Big 'un Tara Reade loves Scott Ritter -- maybe more than she loves food

PARODY, PEOPLE, REMEMBER: PARODY.

BULLY BOY PRESS & CEDRIC'S BIG MIX & THOMAS FRIEDMAN IS A GREAT MAN & ANN'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL AID TABLE

TARA READE EXPLAINS TO THESE REPORTERS -- MUST CREDIT BULLY BOY PRESS & CEDRIC'S BIG MIX & THOMAS FRIEDMAN IS A GREAT MAN & ANN'S BIG MIX -- THAT SHE'S USED TO BEING CALLED NAMES.

"FAT. I GET CALLED FAT A LOT. PEOPLE SAY WHY WOULD JOE BIDEN ASSAULT YOU -- LIKE I LOOKED LIKE THIS WHEN I WAS YOUNGER. OR THEY SAY, 'WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST USE YOUR GIRTH TO SMUSH HIM LIKE A BUG WHEN HE ASSAULTED YOU?' 'OR WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST DROWN HIM IN YOUR BOOB SWEAT!' I GET A LOT OF FAT JOKES," READE BRAGS.

OH. OKAY.

''OR LIKE," TARA READE CONTINUES, "'WANT TO GET TARA TO LOSE WEIGHT? PAY THE ICE CREAM TRUCK GUY TO KEEP DRIVING'."

ALRIGHT.

"OR THEY SHOUT AT, 'YOU SO FAT, THE ANIMALS AT THE ZOO FEED YOU!' OR LIKE THEY SAY WHEN I ACCUSED JOE BIDEN OF ASSAULT, JILL BIDEN SNAPPED BACK, 'WHY DON'T YOU PICK ON SOMEONE YOUR OWN SIZE -- LIKE SHAMU!' OR --"

SHE DRONED ON LISTING ONE FAT JOKE AFTER ANOTHER FOR OVER AN HOUR.

BUT IT WAS NO JOKE WHEN SHE TOOK THE PAPER OF MISRECORD TO COURT RECENTLY FOR WHAT SHE SAYS WAS THEIR ATTEMPT TO AID IN IDENTITY THEFT. THE COURT FOUND IN FAVOR OF 'THE NEW YORK TIMES.'

AND THAT'S WHAT TARA READE WANTS TO TALK TO US ABOUT THIS MORNING.

HOWEVER, THE REASON WE AGREED TO INTERVIEW THE WOMAN WHO WAS RECENTLY ATTACKED ONLINE BY SEXIST PIG MICHAEL TRACEY WAS BECAUSE SHE IS NOW USING HER TWITTER ACCOUNT TO PROMOTE REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER SCOTT RITTER.

WHY, WE ASKED HER, WOULD SHE, A SURVIVOR OF ASSAULT, PROMOTE A MAN ARRESTED MULTIPLE TIMES FOR ATTEMPTING TO USE THE INTERNET TO ENGAGE IN SEX WITH UNDERAGE GIRLS, A MAN CONVICTED OF THIS AND SENT TO PRISON FOR THIS, A REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER -- WHY, WE ASKED, WOULD SHE USE HER TWITTER ACCOUNT TO PROMOTE HIM?

WHY?

DOESN'T SHE CARE ABOUT OTHER VICTIMS?

WE'LL ASSUME SHE WAS YET AGAIN MUNCHING ON HIGH FAT AND GREASY FOOD THIS MORNING AND ONE OF HER LARGE, ROTUND, PUDGY AND SAUSAGE-LIKE FINGERS ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE WRONG BUTTON RESULTING IN HER MISTAKENLY BLOCKING US.

IN OTHER WORDS, TARA READE GOES TO A RESTAURANT AND IS HANDED A MENU. SHE SLOWLY LOOKS OVER EACH PAGE AND THEN TURNS TO THE WAITER AND SAYS "YES."

FROM THE TCI WIRE:

Abdul Latif Rashidf. Who?

It took a year and three days after the election, but Ira finally announced a new president yesterday. The moment was not without drama. ALJAZEERA reports, "Rashid replaced fellow Iraqi Kurd Barham Saleh as head of state after the two-round vote in parliament on Thursday, winning more than 160 votes against 99 for Saleh, an assembly official said. Saleh reportedly walked out of the parliament building as the votes were tallied." Saleh finally leaves. He wasn't content to be president of Iraq, he tried to ignore the Constitution during his tenure and elevate the position of president to that of prime minister. A complicit foreign media helped him out -- in part to make it appear Iraq was more stable than it actually was.

Saleh's hissy fit might make some believe that Abdul is from a different political party. Nope. PUK. They performed dismally in the 2021 elections -- a pattern they've had since the party lied to the Kurds about the health of Jalal Talabani but they got to hold on to the presidency.

War turned Iraq into a land of widows and orphans. The median age in Iraq is 21-years-old. But the leadership never reflects the country which is how 78-year-old Abdul is now president.

78.

You'd think that would bother them after Jalal. 78 is how old Jalal was when he had his stroke and the Talabani's began deceiving Iraq.

As 2012 drew to a close, Jalal, then president of Iraq, had a stroke. The incident took place late on December 17, 2012 (see the December 18, 2012 snapshot) and resulted in Jalal being admitted to Baghdad's Medical Center Hospital. Thursday, December 20th, he was moved to Germany. He remained in Germany for over a year and a half. The Talabani family refused to allow people to visit him in while he was in the hospital for that entire time -- including Speaker of Parliament Osama al-Nujaifi.

When the first wave of rumors that Talabani had either died or was permanently incapacitated, took hold in May of 2013, Jalal was posed for a series of photos that appear to indicate his body was present but that was all.

The photos were compared to the film Weekend At Bernie's in Arabic social media. (In the 1989 film, Andrew McCarthy and Jonathan Silverman play two men who drag the corpse of their boss, Bernie, around and pretend he's alive.)

When Jalal left Iraq the Talabani family was down playing his condition. They were falling back on the 'knee surgery' nonsense.

In May of 2012, Jalal stabbed many Iraqi political leaders in the back and outraged many in the KRG by refusing to allow the no-confidence motion to be passed on. As a result of the outrage directed at him, Jalal retreated to Germany where he remained for months. He needed to have, his flunkies and family insisted, immediate surgery to take care of a life threatening condition. This lie was repeated for weeks and weeks. Jalal had knee surgery.

Karama bit him in his fat ass. Jalal snuck back into Iraq July 19, 2014. He couldn't speak, he couldn't move his own body. He wasn't fit to be president and his family lied to the Iraqi people. That destroyed confidence and its why the PUK continues to suffer each election.

Well suffer in that the voters don't want them. The system is so corrupt that they continue to hold onto power.

Here's fat ass Jalal with Abdul.

That's right. They were brother-in-laws. Shanaz Ibrahim Ahmed has held many jobs -- currently she's the Executor at the Political Bureau of Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK). She and Abdul have three children sons Azos (1982) and Zagros (1988) and daughter Sara (1987). Shanaz and Hero are the daughters of Ibrahim Ahmed -- a Kurdish novelist who rose to be the Secretary General of the KDP in 1953 -- in other words, the same faces, the same family and why Iraqis feel betrayed over and over by the entrenched corruption in the system.

Ahmed has named Mohammed Shia Al Sudani as prime minister-designate.

HOW CAN ONE PERSON BE SO FILLED WITH SO MUCH VANITY YET SO MUCH SELF-LOATHING ALL AT THE SAME TIME.

SUCKING ON A TOOTSIE POP, U.S. PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN DECLARED, "THE WORLD MAY NEVER KNOW."

FROM THE TCI WIRE:

Senator Patty Murray: According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. now has over 21,000 confirmed cases of monkeypox -- more than anywhere else in the world, and my home state of Washington has over 500 cases. I've heard from families who are rightly concerned by how bad this has gotten. And public health officials -- including back in Washington state -- who are frustrated to see our response run into issues we should be prepared for by now. That’s why I continue to push the Biden Administration about my concerns with the monkeypox response, and urge quick action: on testing, treatments, and vaccines, and on clear guidance to the public, health care providers, and state public health officials. So it's reassuring to see we are making progress. On testing, capacity has increased one thousand percent, and FDA just approved a faster track for additional tests. On vaccines, BARDA is helping to stand up a new vaccine fill and finish site in Michigan, HHS is working to expand the number of distribution sites in states, and the Administration's advice for splitting doses has greatly stretched our vaccine supply. On outreach, the Administration has started working with states to make vaccines available at events with many people from the LGBTQ+ community in attendance. And perhaps most importantly -- the rate of new cases is going down. Now that is all encouraging news, but let me be clear -- we must remain vigilant in our response. And these promising improvements don;t excuse the issues I have been hearing about from communities, state health officials, and advocates from the start of this outbreak. Patients have spoken out about how hard it is to get tested -- some even waited days, despite having clear symptoms. Providers have had to jump through hoops to get their patients treatments. And I'm constantly talking to public health officials in my home state of Washington, who have told me how communications with states could have been far clearer -- and faster, and how the challenges in accessing tests and vaccines have delayed our response. I know states have especially struggled with the federal government's decision to forgo the system we typically use to distribute vaccines, the one we are already using for COVID vaccines. When it comes to vaccine distribution, some shipments have been sent to the wrong state, and even spoiled after storage at the wrong temperature. There have been issues with vaccine supply too -- like when thousands of vaccine doses were delayed because FDA had yet to inspect the new plant they were from, or when the Biden Administration missed an opportunity to procure more vaccines at a crucial point in this outbreak. And again, we are seeing inequities worsen this outbreak for some communities. Advocates in the LGBTQ+ community -- who have faced the vast majority of cases -- have also made clear they feel they are being overlooked, or in some instances stigmatized. We need to keep focusing and improving on outreach and on getting information and resources -- like vaccines-- to those who are most in need, and most at risk. And that must include communities of color, who we know don't have equitable access to vaccines. This is especially important as early data suggest Black and Latino communities are disproportionately burdened by this outbreak. We must do better. We need to be applying what we learned from the COVID response, and providing the resources communities have made clear they need. Of course, there is an enormous difference between this and the COVID pandemic, which is: thanks to decades of investment in smallpox research, we already had tests, treatments, and vaccines ready to go before this crisis even began. That should serve as a reminder to all of us about the immense value of investing in public health preparedness. But it's also why the stumbles in getting these tools deployed were especially frustrating and inexcusable. To learn from this, we need to be clear-eyed about what went wrong. Not just on challenges we faced in the last several months, but that we have faced for decades --challenges that, to be frank, have spanned many Administrations, not just this one. For example, we had over 20 million vials of smallpox vaccine in our national stockpile -- but they weren;t replaced as they expired over the course of a decade. I know I join my Ranking Member and members of this Committee when I say we have to do better -- not just on COVID, not just on monkeypox -- but on public health threats, period. Because we know there will be more. Just last week New York declared an emergency due to polio -- yet another public health risk we need to watch closely. So I want to hear from our witnesses today about not just what they are doing right now to improve our response to the monkeypox outbreak -- and fast -- but also how we can fix this in the long term and make sure the stumbles of the past couple months never happen again. I want to know what you and the Administration are doing to make sure we have enough tests, treatments, and vaccines for this outbreak-- and get them where they need to go while also maintaining an adequate stock of supplies for any smallpox threats. What are you doing to improve outreach to the LGBTQ+ community, address the disproportionate harm to Black and Latino communities, fight stigma and misinformation, and right the inequities we[ve seen in our response so far? How are we making the most of new research to develop promising vaccines and therapeutics, and then make them more quickly available -- while continuing to uphold the gold standard of safety and effectiveness? And are we getting schools and colleges everything they need to stay open and keep students and the school community safe? I'm glad CDC has provided guidance for K-12 schools -- and fortunately the science tells us elementary and secondary school kids are not at high risk right now, and CDC has also released resources for colleges which is critical with students returning to campus this fall. We need to make sure colleges and universities are equipped to prevent potential outbreaks as students move into dorms and live in close quarters with each other. I realize you've got your work cut out for you on all of this, especially with COVID still raging -- but there's no reason for us to fall behind. So I'm going to keep pushing you here, because families back in Washington state and across the country are counting on you to get it right. That's also why I'm going to keep pushing my colleagues here in Congress about the need for funding to support all this work. I know I'm not the only one here with concerns about the monkeypox response but we can't just say 'this isn't working' without providing the funding to end this outbreak and build the public health system Americans deserve. So I will continue to work with colleagues on both sides of the aisle, and push to deliver the resources that will help get families the testing, treatments, and vaccines they need. And I'm interested in hearing from the witnesses on what the needs are when it comes to investing in our monkeypox response. It is also important to me we continue to keep our eyes on the horizon when it comes to future outbreaks and pandemics, and build a stronger public health system for whatever threat comes next. As the saying goes -- an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. That starts with building a world class public health system, rather than one that lags behind our peers. Our communities deserve to be as safe as anyone in the world, which is why Senator Burr and I are continuing to work to pass our PREVENT Pandemics Act. Our bipartisan legislation implements the lessons from our COVID response and improves our policies and processes on issues like strengthening supply chains, improving management of our national stockpile, modernizing data systems, and other items which would address many of the challenges we've faced with monkeypox. But a strong public health system also requires strong investments. Because our public health system was underfunded before COVID struck -- and it has been overwhelmed ever since. We have to end the cycle of crisis and complacency by making sustained investments that allow us to build, and maintain, robust public health infrastructure at all levels. And I'm going to keep pushing for all of these steps, because we should all know by now just how much is at stake. I can tell you, families in Seattle know, parents in Spokane know, nurses in Yakima know, workers in Olympia know, people across Washington state, and across the country, know: COVID was never going to be the last public health crisis we face -- and neither is monkeypox. The question is not whether there will be a new threat -- it is when it will strike and whether we will be ready. The truth is, the monkeypox response so far has not been encouraging -- but there are some clear signs of progress, and there are clear steps we can, and should, take to improve. And I don't just want to hear today about the steps you will be taking -- I want to see action. And you better believe I'll be watching closely.

She was speaking Wednesday at the US Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions. Appearing before the committee were Dr Rochelle Walensky (Director of the CDC), Dawn O'Connell (Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response), Dr. Robert Califf (FDA Commissioner) and Dr Anthony Fauci (NIH Director). Murray is the Committee Chair, Senator Richard Burr is the Ranking Member.

Committee Chair Patty Murray: [. . .] I say, frankly, too many missteps were made early on in the response and a couple hundred cases turned into 21,000. It is unacceptable to communities who already experience barriers to accessing healthcare like the LGBTQ+ and the Black and the Latino communities that are hardest hit by this outbreak. Access to testing was an early challenge in the monkeypox response with many people reporting significant delays in both accessing the test and learning their results. To continue to have these challenges around testing is just simply unacceptable. So, Dr Walensky, let me start with you. How is the CDC working to make sure that tests are more accessible and results are available earlier?

Dr Rochelle Walensky: Thank you, Senator, for that question. One of the big challenges that we had in terms of access to testing was both patients understanding that they were presenting with a new infection and providers understanding that this was a new infection that they had to test for. Indeed, another important clinical consideration was that people were coming in requesting a test when they had no symptoms and they had no rash. As Dr Califf noted, the test for this infection is a swab of the rash so if there is no other FDA approved test, we need to have a rash in order to conduct those tests. So much of what we've done -- and I should mention that we've always had more capacity than we've had tests coming in -- to date, we've used about 14 to 20% of our capacity. But to address these access issues, we had to work with clinicians, we had to work with patients, we had to do an extraordinary amount of outreach so that providers would understand how to test, patients would understand when to come in for a test and our public health partners would know not to gatekeep those tests. And so that was a work that we did early on.

Yes, Walensky, and that is your job. That is your defined job. That's what the CDC does. Stop making excuses and pretending you were suddenly tasked with new responsibilities.

Chair Patty Murray: Dr Califf, Secretary [Xavier] Becerra recently declared that FDA can use the emergency use authorization pathway for monkeypox tests. How will that improve the availability of new tests and what steps are you taking to improve on the progress that you've made?

Dr Robert Califf: First of all, let me concur with Dr Walensky, there's never been a shortage of tests but there's been a shortage of access to tests because of inefficiencies in the system so the EUA authority has enabled us -- we've given one EUA already but we also have five commercial labs which are offering the tests at this point and we issued a guidance just the other day which, uhm, makes it clear that individual institutions that are developing laboratory developed tests should proceed ahead and we've given people clear guidance templates for developing their tests and figuring out if they work. So I'd say, on all fronts, the gates are open under a watchful eye because we also must keep in mind that one of the lessons from COVID was that when the gates were open a lot of the tests turned out to be not so good, got a lot of them out there and we had to reign them back in.

Chair Patty Murray: I -- Well, look. I'm encouraged by the declining cases. But it really is imperative that we remain vigilant. And despite efforts by HHS to increase access to vaccines, some people in my home state of Washington still go to great lengths to get one -- including crossing the border into Canada to get one. Now people, understandably, want to be vaccinated before they get exposed but that means we need more vaccines. Ms. O'Connell, some serious stumbles were made this year when it came to our vaccine supply. What have you done to make sure that never happens again? And what are you doing to increase the supply and distribution of vaccines right now.

Dawn O'Connell: Chairman Murray, thank you so much for that question. What's most important to us is that those who need access to this vaccine get it. So if you continue to hear from constituents that are unable to access the vaccine or having to cross the border, please let us know. We are in the business right now of knocking down those hurdles and making sure the vaccine can be accessed. We did take a very small stockpile that was intended for small pox that was eventually intended to be lyophilized -- freeze dried -- for small pox and converted it to this active monkeypox response. And that required a couple of challenging problems to solve. We moved the fist 372,000 vials, as I mentioned in my opening statement, immediately. We needed FDA to approve -- and they were terrific partners moving quickly -- to approve that second manufacturing line that began, uh, drew the 800,000 vials we were waiting for. That's what it manufactured on. We needed that approval to happen before we could deploy those. FDA worked quickly and we got those out in July. We have also ordered an additional 5.5 million vials of the bulk drug substance that was intended to be lyophilized for small pox -- we have ordered that to be filled and finished and shipped to the United States. And the 2.5 million of those will be manufactured in the United States.

The hearing can best be summed up with one statement from Ranking Member Richard Burr, "You failed on vaccines."

Lisa Kudrow now wants to weigh in on Native Americans

BULLY BOY PRESS & CEDRIC'S BIG MIX & THOMAS FRIEDMAN IS A GREAT MAN & ANN'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL AID TABLE

AS THE ACADEMY AWARDS OFFERS AN APOLOGY TO SACHEEN LITTLEFEATHER, PROMINENT RACIST LISA KUDROW, FRESH OFF LAST WEEK'S SCANDAL (SEE "Lisa Kudrow needs to apologize," "Lisa Kudrow exposes herself as a racist," "Grand Dragon Lisa Kudrow" AND "Iraq snapshot") STATES HER BELIEF THAT NO APOLOGY IS NEEDED.

"YOU KNOW," KUDROW TOLD THESE REPORTERS -- MUST CREDIT BULLY BOY PRESS & CEDRIC'S BIG MIX & THOMAS FRIEDMAN IS A GREAT MAN & ANN'S BIG MIX -- "THE THING IS THAT PEOPLE WENT TO LIKE BRANDEIS UNIVERSITY, OKAY?, AND SO LIKE THEY DID NOT KNOW INDIANS -- EXCUSE ME, NATIVE AMERICANS -- IS THAT WHAT THEY WANT TO BE CALLED THESE DAYS? IT'S SO HARD TO KEEP UP. SO ANYWAY, LIKE IT WAS PERFECTLY NORMAL TO LAUGH AT HER AND POINT AT HER AND MOCK HER BECAUSE WE ARE THE NORM AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT."

I DO IMPORTANT CHARACTER, SO IMPORTANT AND CLASSY THAT THEY NEVER FIND AN AUDIENCE. I REALLY HAVE NO CAREER OUTSIDE OF 'FRIENDS' AND MAYBE THAT'S WHY I'M SO BITTER. AND ANGRY"

FROM THE TCI WIRE:

Starting with monkeypox, Benjamin Mateus (WSWS) reports:

Given the rising rates of monkeypox infections across the US and the limited available doses of the Jynneos vaccine (Imvanex in Europe) made by Bavarian Nordic, the only authorized vaccine against the orthopoxvirus, last week the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an emergency use authorization (EUA) to ration the vaccine through the use of intradermal injections.

FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert M. Califf said, “In recent weeks, the monkeypox virus has continued to spread at a rate that has made it clear our current vaccine supply will not meet the current demand. The FDA quickly explored other scientifically appropriate options to facilitate access to the vaccine for all impacted individuals. By increasing the number of available doses, more individuals who want to be vaccinated against monkeypox will now have the opportunity to do so.”

What the commissioner is explaining is called fractional monkeypox vaccine dosing, or a dose-sparing measure. Instead of giving the vaccine deep into the muscle, one-fifth of the standard dose is injected between the layers of skin. Evidence for the intradermal route was obtained based on a 2015 clinical study conducted by the government which demonstrated it could provide a similar immune response to intramuscular injection. As a result, the total number of available doses has been expanded by five-fold or five doses per vial.

Dr. Peter Marks, director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, speaking during the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) seminar to inform clinicians of the change in the interim guidance on the new practice, estimated that approximately 1.7 million Americans were at risk of contracting monkeypox. At least 3 million doses would be needed, although only half that amount would be available by year’s end.

The fractional dosing offered the only viable alternative as the ACAM2000 smallpox vaccine, which is available in abundance, carries a significant risk of myocarditis and rare but known complications of death. Specifically, ACAM2000 is contraindicated in immunocompromised individuals.

Yet even as an intradermal injection, the Jynneos vaccine (a smallpox vaccine) still requires two doses to be given 28 days apart to complete the series. It has also not been approved for children under the age of 18. Jynneos has also never been verified to be effective against monkeypox, and little is known about its role as postexposure prophylaxis.

We've called out, repeatedly last week, Joe's 'answer' to take 400,00 vaccines and divide them up into fifths to create '2 million vaccines.' We've pointed out that the basis for this 'answer' is one study -- one clinical study -- that was done back in 2015. Now, thanks to MJ Lee's reporting for CNN, we know that among those objecting to this move? The CEO of Bavarian Nordic Paul Chaplin. Why should that especially register? Because as Lee reports, Chaplin was the co-author of that 2015 study -- of the only study that this decision has been based upon. Lee notes:

Chaplin, the CEO of Bavarian Nordic, also raised concerns. CNN reported that Chaplin wrote in a letter Tuesday to Califf and HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra that he had concerns about the "very limited safety data available" on the newly announced vaccination strategy, and that a relatively high percentage of people in the clinical study -- 20% -- did not get their second shot.

On BREAKING POINTS, Krystal and Saager have a video that confuses me.

What is their point? Gay people are being hurt by this? I don't see that in the way that they're claiming. The people who are being hurt by this are the ones living in a stupid bubble who think they're not at risk because they aren't male -- and gay or bi male at that.

It is not now, nor has it ever been a gay disease. Monkeypox has been around forever. That may 'change' in that the World Health Organization is seeking another name for it and asking for public input. Maggie Baska (PINK NEWS) reports:

WHO said the decision was made after meeting with a group of “global experts” this week and in line with current best practices for naming diseases.

The organisation said the goal of renaming monkeypox variants is to “avoid causing offense to any cultural, social, national, regional, professional, or ethnic groups, and minimize any negative impact on trade, travel, tourism or animal welfare”.

WHO said the new names for the monkeypox clades will “take effect immediately”. The health agency announced it was also opening a forum for the public to suggest new names for the disease, the Associated Press reported.

Ireland's JOURNAL reports:

THERE IS A DANGER that commentary around the current global monkeypox outbreak could cause a false sense of security about the level of risk posed by the virus, a leading Irish virologist has said.

There have now been over 100 reported cases of monkeypox in Ireland since the start of the outbreak in May. Around 30,000 cases have been reported across 80 countries where monkeypox is not endemic and the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC).

While the majority of cases in this outbreak have been among gay and bisexual men and other men who have sex with men (gbMSM), experts have cautioned against linking transmission solely to sexual activity and have warned that messaging, if not managed correctly, risks stigmatising people.

Speaking to The Journal‘s The Explainer podcast this week, Dr Cillian de Gascun, Director of the National Virus Reference Laboratory said the terminology around the outbreak can be “challenging”, with some referring to it as a sexually transmitted infection (STI).

“Traditionally, we wouldn’t have considered it an STI because when we think about sexually transmitted infections we often think about pathogens, like chlamydia or gonorrhoea, that require direct sexual contact – be that penetrative or otherwise – for transmission,” he explained.

“Now, when we look at monkeypox we know that’s not the case. It’s typically skin-to-skin direct contact, but it can also be respiratory droplets or through contaminated fomites or objects in an infected person’s households.”

Dr de Gascun said referring to monkeypox as an STI “automatically causes some people to think they are not at risk because perhaps they’re not sexually active or they haven’t been in contact with somebody sexually in a period of time or they haven’t seen somebody with lesions”.

And let's be clear on something, Saager, if I were a gay man and I knew you and you came up to me to lecture me about my 'behavior,' I think I'd punch you in the face (a) for your homophobia, (b) for your assumption that I needed you to explain current events to me because you thought I was too stupid to understand them myself and (c) to help you calm your ass down because you were clearly in the midst of a panic.

It is not a gay disease and the sooner everyone grasp that, the sooner things will be better. Are gay men more at risk, it appears right now that they are. But they're not solely at risk and things change and infections can morph. POLITICO notes:

It may be too late to stop monkeypox from circulating in the U.S. permanently.

The Biden administration was caught off-guard when the CDC confirmed monkeypox in a Massachusetts man on May 18. It was part of the first major outbreak outside parts of Africa where the virus is endemic, an unusual event that quickly spun into a global health crisis.

Caught off guard? What was the lazy, senile man prepared for? Clearly, it wasn't to govern. There was a pandemic in place when he was running for the presidency. Back then, he spoke of how he would address it and all that he felt Donald Trump was doing wrong about COVID. Now Joe's president and he tells us it's hear and we're all going to catch it and . . .

When is this dumb ass do-nothing ever prepared?
