Monkey Pox is back in the news, just in time for the parade of international Pride Festivals that helped spread it to over 100 countries in 2022. It is also not just Monkey Pox (And yes, we should be surprised they even called it that). It is a mutant strain with pandemic potential.
As if previous strains were not?
The virus is a descendent of the deadlier clade 1 mpox strain, but has evolved to become even more infectious and better at evading tests than its predecessor. The concerning discovery was made in Kamituga – a poor, densely populated gold mining town that is feared to be ripe for an explosive outbreak.
Researchers who detailed the virus in a pre-print have called for ‘urgent measures’ to contain the virus and avoid a global outbreak.
‘Without intervention, this localised Kamituga outbreak harbors the potential to spread nationally and internationally,’ the authors wrote.
Part of the problem then was that health authorities and their media marketing teams were reluctant to identify the super spreaders: nearly every case (except for those few popping up in children) was a gay man (you do the math). The 2022 epidemic was traced to massive weeklong Pride festivals around Africa and Europe whose participants carried it to over 100 countries.
They didn’t want to say it too loudly, but the nexus was those massive international Pride gatherings, and it is difficult in that culture to be proud, celebrate, and celibate. The CDC tried to help, sort of, when it said your safest sex partner is… Yourself.
We noted (before public health officials, go figure) that gay men would probably need to add abstinence to their party vocabulary to flatten the curve. It’s a sort of LGBTQ Pride Lent. Forgive me, for I must abstain.
The WHO eventually came around to the idea of telling gay men to take a break from each other in 2022 (until this, too, had passed), so I find the timing of this announcement and this hedging … amusing.
Mpox caused an international epidemic in 2022 when it spread to more than 100 countries and killed hundreds of people – including 58 Americans. That outbreak was caused by the more mild clade 2 strain, which is rarely fatal.
The outbreak that worried health officials then was primarily concentrated within the gay and bisexual male community. It is not yet clear whether the genesis of the outbreak in the DRC was driven by sexual contact.
It’s not clear. Pishaw! Your report states, “The researchers are concerned that the ‘highly mobile’ population of Kamituga could be the perfect breeding ground for the new virus. Miners and sex workers frequently travel to and from the town for work from neighboring countries like Rwanda and Burundi.”
Sexual transmission continues to be the catalyst for pandemic success, but there’s another that hasn’t come up, and I’m not even sure if we’ve mentioned it. Neither MPOX nor sex-fueled Pride festivals were new in 2022, yet there’d been no heavily reported “outbreaks” of Monkey Pox in any community, let alone that of gay men. What changed? At least two things.
- COVID elevated the profit and control potential of pandemic awareness and treatment (another vaxx).
- COVID Vaccine spike proteins had become the jihadi recruitment nexus for the domestic terror war on individual immune systems.
Booster uptake has declined precipitously, so I’d be surprised if the Pharma stormtroopers aren’t pouring Mpox marketing dollars into LGBT spaces pushing those Jabs in preparation for Party Season, but that doesn’t help children in the Congo who get if from more common forms of close contact and are more likely to die from the disease.
The latest outbreak centers around a gold mine and the local community. You’d think Pfizer et al. would be all over that.
