i think that mpox has the biggest chance of being the next HIV/AIDS scare and holding that thought reminds of the conspiracy theorists of the 1980's who said that, that epidemic was manufactured for population control purposes.

i'm one of those conspiracy theorists now. lol

I thought Mpox is rather controllable right now as the smallpox vaccine works on it.

that's why i lol'ed. i know that thoughts like these are laughable; but they've become my gut reaction.

The sole advantage to being as old as dirt is having been vaccinated already.

Can't wait for the gay panic that fired up the last time mpox was in the news to start again...

Can't wait for Amerika to absolutely fuck up dealing with it either
