you about this, do not listen to their nonsense. I am so sick of politicians, and we saw this with COVID, trying to sow fear into the population,” DeSantis said.

DeSantis vowed anything the state does “from a public health perspective” will be rooted in “facts” and not “fear.”

States of emergency imposed in other states, he added, will lead to those states opting to “abuse those emergency powers to curtail your freedom.” :roll:

DeSantis also suggested monkeypox won’t be the last public health threat, suggesting more viruses could emerge from China.

“Who knows what they’re cooking up in Wuhan? You just never know,” DeSantis speculated.

[snip]

Ladapo said there are 500 known cases in Florida, most of them among men and transmitted via sexual contact. There are no fatalities at this point.

[snip][end]

PFFFFFT.

Guy who claims a restaurant with a drag brunch is a public hazard to the community, tries to stoke fear about things in K-12 that aren't happening at all, says don't resort to the politics of fear. :roll:

The word "cooking" re COVID seems to imply it was created in the Wuhan Lab - evidence is increasingly showing that's unlikely. Speaking about spreading irrational accusations.

His nut job of a surgeon general says listen to the science, while he clearly ignored the scientific consensus on gender-affirming care, that he spread ridiculous FEAR about. Hello, your "colleagues" at AFD are telling people to watch out for "demon seed and alien DNA" ...

Finally, Guv, yes, in 1983, we were still learning about the transmissibility of HIV. What Fauci said THEN too was absolutely correct. And you know damn well he never said "you could get it from sitting with your family on the couch watching TV." That's an f'n lie.

Msr. Ladapo, so it's not fatal, still a public health perspective in controlling epidemics, even if it was "only" a threat to MSM, well, you know they are Florida citizens too ...

Well, I guess it's only an emergency if it starts affecting people other than men having sex with men, then. They don't matter?

Also, it has a low case fatality rate, but it's nonzero, and could be a real threat, once again, to the immunosuppressed. Still don't give a crap?

Which again, reminds me of the Reagan era nonchalance toward HIV in the early days. Now, no, you couldn't get it from a toilet seat, or a kid playing basketball with your kid. Certainly not from sitting next to somebody on the couch. There was some over-reaction. But yes, children could get it, and this seemed to "wake" up people to the reality of who it could affect - everybody.

Yep, Ryan White.

Everyone else with HIV/AIDS is youthfully guilty, by default. :problem:

I touched on your question earlier.

The two diseases differ in rate of contagion (R0), case fatality, and most importantly, mode of transmission. We could start there.

This means that mass events have to be handled differently in terms of public health and contagion control.

This is where conservative whites are going with this. It starts with the type of scapegoating you’re doing.

You guys do this in every decade.

Lol this clown doesn’t even read the articles he posts. :problem:

His own article names Dore Alley 2022 for what it is: “Up Your Alley” this year. viewtopic.php?p=33070#p33070

Locally, it’s just known as Dore Alley, after the street it’s held on.

I have not been, but I know people who go every year.

But yes, let’s listen to this propagandized Ron DeSantis dupe from 3000 miles away who doesn’t even know the name tell us all about it. :roll: :roll: :roll:

There is no upper limit to the supremacy/superiority issues of these ignorant, provincial conservative whites. None.

U.S. declares monkeypox outbreak a public health emergency
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/monkeypox- ... -declared/

The Biden administration is declaring a public health emergency for the monkeypox outbreak in the United States, which now counts more infections from the virus than any other country in the world. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra announced the decision at a briefing with top public health officials Thursday.

"This public health emergency will allow us to explore additional strategies to get vaccines and treatments more quickly out to the impacted communities. And it will allow us to get more data from jurisdictions so we can effectively track and attack this outbreak," Robert Fenton, the newly appointed White House national monkeypox response coordinator, said at the briefing.

[snip][end]

States and their gubinators can say what they want; the Feds have issued a declaration.

Lots of flap on the Nooz about the delays in getting vaccine out. Where have we heard this before?

I'm thinking this is the new normal, always one disease behind. The scientists have been predicting a situation like this for a few decades now. Global travel and trade, plus too many people, plus too many wars, minus money that now goes into the bank accounts of the oligarchs, equals a disaster.

I think the point you're making is by the time the government identifies a disease is starting to spread they're already behind the curve to respond to it. That's understandable. It's how the government responds once it's identified as an emergency that should be addressed. Whose responsibility is it to have enough vaccines/treatments to treat a spreading disease, the government or pharmaceutical companies?

So here's the deal. CJ posted earlier about the pros/cons of using the ACAM2000 vaccine.

Up until this point, we've been using Jynneos, which has more pro and less con.

Seems Jynneos is made by a company named Bavarian Nordic, which is a small company in Denmark. I don't know what an American POTUS can do to make the Danes make it faster. Clap together wooden shoes, spin their windmills faster? :D

So I understand in the meantime, good ol' American ingenuity is working on dividing up doses of our existing supply into fifths.

I dunno if there are IP issues with Bavarian Nordic sharing this stuff with American pharmas. I agree Africa also needs vaccines like yesterday, but again, how do we ramp up production if only one small Danish company is making it?

One of the most important things people can do during the monkey pox or actually it's supposed to be called the Orthopoxvirus situation is to make sure right wingers have nothing to say about anything having anything whatsoever even remotely to do with it whatsoever because they aren't just stupid they go out of their way to try to make everything political and anti-Gay, lots of people always die when they do that so for God's sake shut them up every chance you get.

And so the stupid has returned.

Right-Winger Calls for LGBTQ+ People to Be Put in Camps Over Monkeypox
https://news.yahoo.com/winger-calls-lgb ... 19934.html

A supporter of Kari Lake, the Republican nominee for Arizona governor, has called for LGBTQ+ people to be put into camps to stop the spread of monkeypox.

“We need to quarantine and isolate all the folks of the LGBT community,” Ethan Schmidt-Crockett said in a video posted to social media. “We need to find all of them. We need to hunt them down and put them into isolation camps for their own protection.” He asked why the U.S. government isn’t speaking out against “reprobate fornication.”

Monkeypox, or MPV, is spread largely through skin-to-skin contact, such as that which occurs during sex, but it is not a sexually transmitted disease. The majority of cases in the current outbreak have occurred in men who have sex with men; however, there are cases in other populations as well. The federal government has declared MPV a public health emergency, as has the World Health Organization, and they have recommended that people reduce their number of sexual partners. There is a vaccine against MPV, although supplies have been insufficient, and there is treatment for the virus.

Schmidt-Crockett’s remarks echo those made early in the AIDS epidemic. In the 1980s, right-wing extremists such as minor-party presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche pushed the idea of isolating people with HIV.

This isn’t Schmidt-Crockett’s first anti-LGBTQ+ action. Last month he went into a PetSmart store and demanded it take down a Pride flag. He posted a video in which he claimed the flag “supports pedophilia and child sexualization” and told an employee, “The real rainbow is from God. That’s the rainbow of Satan.” The store left the flag up. :roll:

In May, he made a video in which he promised to visit Target stores across the greater Phoenix area during Pride Month to expose what he called the “Satanic pride shrines to children.” He is also an activist against COVID vaccines and masking rules, having founded a group called AntiMaskersClub. Last year he harassed a store that sells wigs to cancer patients because he objected to its requirement for patrons to wear protective masks.

Also last year, he met Lake at a campaign event, and she posed for a photo and video with him and other far-right activists, including Nazi sympathizer Greyson Arnold, CNN reports.

On Thursday, Lake, a former TV anchor, was declared the winner of Tuesday's Republican primary for Arizona governor. She had the support of Donald Trump and has embraced his claim that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him. She defeated a more establishment Republican, lawyer and businesswoman Karrin Taylor Robson, and will face Democrat Katie Hobbs, currently Arizona’s secretary of state, in November.

Lake has been called a hypocrite by critics who say she’s changed positions on several matters out of political expediency. For example, she recently attacked drag queens as “groomers” and dangerous for children while having been longtime friends with a drag queen, Barbara Seville, who has performed drag for more than 25 years and has even performed at Lake’s home with her children present. Also, despite working in the media for years, she has now become disdainful of mainstream journalists.

[snip][end]

What a shock. Idiot Kari Lake supporter, who was an anti masker/vaccine for COVID, now wants to put all LGBTQ people in "quarantine camps" because of monkeypox.

It would be more successful to quarantine right wing hate speech on the Internet. That spreads the fastest of all, and no physical contact is required. It can go from a couple of cases to a global misinformation pandemic in mere hours.

Just noting the irony of guys like this.

COVID-19: wear a mask, get a vaccine, do some minor things to protect yourself, your family & others. TYRANNY! GIVE ME LIBERTY!

Outbreak of monkeypox: PUT TEH GEYZ IN CONCENTRATION CAMPS!

Seems like they are always like this: liberty for me, walls, drones, surveillance, and internment for thee ...

Michigan’s top doctor speaks on state of monkeypox outbreak
...“Here in Michigan, we still have a chance to really contain transmission at this point,” Bagdasarian said, adding that outbreaks in larger cities like New York are going to be harder to contain. “I think now we’re focused on preventing as much transmission as we possibly can.”

As of Friday, more than 70 cases of monkeypox had been confirmed in Michigan. With the upcoming school year and eventually holiday season coming up, officials are hoping to keep case spread low.....
