Eleven countries are investigating possible cases of monkeypox as of Friday, including the United States where a second possible case was reported in New York City Thursday night.

The disease is normally geographically limited to parts of west and central Africa, according to the World Health Organization.

The first U.S. case was reported in Massachusetts on Wednesday.

Canada on Thursday confirmed two monkeypox cases and is investigating another 15, officials said. In Europe, officials have suspected or confirmed cases in eight countries: The United Kingdom, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Sweden, Belgium, France and Germany.

1. Here comes smallpox shots and boosters.

We should have never stopped giving them.

2. You all realize that the Red Hats are going to blame Gay Men for this.....

Just going to put that warning out there, because its coming, if that little fascist on Fox News (Tucker Carlson) hasn't gone there already.

So prepare yourselves for the anti-sodomy laws being floated as "Public Health protection"

3. How can gay men be blamed?

Is it concentrated in the gay community?

4. Many of the cases reported involve "men who have sex with other men"...

I would be concerned that it may spread further during upcoming Pride events.
I agree that the far right might use this in the same way Reagan's far right blamed gays for AIDS.
