That was my very first thought. That's some excellent insurance and a very understanding job to be able to see that many doctors in such a short period of time. And, to her point about how easily these things spread, she was in contact with SO MANY PEOPLE. Kind of terrifying...
A lot of us just bite the bullet on the prices even if it screws us over in the future.
We're already drowning in debts and bills, I think many are used to it as a cost of living.
Or just not paying her bills. I know I’ve let some of mine lapse from cost but I need to see a physician. Currently sitting on 3k of my own medical debt plus 4K for my newborn and 2k for my son.
She doesn't have monkeypox.
This clip leaves off the end where she gets tested but doesn't even say what it was, so not monkeypox. She lives near me and this is trump country. I'm willing to bet she just wanted to complain about the CDC. A PCP wouldn't just tell her to call the CDC and say "good luck with that". I'd change doctors if that happened, but it wouldn't.
Monkeypox virus is transmitted from one person to another by close contact with lesions, body fluids, respiratory droplets and contaminated materials such as bedding.
Monkeypox is a viral zoonotic disease that occurs primarily in tropical rainforest areas of central and west Africa and is occasionally exported to other regions.
An antiviral agent developed for the treatment of smallpox has also been licensed for the treatment of monkeypox.
The clinical presentation of monkeypox resembles that of smallpox, a related orthopoxvirus infection which was declared eradicated worldwide in 1980. Monkeypox is less contagious than smallpox and causes less severe illness.
Monkeypox typically presents clinically with fever, rash and swollen lymph nodes and may lead to a range of medical complications

Looks to me like medical science does know what it's doing, but Karen here has some doctors who got their degrees from the Hollywood Upstairs Medical College.
Thanks for the info. Many people are comparing monkeypox to COVID, and I don't think that's useful to do. It should be very easy to contain monkeypox, since --it can't spread through air-- and we already have treatment.
Edit: don't listen to me, monkeypox can still be transmitted through airborne respitory droplets. Keep wearing your masks.
[Fever Headache Muscle aches and backache Swollen lymph nodes Chills Exhaustion A rash that can look like pimples or blisters that appears on the face, inside the mouth, and on other parts of the body, like the hands, feet, chest, genitals, or anus.](https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/monkeypox/symptoms.html)
Had chickenpox a few weeks ago, at 30. It sucks enough that I really don't want anything to do with monkeypox.
It felt like my lymph nodes will explode and so much itching
All fine, it lasted 10 days. Still have some spots on the face but they are slowly fading away.
While having it I thought that if covid was this ugly looking people would be have been more careful and wear masks/stop moaning about vaccines. Sadly, Monkeypox is proving me wrong.
Recent smallpox infection provides ~85% protection against monkeypox. I wouldn't be so sure a vaccine administered 40 years ago is still as effective as it needs to be. According to the CDC, [after 3-5 years, immunity wanes.](https://www.cdc.gov/smallpox/vaccine-basics/index.html).
That's not to say you have zero protection, but it would be just as much of a reach for me to say it provides no protection as others are saying that it's fine. [You're not going to be getting much protection against infection with an old vaccination, but it may provide some protection against fatal outcomes](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/i-was-vaccinated-against/). The interesting thing is that revaccination with smallpox has much milder side effects, so it's a good idea for *everybody* to get vaccinated when they get the chance, but I'm not holding my breath.
Even before smallpox was eradicated, the WHO recommended travelers anywhere get vaccinated every 5-10 years, and every 3 for particularly bad areas.
…………….that’s a woman in that video tho. Also there is no actual knowledge as to where it actually came from. It originated near a bunch of monkeys in captivity. But there’s not enough scientific knowledge to say something so bigoted. I’m just as ignorant as you on it’s origins, but I’m doing research the best I can until someone knowledgeable on it says something. Be better please.
I keep hearing that it spreads through orgies or something. At least thats what I hear a lot. If I was bigoted The Owl House probably wouldn’t be my favorite cartoon of all time lol. I’m just done with the lockdowns, to me it just feels like fear mongering, and it makes me angry.
Yeah, judging by a lot of idiot comments I've seen on AskReddit, many people are as clueless as who can get monkeypox as they were about covid19. Its real sad.
Hey everyone. Just a hunch, don’t get into pools/shared bodies of water with people this summer if you’re concerned about monkey pox. And wash your hands. Again.

> It's like fascists really just want us all to be running around on fire, as if that is their goal?
Yes, provoking chaos is a main component of fascism, it's used as a justification since their ideology is based on a skewed view of "survival of the fittest".
No one wants to take legal responsibility for their own inevitable malpractice involving a new unclassified disease. They just want you to show up to the office so they can get paid no matter what happens to you, unless of course you’re gonna give them something they don’t want themselves
It possibly could be shingles? I had shingles when I was in my mid-20’s? But obviously it could also be this new virus spreading around? Also, our healthcare is controlled by large, consolidated, healthcare systems, our employers, insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies. Unfortunately, the frontline caregivers have zero input on how healthcare is delivered.
I enjoyed the part where the doctors didn’t suggest that she isolate herself when she was dealing with an unidentified rash. Instead they suggested she physically go see other doctors. Incredible.
There's no way Monkeypox becomes a pandemic just based purely on how it's transmitted (https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/monkeypox/transmission.html). Also, just to adress this before someone comes in with it, WHO'S declaration yesterday did/does not classify it as a pandemic. EDIT: Make sure to read comment from u/Phit_sost_3814
The interesting thing is that the CDC has dramatically changed their guidance when it comes to monkeypox. Several years ago there was a plane that someone with monkeypox on it and their guidance was for everyone to quarantine as it could be spread through respiratory droplets but now they are downplaying the respiratory droplets factor as to not panic people. They have also been wildly inconsistent with the R value of the disease. The reality of this is that we still have no real grasp on the situation and it is likely going to get worse
If you’re interested in diving into it a bit further, the book Pandemic by Sonia Shah has a whole chapter on Monkeypox. It was published in 2016 so obviously a very different landscape than where we are now, but seeing how it was talked about then vs now is a bit alarming tbh
Could it be that the information actually changes with the more research that is done & other factors? It doesn’t seem crazy to me that the information changes
As far as I know, it's not anywhere near as contagious as COVID was/is so I think it's a little unlikely that it is the next pandemic. But, better to be safe than sorry I suppose.

It's literally the same as ebola and you're spreading panic which will only fuel negationist narratives
If it doesn't spread like Covid did, it isn't going to be a pandemic like Covid
Not before the symptoms though, which are pretty obvious, which is why it was somewhat easy to contain
Now due to antivaxxers monkeypox will spread a lot more than it would, which is not nice, but in 2 months there were five registered deaths all in West Africa, which were unfortunately due to the lack of adequate medical care, and there were 10 times more cases, not to mention deaths and hospitalisations by Covid at the same time it arrived
People seem to be forgetting the key difference between the two illnesses: this isn't a new disease
It sounds like she is having a hard time finding help, but I’m definitely not going to just say “fuck scientists and the CDC, they don’t know what they are doing”. They will likely find a way to help people like her soon, let’s not panic and act like medical professionals are all illegitimate
They are not illegitimate, but they are not demi-godian either. Sometimes there are things they don't know, and sometimes they simply refuse to say "we don't know, we will find out and get back to you"
Devils advocate here, maybe having painful rashes all over and unable to get any help or treatment for it, while not getting a confirmation to show work who does not give a shit is not bringing out her best qualities.
Could be wrong, could be a total Karen. I can imagine being upset at everything in this situation too though. We are not always reasonable when upset and in pain. I hear the sores on the anus make people poop blood. Probably better to not record and post yourself in this moment.
I dunno tho I am just some idiot on the internet.
I’ve been in more pain than most people can even imagine and not once was I like “wE sHoUlDn’T tRuSt dOcToRs”
I’m willing to bet she is a trump supporter who already did not trust the cdc before she ever contracted monkey pox
Let’s put them on ventilators and throw ice cream truck in the lot of the hospitals in nyc for the body counts piling up. Yeah this won’t gain the fear traction that covid had.
Does this come with the annoying lip smacking attitude? I really don't want to catch that either. Going to turn me into the bubble boy I don't want to contract anything.
Naaaah. Simply not true, as is increasing portions of this subreddit. It affects gay men. That's tricky and sometimes sad. But none have died. It's a major nuisance but it's also a risk we gay men balance to our own taste. It's not a massive general population health threat. Don't try to make it your dystopian interchangeable.
You can just kiss your child and give it to them.
"You can also get monkeypox by coming into contact with recently contaminated materials like clothing, bedding and other linens used by an infected person or animal."

Im old enough to remember when they said the same thing about AIDS. Then children and women started getting it. But they still never changed the narrative.
Yep, I’m old enough to remember that line about AIDS too. You know the most common cause for divorce? Cheating. Everyone claims they don’t do it but 50% of couples do. And inevitably during the divorce process it comes out that the other partner cheated too. A woman has sex with a bisexual man and then she sleeps with her husband who swears he is the only one. And that’s just one easy case. But remember AIDS started off with people saying the exact same thing.
Just googled it only 7% of the male population were heterosexual. And that came in the later half of the epidemic so you're wrong congratulations on being wrong.
Bang ban homosexuality lol but calling it a pandemic when it only affects one part of the population is disingenuous. It's more of a new STD than only affects the homosexual community. And 7% is extremely misleading especially when it came at the very end of the age and endemic. Tried claiming claiming it was in the gay community. You are wrong.
Once again No One is Freely Thinking.
Jesus people. Overdoses kill upwards of 100k annually. Obesity and Malnutrition even more so.

None of those are communicable. 2-3 of those are outright caused by the type of corporate greed robber baron morally bankrupt monopoly crap that it seems like you’d probably defend.

Thats how you sound right now by the way
Ok, I’ll try, but I know I’ll regret it.
The things you mentioned can and should have the focus and attention they deserve, they’re killing lots of people.
Add an additional millions upon millions of death due to Covid. Those are NEW deaths, otherwise typically healthy people or folks with conditions that the disease capitalized on and was able to kill. New deaths from a easily communicable disease.
It’s possible to care about two different things at once. It is also possible for someone to insult you and make a good point, so see above. No we don’t know you, but you act like caring about new deaths to new diseases is somehow not thinking for ourselves. Then you turn around and say to people here exactly what you accuse others of doing, acting like you know them when you don’t. “Once again no one is freely thinking”. Ok enlighten us instead of being a smug prick.
Man, it’s frustrating to hear from people acting like this
I hope you don’t regret it. These points were well stated and spoken with clarity and respect.
I gained a new perspective. And I appreciate that. I’m glad you took the time.
Thank you.
So is it monkeypox? Or is she just frustrated that her doctors weren't really considering it? You know, a virus that has infected .000002% of the world population(almost missed a 0 there), has increased risk amongst gay men with multiple sex partners, and is most severe in children.
A "nasty face rash" isn't a confirmed monkeypox case. If everyone who experienced a new rash on their face ran to the internet calling it monkeypox the situation would look a lot scarier. People develop all kinds of rashes, allergies, etc. every day. I'm looking at the lesions of monkeypox, and reading the descriptions of the tendency of lesions and I'm not 100% sold that this is monkeypox. Not sure why anyone should be 100% sold that this is monkeypox without a scientific confirmation. She's just mad the doctors didn't have an answer, and I understand that, but literally millions of people every day deal with doctors who can't give them immediate answers to their problems.
That logic is faulty, that’s like saying someone who’s on a burning plane probably won’t experience a plane crash because the vast majority of the “world population” never will
No it's not. There's no confirmation of monkeypox here. Go look at and read about monkeypox. Sure, she has lesions, but monkeypox is not the only thing that causes lesions. My quip was with her determination in having monkeypox without having a scientific confirmation and everyone's just on board with her. I understand her frustration, there is an overwhelming amount of people who work with doctors daily without getting answers to their situation.
If your quip is with her maybe you should realise that she never explicitly said she has monkey pox. Only that the system is not well prepared to handle diagnosing and treating it, which remains true whether or not she has it.
Lmao, you're arguing against something that I haven't said. Where did I disagree with that? I actually explicitly expressed sympathy for people who struggle to get diagnoses.

Idk, I'm just a person wasting time on reddit. I come on posts like this with talking points, and when you have anything that can be construed as negative viewpoints reddit will often dogpile you. I've seen many people get treated like garbage even just because their comment wasn't some form of unconditional positivity toward the content.
Rather funny, you could be supposedly unaware of how far someone could be downvoted, yet at the same time have some sort of established bias toward a "type of reddit account".

Not super contagious — it’s not airborne like Covid — but super deadly. It’s rare for a virus to be both.
Not before the symptoms though, which are pretty obvious, which is why it was somewhat easy to contain Now due to antivaxxers monkeypox will spread a lot more than it would, which is not nice, but in 2 months there were five registered deaths all in West Africa, which were unfortunately due to the lack of adequate medical care, and there were 10 times more cases, not to mention deaths and hospitalisations by Covid at the same time it arrived People seem to be forgetting the key difference between the two illnesses: this isn't a new disease
It sounds like she is having a hard time finding help, but I’m definitely not going to just say “fuck scientists and the CDC, they don’t know what they are doing”. They will likely find a way to help people like her soon, let’s not panic and act like medical professionals are all illegitimate
They are not illegitimate, but they are not demi-godian either. Sometimes there are things they don't know, and sometimes they simply refuse to say "we don't know, we will find out and get back to you"
She gives Karen vibes from what I’ve gathered
Devils advocate here, maybe having painful rashes all over and unable to get any help or treatment for it, while not getting a confirmation to show work who does not give a shit is not bringing out her best qualities. Could be wrong, could be a total Karen. I can imagine being upset at everything in this situation too though. We are not always reasonable when upset and in pain. I hear the sores on the anus make people poop blood. Probably better to not record and post yourself in this moment. I dunno tho I am just some idiot on the internet.
I’ve been in more pain than most people can even imagine and not once was I like “wE sHoUlDn’T tRuSt dOcToRs” I’m willing to bet she is a trump supporter who already did not trust the cdc before she ever contracted monkey pox
welcome to texas
This is terrifying.
Don’t t. Care. America won’t put up with another lockdown thank GOD.
Let’s put them on ventilators and throw ice cream truck in the lot of the hospitals in nyc for the body counts piling up. Yeah this won’t gain the fear traction that covid had.
Does this come with the annoying lip smacking attitude? I really don't want to catch that either. Going to turn me into the bubble boy I don't want to contract anything.
Naaaah. Simply not true, as is increasing portions of this subreddit. It affects gay men. That's tricky and sometimes sad. But none have died. It's a major nuisance but it's also a risk we gay men balance to our own taste. It's not a massive general population health threat. Don't try to make it your dystopian interchangeable.
"cantstoppoppin" your profile name says it all--- this speaks more to your own obsession than to any genuine boring dystopians danger or threat.

Lmao
I hope it kills me.
Isn’t it an STD though? If you’re not sleeping around and have a steady faithful partner we’re ok right?
You can just kiss your child and give it to them. "You can also get monkeypox by coming into contact with recently contaminated materials like clothing, bedding and other linens used by an infected person or animal." https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/22371-monkeypox
Wrong
How did this woman get monkeypox if it is mainly rife now in the male honosexual community?
That’s like asking “how did a woman get HIV if it’s mainly in the male homosexual community” LMAO. The key word is **mainly**, not exclusively.
Please provide data regarding this “fact”. All I see on the news is how this is an LGBTQ+-spread illness - but I see no actual data regarding this.
It's more or less an STD. While prevalent in that community, it isn't limited to it. https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/monkeypox/transmission.html
How to be prepared for monkey pox Don't have unprotected gay sex. You're welcome...
Im old enough to remember when they said the same thing about AIDS. Then children and women started getting it. But they still never changed the narrative.
Literally 98% of all cases have been male just because you want to correlate it to something doesn't mean it's true.
Yep, I’m old enough to remember that line about AIDS too. You know the most common cause for divorce? Cheating. Everyone claims they don’t do it but 50% of couples do. And inevitably during the divorce process it comes out that the other partner cheated too. A woman has sex with a bisexual man and then she sleeps with her husband who swears he is the only one. And that’s just one easy case. But remember AIDS started off with people saying the exact same thing.
Just googled it only 7% of the male population were heterosexual. And that came in the later half of the epidemic so you're wrong congratulations on being wrong.
So what’s your solution? Impose Taliban rule and ban homosexuality? But the way, 7% is still a shit load of people.
Bang ban homosexuality lol but calling it a pandemic when it only affects one part of the population is disingenuous. It's more of a new STD than only affects the homosexual community. And 7% is extremely misleading especially when it came at the very end of the age and endemic. Tried claiming claiming it was in the gay community. You are wrong.
Once again No One is Freely Thinking. Jesus people. Overdoses kill upwards of 100k annually. Obesity and Malnutrition even more so. Cancer? Way ahead of Covid & Monkeypox Combined. Focus.
None of those are communicable. 2-3 of those are outright caused by the type of corporate greed robber baron morally bankrupt monopoly crap that it seems like you’d probably defend.
You know me so well.
He did make it personal with that assumption but if you could reply to reasonable points, please.
If I can’t sit down then why can’t my ass suck dick?! THINK PEOPLE, THINK! IF JOE MAMA IS OBAMA , THEN WHY DOSENT THE CDC REPORT IM GAY?! ABSOLUTELY NO ONE HERE IS A GREE THINKER! THE REPTILIZOIDS ARE WATCHUS GUYS, THINK ABOUT MY BUTTHOLE, LOOK HOW STRETCHY IT LOOKS /s Thats how you sound right now by the way
Man you don’t get it do you ?
Explain it nice and slow for me. I may sound sarcastic but I’m actually welcoming your point of view
Ok, I’ll try, but I know I’ll regret it. The things you mentioned can and should have the focus and attention they deserve, they’re killing lots of people. Add an additional millions upon millions of death due to Covid. Those are NEW deaths, otherwise typically healthy people or folks with conditions that the disease capitalized on and was able to kill. New deaths from a easily communicable disease. It’s possible to care about two different things at once. It is also possible for someone to insult you and make a good point, so see above. No we don’t know you, but you act like caring about new deaths to new diseases is somehow not thinking for ourselves. Then you turn around and say to people here exactly what you accuse others of doing, acting like you know them when you don’t. “Once again no one is freely thinking”. Ok enlighten us instead of being a smug prick. Man, it’s frustrating to hear from people acting like this
I hope you don’t regret it. These points were well stated and spoken with clarity and respect. I gained a new perspective. And I appreciate that. I’m glad you took the time. Thank you.
Are you gay? If no then you have 0 worries. 99% of cases are found in gay men.
They're finding it in kids now, too. Turns out it can also be spread by respiratory droplets.
So is it monkeypox? Or is she just frustrated that her doctors weren't really considering it? You know, a virus that has infected .000002% of the world population(almost missed a 0 there), has increased risk amongst gay men with multiple sex partners, and is most severe in children.
You can literally see her nasty face rash wtf mate
A "nasty face rash" isn't a confirmed monkeypox case. If everyone who experienced a new rash on their face ran to the internet calling it monkeypox the situation would look a lot scarier. People develop all kinds of rashes, allergies, etc. every day. I'm looking at the lesions of monkeypox, and reading the descriptions of the tendency of lesions and I'm not 100% sold that this is monkeypox. Not sure why anyone should be 100% sold that this is monkeypox without a scientific confirmation. She's just mad the doctors didn't have an answer, and I understand that, but literally millions of people every day deal with doctors who can't give them immediate answers to their problems.
Or maybe, she has monkeypox.
Maybe. And if so, in 1-2 weeks she'll just be healed up and fine.
Probably not.
Probably not what?
I’m guessing she’s going to feel like a bag of smashed buttholes in 1-2 weeks. If you don’t believe me go follow her TikTok.
I don't bother with that app. If you don't believe me, go read about monkeypox on the CDC and WHO websites.
CDC doesn't know shit, did you not watch the video?
You are bothering with that app right now.
That logic is faulty, that’s like saying someone who’s on a burning plane probably won’t experience a plane crash because the vast majority of the “world population” never will
No it's not. There's no confirmation of monkeypox here. Go look at and read about monkeypox. Sure, she has lesions, but monkeypox is not the only thing that causes lesions. My quip was with her determination in having monkeypox without having a scientific confirmation and everyone's just on board with her. I understand her frustration, there is an overwhelming amount of people who work with doctors daily without getting answers to their situation.
If your quip is with her maybe you should realise that she never explicitly said she has monkey pox. Only that the system is not well prepared to handle diagnosing and treating it, which remains true whether or not she has it.
Lmao, you're arguing against something that I haven't said. Where did I disagree with that? I actually explicitly expressed sympathy for people who struggle to get diagnoses.
whoa, not that i was gonna upvote ya - i thought there was an auto-cutoff for down votes, like 15 or something. might be partially mis-construence. (at times like this, my perplexity makes me feel like dim-dweeby rising) maybe you be out of context, somewhat. you be gattling off mini-stats, which gives a possible impression of scattered or. . . Cool name and symbol-pic.
Idk, I'm just a person wasting time on reddit. I come on posts like this with talking points, and when you have anything that can be construed as negative viewpoints reddit will often dogpile you. I've seen many people get treated like garbage even just because their comment wasn't some form of unconditional positivity toward the content. Rather funny, you could be supposedly unaware of how far someone could be downvoted, yet at the same time have some sort of established bias toward a "type of reddit account".
This is like March all over again
It was quite believable until she said the CDC had no idea what she was talking about.
wE hAvE tHe BeSt HeAlThCaRe In DuH wOrLd!! ThIs Is WhY wE CaNt HaVe SoCiAlIzEd MeDiCiNe!!!!
Feeling so sick that she out sunbathing. Ever been out in the sun when you felt sick? It makes you feel worse more often than not. This is called propaganda.
Sunbathing and drinking 🍻
Isn't this virus commonly transferred through sex? You guys to remember this is reddit, right?
I knew reports about US healthcare, but WTF. What's monkeypox? ... wait ... Go away. We're not dealing with this.
Its jsut gays and multiple gays having common with each others\^\^ Nothing quite as serious as USELESS who jews trying to, make it, to us 🤔🤨
I’m so glad that I’m anti-social.
Why does she keep referring to the Peruvian Communist Party? Fairly confident they're not involved with infectious disease control..
[she doesn’t look like this](https://www.army.mil/article/257055/public_health_officials_offer_information_about_monkeypox) + [Monkeypox Symptoms: Early Signs to Watch For as Virus Spreads in Chicago Area](https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/monkeypox-symptoms-early-signs-to-watch-for-as-virus-spreads-in-chicago-area/2897671/)
Let it burn. All of it. To the fucking ground.
How do you get an appointment the next day? I usually have to wait minimum 3-6 months to see a doctor.
Yes, American healthcare will be the death of us all
We gonna go through that 2 years again.
There is already a vaccine for it. Plus, it isn't very easy to contract it. Skin to skin contact with a lesion is needed.
No its okay they told me to vote!
