NY POST: The Biden Administration declared a health emergency over the growing Monkeypox outbreak Thursday.

The declaration allows the federal government to amp up its response to the virus without the usual regulatory barriers.

“I want to make an announcement today that I will be declaring a public health emergency,” Secretary, Department of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra said in a call with reporters Thursday about the monkeypox outbreak.

“We’re prepared to take our response to the next level in addressing this virus.”

“We urge every American to take monkey pox seriously and to take responsibility and help us tackle this virus,” he continued.

The US is slated to declare a state of emergency as Monkey pox cases continue to rise.

  1. Yup, we have a major election coming up and right on cue another “plandemic” “shamdemic” or in other words another reason for lockdowns and remote voting.

  3. Why they don’t stop beat around and make it seems like its q sneeze and you get it.

    Its primarily in the gay and bi community, the man seggs with man thing and bi men spreading to females who can then pass it on. While a bunch of articles are saying its not but it is and also why they don’t point out that San Francisco is the hot spot right now and under a state of emergency….

    Y’all need to share the full story and stop this sugarcoat and bit by bit you feel that is making it look good

  4. I wonder if they’ll be a 15 days to stop the spread” closure of gay bathhouses and the like.

    Methinks not.
