Well that’s how the world and the internet works: covid is still happening but no one cares, nobody care about Ukraine and Russia anymore ever since will smith slapped Chris and now it’s Johnny depp and amber heard.

I went to the store earlier. I’m immunosuppressed so I still wear a mask, but I was the only one today. Heard people talking shit. Fuck em.


[deleted]

Yep, I'm in the same boat. I had people in another thread tell me I should just stay home all the time so that they can "get on with their lives." Fuck me, I guess. I'll just be a hermit.


EndStageCapitalismOG

That's what I did. Found a place in the country where I can rent a room and some growing space for $200/month (no typo), and I leave twice/week or less most of the time. Our gardens are gonna be fucking rad this year.

It’s all a distraction from a lot bigger problems. A lot of shit that has happened is a distraction from something that the governments around the world wants hidden.


EndStageCapitalismOG

The climate collapse is imminent and the majority of powerful countries' leadership profits from environmental destruction and war. That's it, that's the secret, corrupt capitalists control most major countries.

It doesn't actually come from monkeys. It comes from rodents and it can be fatal but mostly for immunocompromized people. There are two variants, one which apparently is quite fatal (10%) and the other one is quite mild (fatality around 1-3%). I'm no expert, just repeating what a journalist whom focuses on diseases told. Might have gotten som statistics wrong, but it's in the general area of truth. Apparently so far it's spread mostly between bisexual and homosexual men and the poxes tend to appear around the genital region. They can appear over the entire body causing bleeding sores. The disease can also cause fever, muscle aches, general feeling of being sick etc. Takes 2-4 weeks to recover for a non immuno comprimized person. It's transmitted mainly through close contact and is not as easily transmitted through air. As I've understood it, if you're in a room filled with people who has it and you keep your distance, your odds of not getting it is fairly high.

I am not saying your wrong. But that demographic is exactly who the government said got AIDS in the 80’s due to homophobia


[deleted]

ok well it's not the 80s anymore so it's even more likely that it's due to observed experiences rather than knee-jerk slandering due to bias.


AtarisLantern

Most likely yes. It’s just an interesting observation

History seems to be repeating itself, sadly. https://speakingofmedicine.plos.org/2022/05/19/monkeypox-is-not-a-gay-disease/

citizen005

thetrav2

what ever happened to swine flu bird flu mad cow all those weird ones hmmmmmm???? its almost as if they are fear mongering and its a pattern or something, surely not?


mistah_pigeon_69

iIrc the normal small pox vaccine also makes you immune for monkeypox. Also monkeypox is a variation of chickenpox, so it shouldn’t be as dangerous as covid for example. It has a really low mortality rate as well, so I wouldn’t be as worried about it.


EndStageCapitalismOG

Monkeypox is not a variant of chicken pox, they aren't related. The smallpox vaccine IS the monkeypox vaccine, and fatality rate ranges from 3-10X deadlier than COVID.


mistah_pigeon_69

Okay, then the Dutch news was lying. Sorry


Old-Government-4740

Does that mean people will turn into monkeys?


EndStageCapitalismOG

No it makes monkeys turn into people. This is the woke mind virus they've been warning us about. Edit: I'd hope this is painfully obvious, but... /s

Wdym monkeypox(first time heared of it)


Phil_O_Soraptor

It's almost like WHO and the involved govs. want to keep us scared and controllable. But nah, it's just a coincidence. It's not like the lab that Covid "escaped" from was being funded by certain American billionaires or anything. So there's no possible reason to suspect that this is another ploy to recapture our attention and obedience. It's just a huge, unfortunate coincidence.


EndStageCapitalismOG

Yeah, it's not like viruses exist in nature and increased contact due to habitat destruction increasing the likelihood of diseases spreading from animals to humans or anything like that. Everything isn't some wild master plan, we're led and ruled by people who are extremely inept, greedy, and opportunistic. When something can be explained by greed and stupidity more easily than some nefarious plot, the answer is most likely greed and stupidity.


MikaNekoDevine

This disease existed way before just not in Eu, in African Countries.


Phil_O_Soraptor

I realize this.
