CITIZEN_2015 Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 Like 2 two and a half years of covid and lockdowns was not bad enough now they are talking about a new damn virus of smallpox family. As of today some 112 Canadians mainly in Quebec infected. It is reported to have come from western Africa (like ebola was not enough) and it is mainly so far among gay men (like aids was not enough). Not sure about you but I am fed up hearing about new viruses and diseases. Did we have so many new viruses 50 years ago? I don't think so.

In the past, we got to enjoy the old fashioned deseases like pneumonia, blood poisoning, polio, yellow fever, bubonic plague, typhus, cholera, small pox and influenza.

Not sure about you but I am fed up hearing about new viruses and diseases. Did we have so many new viruses 50 years ago? I don't think so. All the hype about 112 people with monkeypox. I don't get that either. Both monkeypox and aids began in Africa. Monkeypox was discovered in the 1950's. In todays instant news environment, it is top news. I think we are just noticing it now. 50 years ago (in the 1970's?) or farther back? As for viruses, I think many of the ones we have today are mutants of the ones that existed for more than 50 years. There have been at least 10 world wide pandemics in the past 100 years. Here is a list of the worst but not all https://www.godigit.com/health-insurance/diseases/worst-pandemics-in-history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goddess Posted June 13 Report Share Posted June 13 People were losing their fear of dying from covid. Presto! Monkeypox will keep the fear going and the gullible - obedient. The jabs are destroying immune systems, be prepared for more "outbreaks" and "sudden deaths" of people under 40. Weird how, following the vax rollout - "sudden, unexplained death" is now the leading cause of death and you all just accept it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkman Posted Thursday at 04:46 AM Report Share Posted Thursday at 04:46 AM And just to put an exclamation point on it, here’s the hero of the left, proclaiming to us all that there will be a second pandemic! Come on lefties, all praise be to his name! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappBo Posted yesterday at 12:21 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 12:21 AM There are no treatments specifically for monkeypox virus infections. However, I read that antiviral drugs and vaccines developed to protect against smallpox may be used to prevent and treat these infections.
