Monkeypox - are you worried?
 
Now that the WHO have raised the threat level to a PHEIC (Public Health Emergency of International Concern), one step away from a pandemic, which is how Covid came to us, are you worried about this new virus? I mean, they're saying at the moment it's only really showing up in homosexual men, but hell, that's what they said about AIDS originally, and look what happened there. Not that the risk to gay men is to be discounted, of course, but do you believe/fear they're just hiding some data and that Monkeypox is a more virulent and transmissable disease than they're saying? Do you intend to get vaccinated? Are you considering getting rid of your pet monkey?

Well, let's see, I'm not only not gay, I'm also celibate. I don't shoot up and I haven't had any blood transfusions. Monkeypox apparently isn't airborne.

So, no, I'm not concerned.

No, just another ploy from the liberal democrats trying to steal the upcoming elections by scaring people into staying home and vote by mail. It's the same reason that a supposed Covid surge is underway. It's getting old. It's so obvious.

What's your address I'm going to mail you my balls. The right one will say Trump and the left one will say Hillary, please circle one.

TIL the Dems apparently run the WHO. Makes sense though, as we all know every thing in the world revolves solely around the US

Obvious if you're a delusional ’thinker’ addicted to conspiracy theories.

Are you making a pun, or did you just not pick up on the sarcasm?

You know what I'm saying is true. You have no argument, so you resort to simply cursing and insulting. Examine yourself!

I’ll examine them for you so long as you promise not to quote Marx & Engels during the process.

If it ends up turning into the next AIDS crisis, then I'll be worried. Until then, maybe we have to stop panicking every time a new version of the common cold comes out. Otherwise, we might as well kill ourselves. I'm tired of living in fear.

I thought Groucho was okay. Never found the others funny. Groucho carried the whole team.

As a Harpo stan this offends me.

Trollheart 07-25-2022 05:11 AM

Problem with Harpo is that he never knew when to keep his mouth shut.
