I believed it once but I won’t fall for it twice I’m sorry.. and you should stop post about this because that’s what they want.. continue to give attention to this and you’ll be getting a “pandemic” every year. Good luck!

I’m in a monogamous relationship and don’t talk to people unless I’m at work (where I’m required to wear a mask) so no 

 

[spree]

no.  I have a bf and don't engage in risky behavior.  But if i was single and on the apps I probably would cuz that **** looks gross.

[bad guy]

I have the smallpox vaccine as a child which works well enough so no

its literally the OLDEST vaccine in existence.

[Power love]

I’m tired of putting vaccines in my body. Is there any other choices?

[CrimsonX]

Is this the latest craze? No thanks. I swear these things only exist on social media.

You privileged fucks better get that vaccine and stop complaining about it Monkeypox is not joke.

My boyfriend and I are lowkey kinda nervous about catching it at the Chromatica Ball since we'll be in the pit where skin-to-skin contact is inevitable, but as I understand it, it's not easy to get the vaccine (in the US)?

girl me too. but my show is this saturday. at least u have time. 

[Kitty Kat]

I really want to be able to get it as soon as possible, but my country does not have them... I spoke about it with the site where I get tested and they said that they basically aren't any in the whole country unless if you have the virus. It's a disaster waiting to happen.

[Jude]

I'm not a messy oversexualized f** so no.

 

[mercurialworld]

I will be getting it when it is available near me. I think it is important to be as proactive as possible when it comes to our health and the health of those around us, especially when there is a new and potentially deadly disease like this one (that is currently hindering our community )

[izzyinsane]

As soon as it's available sure.

I'm not gay and it's in 95% of gay sex. I'm not getting it. 

First off, that’s not even true. 

 

Second off, even if it was, what about that other 5%? That could be you. Monkeypox can be gotten from physical contact from anyone of any kind, even just a handshake or pat on the back or accidentally touching someone in public. Monkeypox is also an airborne respiratory illness; if you are in the same space as someone who’s been infected, you can get it from particles in the air. 

 

There is no such thing as an illness that effects only the gay community. “It’s a gay disease, I don’t need to protect myself” is exactly what got thousands of heterosexual people killed from AIDS back in the 80s.

The MAGA energy of this. 

 

It isn’t fear mongering to alert the public of a serious illness spreading around the globe. This is not something specific to the time of COVID, pretty much every year for decades there has been a major illness or two that comes to the attention of the WHO and they put information out about it so the public can remain vigilant. 

 

Bird flu, swine flu, smallpox, COVID-19, sara, and more are all illnesses that have been subject to this and all but COVId-19 didn’t grow to kill millions. Why? Because the WHO brought attention to them and there were enough intelligent people in the world that made slight adjustments to their lives to combat it and go get vaccinated when it was available. 

 

Smallpox wasn’t  eradicated because people stoked conspiracy theories, it was eradicated because people listened and cared enough about themselves and others to protect themselves with a vaccine.

The chances are though that you’ve already a vaccine that is almost identical to the one for Monkeypox. The Monkeypox vaccine is a slight alteration to the smallpox vaccine, the first vaccine ever. It was created for smallpox in the 1700s and went on to eradicate smallpox entirely. 

 

Most people have the smallpox vaccine when they’re babies as part of our annual vaccinations. Why fear a vaccine that’s almost identical to one you’ve already taken and been just fine with?

At this point there’s really very little that we know about how this specific clade of virus is actually spreading outside of Africa. And there is much debate on the specific routes of transmission for this outbreak, but experts generally agree that just brushing up against or being in the vicinity of an infected individual probably carries little to no risk. Prolonged skin-to-skin or face-to-face contact is thought to be the main route of transmission at this point. However this could change as we learn more about this outbreak.
