COVID disproportionately affected minorities due historically lower income, which comes with less access to health care. Most people laughed at that fact and completely dismissed it.

I got my stop watch running right now to see how long it takes for the government to pass LGBTQLMNOP specific bills to “combat this heinous disease ravaging all those brave humans who are Americans just like you and I”

At this point, I think politicians are just trying to figure out how to send them money behind this without making it sound like they are confirming what most people have already been saying.

Everybody knows this, hence the reason everybody calls it cozypox.

But the real danger is that some of these nasty down low nikkas is sleeping with the women and tainting the pool of women that straight men are sleeping with, and this is how it's carrying over to the heterosexual population.
This is why you never just dismiss a disease as gay people's problem. They will infect the rest of eventually if nothing is done about it, because straight women are out her fukking gay dudes too, not knowing it. Seen it with aids, ignoring it because it just gays until it eventually become a global issuel.

Numbers would be way higher outside of the lgbtqi community if it were that simple. It has to be long-prolonged contact with the infected individual.
You are absolutely correct according to the CDC.

"Monkeypox can spread to anyone through prolonged, close, personal, often skin-to-skin contact, as well as through contact with objects, fabrics (clothing, bedding, or towels), and surfaces that have been used by someone with monkeypox, or contact with respiratory secretions, through kissing and other face-to-face ...Aug 5, 2022"

The data states otherwise now, hence the WHO's upheaval over rapidly renaming the "Monkeypox" virus.


Your comprehension is truly reprehensible. :mjlol:



I also added this dictionary excerpt so you couldn't sidetrack & wiggle out of your L with your usual intersectional, bullshyt babble.

now (that)
conjunction
US
/ˈnɑʊ (ðət)/


Why do you think any of that helps your case at all? :why:


WHO's campaign to rename monkeypox isn't from "now", they started talking about it back in May, when the very first cases were being reported, and announced it officially in early June.


At that point the "face" of monkeypox was clearly black people in the press, which was one the main issues cited when they were talking about renaming it. When we're talking about the "face" of the disease we're talking about how its being stigmatized, not the actual case #'s.




According to Bloomberg/TIME, other groups have also warned against the media's portrayal of monkeypox, particularly the images used to show infected patients and their symptoms. For example, the Foreign Press Association of Africa has asked western media to stop using photos of African patients to highlight outbreaks in Europe and the United States.

"We find that very discriminatory, we find that very stigmatizing and to some extent … I find it very racist," said Christian Happi, director of the African Center of Excellence for Genomics of Infectious Diseases at Redeemer's University in Nigeria. "The mainstream media, instead of showing pictures of people that are presenting with the lesions, which are white men, they keep putting forward pictures of children in Africa and Africans. And there's no connection."

"The prevailing perception in the international media and scientific literature is that [monkeypox virus] is endemic in people in some African countries," the scientists wrote. "In the context of the current global outbreak, continued reference to, and nomenclature of this virus being African is not only inaccurate but is also discriminatory and stigmatizing."

No shyt sherlock. I've already addressed this previously.

Notice they're trying to change the name now that white homosexual men are the face of the virus.

You use now that to give an explanation of a new situation:

Just another failed attempt on your part to come up with anything to convolute & clean up your inaccurate, short sighted statements. :pachaha:

You really can't be this obtuse? :what:

Dumb nikka logic at it's finest. :mjlol:

WHO calls emergency meeting as monkeypox cases top 100 in Europe

  • Cases in nine European countries, North America, Australia
  • Cause still unclear
  • WHO holds emergency meeting to discuss cases
  • Germany says biggest outbreak ever in Europe

LONDON, May 20 (Reuters) - The World Health Organization was holding an emergency meeting on Friday to discuss the recent outbreak of monkeypox, a viral infection more common to west and central Africa, after over 100 cases were confirmed or suspected in Europe.

In what Germany described as the largest outbreak in Europe ever, cases have been reported in at least nine countries – Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom

Every stock picture shows black skin with monkey pox. Y’all already know what it is. :beli:
Smh at the thumbnail
Using black hands already
I was like why are all the photos being shown black but we all know the man always has a spin or agenda for everything

We've been talking about this on here for months how they were putting black people front-and-center. Dumbass doesn't know the difference between "where are the cases are happening", and "who is the FACE of the disease".

Pretty clear that Black people were being made the public face of the disease, and Africa kept getting mentioned by the media in connection to it, and that was the driving factor behind changing the name.


But I guess your claim is that the Foreign Press Association of Africa and the African Center of Excellence for Genomics of Infectious Diseases at Redeemer's University and the 30 primarily African scientists who called for the name change were all lying when they said that?



"In the context of the current global outbreak, continued reference to, and nomenclature of this virus being African is not only inaccurate but is also discriminatory and stigmatizing. The most obvious manifestation of this is the use of photos of African patients to depict the pox lesions in mainstream media in the global north. Recently, Foreign Press Association, Africa issued a statement urging the global media to stop using images of African people to highlight the outbreak in Europe."

"However, there is an increasing narrative in the media and among many scientists that are trying to link the present global outbreak to Africa or West Africa, or Nigeria. Further, the use of geographical labels for strains of MPXV, specifically, references to the 2022 outbreak as belonging to the “West African” or “Western African” clade, strain, or genotype. We therefore believe that a nomenclature that is neutral, non-discriminatory and non-stigmitizing will be more appropriate for the global health community."

World Health Organization
Multi-country monkeypox outbreak in non-endemic countries

Outbreak at glance


Since 13 May 2022, cases of monkeypox have been reported to WHO from 12 Member States that are not endemic for monkeypox virus, across three WHO regions. Epidemiological investigations are ongoing, however, reported cases thus far have no established travel links to endemic areas. Based on currently available information, cases have mainly but not exclusively been identified amongst men who have sex with men (MSM) seeking care in primary care and sexual health clinics.
