President Biden said the increasing spread of monkeypox, which has been detected in the United States and Europe, is something “to be concerned about.”
Biden was asked during a stop in South Korea on Sunday what his health advisers have been telling him about the disease that rarely spreads beyond Africa.
“They haven’t told me the level of exposure yet, but it is something that everybody should be concerned about,” he told reporters at Osan Air Base before boarding Air Force One for a flight to Japan.
“We’re working on it hard to figure out what we do and what vaccine, if any, may be available for it,” he continued. “But it is a concern in the sense that if it were to spread, it’s consequential.”
Jake Sullivan, the White House national security adviser, said the US is prepared and has a supply of “vaccine that is relevant to treating monkeypox.”
So here we go again with another vaccine epidemic!
Many are curious to how we are facing such an outbreak when it comes to a sexually transmitted disease. Discoveries have proven that it mainly spreads from man to man sexual contact.
“We have vaccine available to be deployed for that purpose,” Sullivan told reporters aboard the flight to Japan. He said the president continues to be updated regularly on any developments by his health team.
“I’ve been out on the road, giving him updates based on the written inputs we are getting from our health and medical team and, you know, walking through with him what the current state of play looks like and, as we learn about cases both in the United States and elsewhere, making sure that he’s tracking the picture,” Sullivan said.
According to the World Health Organization, there have been 92 confirmed cases of monkeypox worldwide, with another 28 suspected cases, as of Saturday.
A patient in New York City is being examined after testing positive for a family of viruses that monkeypox belongs to, but it is still unclear if the person is infected with the rare disease. Although the disease belongs to the same virus family as smallpox, its symptoms are milder. People usually recover within two to four weeks without needing to be hospitalized, but the disease occasionally is deadly.
The virus was first identified in monkeys and rarely spreads outside of Africa, which has made the latest rash of cases alarming to health officials.
Definitely to be concerned about around September, October, Elections coming up.
This current regime is causing a milieu of disasters in the U.S. It is possible that if there is enough contagious diseases by the time of the election, they may make a quarantine and require crooked unchecked paper ballots so they can make millions of phony ballots to win and keep their communistic repressive government to control the people and make the people miserable for good. The worst part is our government has supported a war in Ukraine against Russia which has caused too many innocent people to die, caused pollution of war and its necessary fossil fuels, and ruined their beautiful cities. Our president is more concerned about sticking his nose where it does not belong in other countries (using too much fossil fuels for his airplane trips and taxpayers financial contributions) to make more secretive financial business deals to benefit his personal greed rather than solve all the problems his policies helped created in the United States. This can lead to more potential wars, possibly with Poland /or China.
If that dipstick says we SHOULD be concerned about it then we probably SHOULDN’T
Watch for that other idiot faucet to try to lock down the whole country again. Biden is such a disaster it wouldn’t surprise me if he and faucet tried to do just that!
92 confirmed and 28 suspected?? There are more cases of terminal cancer confirmed daily. We need to focus on the diseases that are killing us. When will we get a vaccine for cancer, heart disease, stroke or diabetes?
Anything to bring in mandatory mail in voting right Joe. We can also keep the pole watchers far enough away to not see or check and ballots or registration lists. They can also come up with another water pipe break and after everyone leaves continue counting and bringing in new ballots after the time deadline. Or maybe kick all spotters out and cardboard up the windows. These are all the things that happened in 2020, so we could expect to see the same stuff happening again. Because of the failing past yr. for the Democrats they are still desperate to win, so the fraud will happen again. Look Man, Joe even admitted that the Democratic Party had the best voter system around. Take him for his word, that wasn’t Dementia talking.
Voter Fraud System, that one word makes a big difference.
