FYI there is a vaccine available for mpox
fractiousrabbit@reddit
Oh, well thank gawd our national health institutions will be led by an antivaxer with literal worm tunnels in his brain!
TB12_GOATx7@reddit
He's definitely not antivax. You are purposely spreading misinformation

He is definitely antivax. You are purposely spreading misinformation.
TB12_GOATx7@reddit
"If vaccines are working for somebody, I’m not going to take them away. People ought to have choice, and that choice ought to be informed by the best information," he said. "So I’m going to make sure scientific safety studies and efficacy are out there, and people can make individual assessments about whether that product is going to be good for them."
StaffUnable1226@reddit
“There is no vaccine that is safe” -rfk jr
TB12_GOATx7@reddit
As you casually ignore the quote I sent 💀
Cailida@reddit
So which one is it? He's said both.
TB12_GOATx7@reddit
You tell me. Clearly he's not going to take vaccines from anyone but its pretty hard to get you guys to understand thay
Cailida@reddit
There are absolutely no safety rails to prevent him from doing so, other than Big Pharma pushing back. The dude is not in his right mind, at all. He contradicts himself all the time and has absolutely no experience for a position like this. But that's the point. Trump works for Putin. The goal here is to destroy the American government, and it's pretty damn obvious. Right now the rich are partying and getting richer, while companies are already beginning layoffs to offset the coming Tariffs. Seems Trump supporters do not understand how Tariffs work. These people do not give two shits about you, and you're going to find that out very soon.
TB12_GOATx7@reddit
Trump works for putin so much that Hillary had to have a fake document made to make it look like trump works for putin.
Lol destroy the American government 🤣 😂 better than SNL
But I take it you now support big pharma and corporations? I mean after all kamala was going to "go after them"
And speaking of contradicting kamala is basically equal with trump in that sense lol
You people are actually sounding like trump supporters at this point with how ridiculous this stuff you come up with looks
Cailida@reddit
I feel bad for how blind you are. Hope you get all you voted for and more.
StaffUnable1226@reddit
Oh I'm sorry, did RFK Jr not say what I quoted him as saying?
syynapt1k@reddit
He absolutely is anti-vax. He's a full-blown conspiracy theorist.

ballskindrapes@reddit
His actions say he is anti vax...his empty words are just that
Only utter stupid fucking morons believe someone who has a history of doing a stupid fucking thing when they say "I don't do stupid fucking things" when there is bountiful proof they do indeed do stupid thigns.
TB12_GOATx7@reddit
Actions such as?
ballskindrapes@reddit
Someone already linked to him disseminating anti Vax info and getting 84 Samoan killed....
TB12_GOATx7@reddit
Not to me.... can you send it?
IsItAnyWander@reddit
Lol, are you afraid of typing out god?
tree-for-hire@reddit
“Worm tunnels.” I love it. Might have to use that one if you don’t mind.
Cailida@reddit
There won't be when JFk gets a hold of the health Dept. Congrats to everyone who voted for Trump, stupidity, and the downfall of America.
Useful-Ambassador-87@reddit
Only currently being offered to higher risk populations though
District_Wolverine23@reddit
Nah, in my state I was able to get it no questions ask. Check your local pharmacies / ask your doctor. You have to go out of your way to ask.
rfmjbs@reddit
CVS carries the mpox vaccine in Minnesota. State health departments should also offer it for at risk populations.
Active_Indication749@reddit
Vaccines don’t work. Ask your fearless fcking leader
Jestercopperpot72@reddit
Get it before the beginning of next year or it might be more difficult.
slapstick_nightmare@reddit
It’s offered at Walgreens, fyi :)
MORE_COFFEE@reddit
Of course there is. $$$
Throwawayconcern2023@reddit
My cortex worm will get it!
Ok-Addendum-9420@reddit
How long will RFK Jr. be around to mess up the HHS if he doesn’t get vaccinated for any of the pending viruses?
kaltag@reddit
Right on time now that the election is over. Keep that fear mongering going!
RelativeCalm1791@reddit
99% of those infected are gay men. So if you don’t fall in this group, you’ll probably be alright. Transmission is very rare otherwise.
RoyalZeal@reddit
Covid, mpox and H5N1 walk into a bar. The bartender dies a week later after having shared his 'gift' with his entire family.
Theres no punch line. It isnt a joke. We are barreling towards a mixed pandemic that our crippled healthcare system cannot accommodate.
arrow74@reddit
Thankfully the Covid vaccines are effective, although they only help so much with the long term effects of the illness.
Mpox already has an effective vaccine if it begins to spread. It'll be a scary couple of months while they ramp up production, but it will end.
The CDC has already greenlit human trials of MRNA vaccines for H5N1. So hopefully those go well.
Survive till next May and you'll make it
Shortymac09@reddit
What happens under Trump though? What happens if RFK really does run the CDC.
arrow74@reddit
That's the wild card, although it doesn't benefit those in power to let so much of the working population die
HaveYouAwoken@reddit
Even Pfizer says their vaccines aren’t effective are you really still on that train?
arrow74@reddit
https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-pfizer-transmission-european-parliament-950413863226
They said that they did not test if it effected virus transmission. So yeah they still tested on if it prevented the illness for the vaccinated individual, but not how it effected the viruses transmission in breakthrough/asymptomatic cases.
Please stop spreading misinformation and being a conspiracy theorist. That's not helpful to anyone
lilith_-_-@reddit
Those of us who survive the sick can burn the dead
ballskindrapes@reddit
Conservatives will be screeching about "how could democrats create yet another plaque" and dying much more frequently while everyone else will be getting vaccines and surviving.
Conservativism is a Darwin award salivating for the next disease.
Toof@reddit
When the cases are equally involving both men and women, I'll really start to worry about the transmission of mpox. I'll definitely keep my eye on this one.
pixelbased@reddit
Sorry - but during the last round, all the out and open gays went and got vaccinated because they weren’t having anything that puts warts on their cock and ass preventing them from getting booty.
This time, it’s the downlow guys that are going to be transmitting this shit and bringing it back to their unsuspecting girlfriends and wives.

Shortymac09@reddit
The LGBTQ community really did organize and coordinate a vaccine program.
After AIDS they know better than to trust the government.
Toof@reddit
Yeah, well, I'm in a monogamous relationship, and if mpox enters into it, the skin ulcers would be the least of my life problems.
rfmjbs@reddit
That's already the reality in Africa. Truck drivers moving between countries with a lady friend in each stop have already spread the outbreak.
Shortymac09@reddit
It isn't an STD!

Monkey pox and bird flu let’s fuckin gooooooo 2025 about to be lit

I’m far more worried about /r/h5n1_avianflu since it just pretty much adapted to humans
adam3vergreen@reddit
Let’s not get alarmist, it’s not at H2H yet. It isn’t time to be concerned just a general uptick of concern if we’re being completely honest

Turkstache@reddit
Great! Just in time for another admin that will fuck away a chance at appropriate reponse.
Icy-Mix-3977@reddit
If it's happening now, how can you put this administrations lack of response onto the next administration. Say what you like, but trump shut down borders to prevent spread the last time long before it got to this point.
Hesitation-Marx@reddit
Funny, I distinctly remember literally pulling out hair because he refused to shut down flights from overseas for any period of time, even though it was too late by then.
I also remember Kushner’s fuckery with PPE. Oh, and Trump undoing the pandemic preparedness team set up for years beforehand.
Apprehensive_Bit4726@reddit
What color was your hair and are thinking of doing more self harm?!! Reddit cares ya know.
Hesitation-Marx@reddit
My hair was and still is reddish brown, and no, this wasn’t self-harm as such.
Apprehensive_Bit4726@reddit
Well, if you're "LiTeRaLy" pulling your hair out because your politician (who had no clue nor care who you are) didn't get elected... you've got bigger issues than self harming.
Hesitation-Marx@reddit
You misread my post but okay.
Trump had an opportunity to mitigate COVID in early 2020 and refused to take it. That’s why I had my fists clenched in my hair.
Do you understand now?
Apprehensive_Bit4726@reddit
No... I didn't miss anything. You have now changed your "literally pulling my hair out" to "had my fists clenched in my hair"
Which one is it? You sound like a politician with your flip flopping of claims/stories.
Icy-Mix-3977@reddit
Do you remember fauchi cooking up covid in a lab in China? We, the American people and the whole world, were attacked by chemical warfare to stop a president. And even the peppers on reddit eat it up I'll be ignoring this delusional sub reddit thanks for your time
4rp70x1n@reddit
Have you really lost your mind enough to let yourself be brainwashed into believing that Fauci cooked up COVID in China just to "stop" Trump? If he's so sly and powerful, there were plenty of other ways to "stop" Trump that didn't involve infecting the entire planet.
But seriously, do you remember Trump admitting, on tape, that he was lying to the American people about how deadly COVID was? How he told us it was "just a cold," when he knew damn well it was deadly? Bob Woodward remembers and has the audio, since Trump admitted it to him, on record.
darkdaysahead999@reddit
Shut the fuck up you delusional ass rash. Go jerk off to your orange god in silence.
Hesitation-Marx@reddit
Teardownstrongholds@reddit
No, he didn't. Conservatives were more worried about the economy than stopping a pandemic.
Icy-Mix-3977@reddit
This is a fact of reality you can't distort for me. Closing our borders was the only thing he did, I disagreed with. He was under pressure from the left to do it, but it was his call.
It looks like the democrats had to release another pandemic because trump won. I wonder if it was cooked up in one of those Ukrainian bio labs.
Am I confused, or is this the prepper sub reddit. How do you prep if you don't accept reality? I guess this is for all the zombie and alien abduction type of preppers. I'll leave my tin foil hat at the door on my way out.
ballskindrapes@reddit
The fact you say democrats released a disease shows you have nonidea what is going on with anything, and is exactly the type that causes people to associate preppers with crazy mentally ill conspiracy theorists.
Apprehensive_Bit4726@reddit
My man!
Didn't you know reality isn't allowed here?!
citizenduMotier@reddit
Loll Mannnnn. Those Ukrainians are some crafty..
P0Rt1ng4Duty@reddit
He 'shut down the borders' but allowed Americans back into the country who had been traveling abroad as though he didn't understand that those Americans could be bringing the virus in.
It's like seeing a swarm of killer bees outside and closing all of the windows except one.

Send all our shit to Putin again; block supplies from reaching blue state hospitals

I'm sure the incoming administrations HHS will be perfectly positioned to handle this next inevitable pandemic with a mandated regimen of raw milk, sunshine and hydroxichlorlquine.

TrekRider911@reddit
If you read the book “Hot zone “ about the Ebola outbreak, you realize how many us cdc and navy doctors are on the ground fighting disease. I can’t see those programs continuing under the incoming administration.
thisusedtobemorefun@reddit
Yeah I feel for you guys who isn't a total R-party loyalist. There's some dark days ahead.
The upcoming purge of civil and public servants has been openly discussed for years, but I don't think enough people took the threat seriously up until the last few weeks (of course when it was too late).
CNN reported today that the incoming administration has been submitting document requests to departments and agencies using key culture war and political terms so that they can "make lists" of the people deemed 'the enemy within' - career staff who will refuse to implement, or will slow-walk, what they consider to be immoral or illegal policies under the incoming administration.
They'll be the first of many to be fired and replaced by people, qualified or otherwise, off the other lists prepared by the Heritage Foundation who will unquestionably do as their told.

Put two n two together. Earlier this month. Lab monkeys broke out and are now on the loose. Now monkey pox, lab monkeys, who created covid? Now did they create this mpox just like Covid?

Armouredmonk989@reddit
Wrong strain again there are two strains.
jkrlv123@reddit
It most likely is due to the increase in unscreened illegal immigration into California. The legal citizens of the state should be rising up against Newsome and the Democrats who control the state.
earthspaceman@reddit
Trump's the right one to deal with this outbreak.
JensenJustJensen@reddit
If it combines with bird flu it'll be flying monkey pox.
Nemo_Shadows@reddit
The flood gates were opened for a reason and one of those reasons is for profits, the other is invasion and occupation, there are other weapons in an arsenal besides guns and ammo, it is also one of the best ways to hide those types of weapons by keeping everyone focused on just the guns and ammo.
"SUCKERS" come to mind, "BIG SUCKERS" and those responsible are seldom if ever held responsible for their actions.

I bet it was because your original comment was such a silly statement.

No silly is you believing that covid was a natural caused virus and that the covid vaccines actually worked.
gcko@reddit
So who’s “they” ?
Ifyouwant67@reddit
The same ones that took it upon themselves to destroy our economy because they didn't like the orange man. How many of our freedoms were destroyed during that time.

Not as many as after 9/11 and your boy GW signed the Patriot Act into law.

You know what they say about assuming. GW wasn't my boy. Just curious, do you remember Bush shutting down small businesses, shutting down schools, telling citizens to stay at home, or you're gonna kill grandma. Yeah, neither do I. You also left the best part out. Your boys Obama and Biden renewed and expanded the Patriot Act to what it is today. Enjoy your chaos.

CastleBravo88@reddit
The person diagnosed with clade I mpox had recently traveled from Eastern Africa, where an mpox outbreak is ongoing. The person was treated at a local medical facility and released, the CDC said. The person has been isolating at home and their symptoms are improving. The state and CDC are working to identify and follow up with potential contacts.
daviddjg0033@reddit
CDC: note the three week exposure to symptoms: Typically, mpox symptoms start within 21 days of exposure to the virus. If you have flu-like symptoms, you will likely develop a rash 1–4 days later. If you have symptoms, such as a rash, visit a healthcare provider.
A person with mpox can spread it to others from the time symptoms start until the rash has fully healed and a fresh layer of skin has formed.
New data show that some people can spread mpox to others from one to four days before their symptoms appear. It's not clear how many people this has affected during the ongoing global outbreak that began in 2022. There is currently no evidence showing that people who never have symptoms have spread the virus to someone else. CDC will continue to monitor the latest information about how mpox spreads.
