Mekong Posted May 21, 2022 Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 Even though LGBTQ Community are denying Monkeypox is a “Gay Disease”, most of cases are amongst Gay Men, and in UK Smallpox vaccine is being offered to Gay Community to begin with.

Mekong Posted May 21, 2022 Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 Even though MPX is prevalent amongst the Gay Community, it isn’t a Gay Infection per se, since it is not sexually transmitted / bodily fluids as per standard STD’s but passed on via skin contact.

Mekong Posted June 4, 2022 Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 Just found out I have already had my Monkeypox Vaccination and am about 85% protected. You see, my parents weren’t “anti vaxxers” and had me inoculated as a child, one of which, amongst many, was smallpox They stopped it in 1971 in the UK, so anyone 50+ from UK is probably vaccinated.

My Penis is hungry Posted June 4, 2022 Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 Yeah I was surprised to see that Smallpox vaccination is still around. I'm vaccinated, Interestingly my far younger wife is vaccinated they didn't stop in Thailand till quite a while after Oz Reminds me of the wonderful pro-vax cartoon during COVID. "Mummy whats that mark on your arm"? That's my smallpox vaccination so I didn't get smallpox "Why don't I have one mummy" Because vaccinations work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted June 4, 2022 Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 But given people with vaccination are over 50 more likely grandma not mummy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Penis is hungry Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 Wife is younger than 50 Last endemic case was about 45 years ago I think in Somalia, So Vaccination continued I'd expect for a while after, Wonderful what a vaccination can do. Interestingly the "Heard Immunity" idea is no longer viable, too many variants in Covid But if we had been able to do the mass vaccination early on we could have wiped it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
