The World Health Organisation has declared the mpox outbreak a global health emergency, with an infectious diseases expert telling Sky News it is "very likely" someone in the UK already has the new variant of the viral disease.

      I can already see people saying you don’t have to worry if you don’t fuck monkeys.

        This is mpox, so it’s not monkeys you need to avoid, only MPs… Spread the word!

      That’s why it makes me so shocked that Sky is reporting this. Sure, they love overly dramatic and shock headlines but I’m shocked they aren’t complaining that the Labor government is being “slow to respond”

          Canada has it but it doesn’t mean they’ll share.

            The pox vaccine is ubiquitous. They are a derivative of that which eradicated smallpox in the 80s. It is very likely if you are 40 or older you already have had it.

        This post gave me the same question and I went and looked a bit. Looks like it: https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/mpox/vaccines/vaccine-recommendations.html

          Am I committing a crime if I spread the rumor that it is the best treatment after investing in a manufacturer/supplier? I’m not famous like a former president who did that, but dimethyl mercury is a lot better substance for achieving my political goals than Ivermectin.

        Tbh I really hope they collide with some other niche rabid group. Anyone ever look into the Ray Peat forum? It’s crazy fascinating for me as someone who finds medicine interesting. The anger these people have about what is “Real Peat” diet vs not is 🤌 like a slice of the Old Internet.

        I’d love for antivaxxers to latch onto the Peat diet and try to fight those guys. It would be like Swifties and Kpop stans dueling

      How is it propaganda… It’s not politically motivated

        Propaganda doesn’t have to be political.
