The federal Centers for Disease Control issued bizarre guidelines for sexual activities while infected with monkeypox, reports the New York Post:
Americans who think they might have been exposed to monkeypox should take precautions like masturbating 6 feet apart from their partner to prevent the spread of the virus, according to health officials. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention earlier this month issued a list of safe activities for sexually active patients to engage in. Among the recommendations are avoiding kissing and “having sex with your clothes on or covering areas where rash or sores are present.”
Patients and prospective patients are also advised to “wash your hands, fetish gear, sex toys and any fabrics” after having sex and “masturbate together at a distance of at least 6 feet, without touching each other and without touching any rash or sores.”
The odd guidance invoked New York City’s bizarre recommendation that sexually active people use “glory holes” during the coronavirus pandemic to prevent the spread of COVID-19….
The vast majority of the monkeypox cases in England were connected to sexually active gay men, health officials said last week.
There were 19 confirmed cases of the potentially serious virus in New York City, officials said Thursday.
Patients experience a flu-like illness and swelling of the lymph nodes before developing a rash on their face and body.
Health officials seem to have few practical suggestions about how to curb the spread of monkeypox. To divert attention from their failure to keep the disease from spreading, health officials are talking about renaming the disease to be anti-racist.
World Health Organization (WHO) director-general Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at a press conference on June 14 that the WHO is working on renaming the monkeypox virus after scientists accused the name and its variants of being racist.
Last week, a group of woke scientists released a paper arguing that the names of the primary two variants of monkeypox, the “West African” clade and the “Congo Basin” clade, are racist and should be renamed with numerical identifiers. Tedros said that the variants, the disease caused by monkeypox and the virus itself will all be renamed.
“WHO is also working with partners and experts from around the world on changing the name of monkeypox virus, its clades and the disease it causes,” he said.
Monkeypox is generally found in the rainforests of central Africa, but has recently spread to some places in the West. The virus is named monkeypox because it was first discovered circulating among primates, before it spread to people in the 1970’s.
“Given the increasingly rapid communication of, and attention to, the international human MPXV outbreak, it is important to consider an appropriate, non-discriminatory, and non-stigmatizing nomenclature and classification of MPXV clades,” claimed the woke scientists.
In addition to a stigmatizing name, some public health officials have warned that the outbreaks may lead to gays being stigmatized, because most of the outbreaks in the West have been tied to gay men.
