Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis recently blasted other governors for declaring monkeypox, which currently occurs in an overwhelming percentage of men engaging in homosexual activity, a public health emergency.
During his discussion of monkeypox emergency declarations, DeSantis stated:
“They’re going to abuse those emergency powers to restrict your freedom,” Desantis said. “I guarantee you that’s what will happen.”
Restricting freedoms appeals to the Biden administration, as it has officially declared monkeypox a national health emergency.
The Biden administration on Thursday declared the growing monkeypox outbreak a national health emergency, a rare designation signaling that the virus now represents a significant risk to Americans and setting in motion new measures aimed at containing the threat.The declaration by Xavier Becerra, President Biden’s health secretary, marks just the fifth such national emergency since 2001, and comes as the country remains in a state of emergency over the coronavirus pandemic. The World Health Organization declared a global health emergency over the outbreak late last month…..“We’re prepared to take our response to the next level in addressing this virus,” Mr. Becerra said, adding that “we urge every American to take monkeypox seriously, and to take responsibility to help us tackle this virus.”
The declaration is ostensibly a method to make more federal resources available to respond to the monkeypox outbreak.
The declaration could facilitate access to emergency funds, allow health agencies to collect more data about cases and vaccinations, accelerate vaccine distribution and make it easier for doctors to prescribe treatment.”We’re prepared to take our response to the next level in addressing this virus and we urge every American to take monkeypox seriously and to take responsibility to help us tackle this virus,” Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said in a Thursday briefing about the emergency declaration.
However, what would be most effective is for the media and government officials to clearly state that the country’s monkeypox strain is being spread by homosexual activity. Stressing “two weeks of no sex” to stop the spread might be an excellent place to begin.
But when your administration is filled with trans activists who promote pediatric sex reassignment and a press unwilling to challenge officials, such recommendations would get as much support as ivermectin did for covid.
Fortunately for the infected, this strain appears to have a low infection fatality rate. Here’s hoping it doesn’t morph into anything deadlier. I sense that the Biden administration will be as successful in dealing with this virus as it has been with the coronavirus.
Meanwhile, the fentanyl crisis continues to be ignored.
