Canada has confirmed its first 2 cases of monkeypox. Public Health Agency of Canada statement below. Previous story for context:

Dr. Mylene Drouin, Montreal's public health director, says the first suspected cases of monkeypox in the region were reported on May 12, tied mostly to men aged 30 to 55 who have had sexual relations with other men.

Earlier on Thursday, Montreal's top public health official urged people not to panic as her department investigated 17 cases of suspected monkeypox in the greater Montreal region. The virus is not sexually transmitted, Drouin explained, but is mainly spread "by close contact and [respiratory] droplets."

A section of skin tissue, harvested from a lesion on the skin of a monkey, that had been infected with monkeypox virus, is seen at 50X magnification on day four of rash development in 1968. The incubation period for monkeypox is between seven to 14 days, according to the doctor, but it can be as short as five days and as long as 21. A person is likely to be contagious one day before symptoms appear, he said.

"We [likely] have the western virus, which is less contagious. So I'm pretty much sure this is going to be a milder course of disease," said Pilarski. "But we cannot eliminate the possibility of serious complications."

Get your ratio up before the next round of manufactured consent.

The WHO fear machine at work. In 2003, the first monkeypox outbreak outside of Africa was in the US. Monkeypox has also been reported in travelers from Nigeria to Israel in 09/2018, to the UK in 09/2018, 12/2019, 05/2021 and 05/2022, to Singapore in 05/2019. Come'on guys.

This is a joke right? Don’t try to con us again!!

What next ffs 🤦

NEXT. Will be another run of swine flu The uncontrolable urge to fuck in the mud !!!!! Step up get your 4,5,6,7,8 JAB !!!!!! You will own nothing and be happy lololol wAKE. UP. TO. THE. TREACHERY !!!!!

ROFLOL....

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Covid convoy will now be licking doorknobs.

Here we go to more bullshit!

This is a joke right? Like you missed April 1!

The news media CBC has fear monger gossip disease

Do you think an African immigrant brought it to Canada?

People need to go and read up on Monkey Pox and understand that covid and monkey pox is not linked. Monkey Pox was first discovered in 1958 in Monkeys and then in 1970 in humans

UPDATE: Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Theresa Tam says health authorities are investigating a 'couple dozen' possible cases of monkeypox. The National Microbiology Lab is running tests on samples from Quebec and B.C.

GFY

DEFUND THE CBC

Stop w the fear. BS. Please stop 🛑

I have to admit that I have never heard of monkeypox and now it's spreading....

why don't you tell the truth about this disease and tell who is really getting it and how it is transmitting!

Yeah let's not do this

This virus isn’t new.. most of us are vaccinated for smallpox which gives us an 85% protection against monkey pox..my question is, why the hype all of a sudden? Why the sensationalism? Can we get a straight answer pls

Well isn't that just great. What's Tam saying about it ?

Better lock down. Maybe then we’ll save the inflation from running away on us.

Kick us while we’re down why don’t you🙄

IMHO: The inference of men with men was NOT necessary for 2022. Merely facts with no reference to their sexual partners would have been more appropriate and successful. If it is transmitted through close contact and sexual encounters - who the encounters are - is not relevant.

lol

maybe they should incinerate the 2 infected people and eradicate the virus... 🤣😂🤣

When you bring asians, south asians or africans, thats is what you get!

Where’s my monkey pox money 🙃👍😂

jessieanton_ Test ✅ Trace Isolate Vaccinate 3 more crucial steps to go, and we'll see if our pandemic response got more robust, or was utterly undermined (as I suspect it was). monkeypox

I for one welcome our new monkeypox overlords.

Expand the vaccine mandate to include monkeys

RosieBarton Do the 17 in Quebec not count?

In Septmeber of 2019, right before COVID-19, the FDA approved Jynneos, a vaccine against monkeypox, despite the fact that it was not considered to spread easily from human to human. Just saying... draw your own conclusions.

Oh no

I can’t wait to get my monkey pox vaccines then a booster for the donkey pox
