I'm sure you've read RFK, Jr's book "The Real Anthony Fauci." This is all "Groundhog Day" stuff. Hype a faux pandemic and create the requisite fear and then do your thing - promote a vaccine or two, that won't work and that will kill and harm more people than it "saves."
I wonder if The Atlantic knows that one of the first reported outbreaks of monkeypox in the US was because of prairie dogs serving as reservoirs.
I think it's rather interesting how this monkeypox is playing out. I suppose it should remind people to be in-tune with their own bodies and know when things don't look right.
I think if the same recommendations of lockdowns happen, then we'll know what's really going on here. Quite frankly, the mask wearing thing is ridiculous. Of all things, monkeypox should be easy to contain even within a household unlike SARS-COV2. I think the idea of wearing masks around loved ones for fear of them having monkeypox just sounds like something that may have come from the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s.
Believe it or not the 2003 outbreak was the hook for the story.
They proceed from the fantastical presumption that an animal host has not appeared and then proceed to worry about the possibility of an animal host appearing.
Even for corporate media that's an impressive bit of illogic.
So they actually did argue that there have been prior animal reservoirs, only to pontificate on whether there may be a possibility of animal reservoirs? Wouldn't that 2003 outbreak already lead to the assumption that this is a likely possibility? Or maybe I'm missing something?
Poor us trying to make sense of the media I suppose.
It's not so much as they argued that there had been prior animal reservoirs as it is they stumbled right over it without understanding the significance.
When you look at the cases outside of Africa, the evidence strongly suggests there's an animal reservoir somewhere. Endemicity may not be the case in North America but it is almost certainly the case in Europe.
So Monkeypox is not PC. Will scientists, led by Tipper Gore, demand the record label change the title to Major Lance's 'Monkey Time'?
Fun with facts: Quebec has 171 confirmed cases or about 7% of the world's cases. Hmmm. Remember, if you accept that Canada is just about one of the most thoroughly corrupted countries (with Quebec as the supreme leader within its provincial ranks) in the West (as I do). you'd find that statistical anomaly strange. Just talking out loud.
One could make a compelling argument that there is positive correlation between the levels of COVID-19 inoculation and levels of political and government corruption within a country's government.
At a minimum, the corporate media is struggling to virtuously explain the concentration of monkeypox cases outside of Africa among gay and bisexual men. This is unfortunate, because the concentration is pronounced, and the reasons that might undergird that statistical reality would also shed considerable light on how the virus is being transmitted person-to-person.
This is also why we must not forget those 1500 "suspected" monkeypox cases in Africa. Within Africa, the best information we have indicates there the disease is still very much zoonotic--people are getting it from contact with infected animals, rather than infected people. That's a rather large disparity in disease presentation the WHO is sweeping under the rug.

Maybe Fauci is going back to his roots?

"what if monkeypox finds an animal host species in either North America or Europe which can act as a viral reservoir?"
Don't bugger Bob and don't bugger a bobcat, you'll be fine.
Actually, monkeypox seems to favor rodents for its animal hosts. Which makes gerbils rather than bobcats the likely monkeypox threat.
Oh god, who will keep Hollywood safe???
The irony of using "God" and "Hollywood safe" in the same sentence.....
