Have you gotten your Monkeypox shot?

I honestly had forgotten about this , until I'd seen this video:



Me? No, no thanks.

That's monkey business

We got few doses here, but I'm almost sure it is exclusive to hospital personal who are giving care to infected people, maybe there are other risk groups taking this vaccine too, but by no means it's available to general population.

I don't fall into the demographic to catch this particular disease.

everyone can get it, duh.

 

[TraderPatTX]

everyone can get it, duh.

I'm confident I will never be exposed to it. You might, but that's your business.

 

[Dark_Ansem]

I'm confident I will never be exposed to it. You might, but that's your business.

With all your monkey business? Impossible.

Gotta admit, I do love that song.

I read that Viruela (smallpox) vaccines had 80%/72% effectiveness against Monkey Pox...

I guess this isn't that?

Which btw, got my smallpox vaccine in 1994

 

[The Catboy]

Probably will at the end of the month when I go to see my doctor. My immune system ain’t very good, so gotta keep up on my vaccine

 

[mrdude]

Chances of me getting this is ZERO as I don't have any friends or would ever socialise with the types of people that would be likely to get this virus (God certainly does work in mysterious ways), so no chance I will be getting this experimental vaccine, the same way I never got the experimental covid vaccine.

 

[LainaGabranth]

Yep. I don't have any reason to need it per se, but you never know. I work customer service, I'm not about to take chances. You never fuckin' know, man.

No. But Tbf I don’t plan on attending a gay orgy anytime soon so I think I’ll be fine

A. your being homophobic since straight people can get it (monkeypox is not exclusively a gay thing) through sex
B. you can get it from hugging friends or loved ones
C. You can get it from animals

 

[lolcatzuru]

95%+ of cases are in men, with the primary risk demographic being "men who have sex with men".
https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/monkeypox/response/2022/demographics.html

There is moderate risk for people who have multiple sexual partners, while spread in the general population is low.
https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/news-events/monkeypox-situation-update

So much like the concern with contaminated surface contact with COVID, contact spreading of Monkey Pox is very unlikely. So no a straight person in a monogamist relationship has almost no risk, and stating so isn't homophobic.

Right… I’d love to see the statistics on how many people have gotten it from hugging people. I’m guessing people aren’t typically hugging people with blistering boils on them lol. And I’m guessing there must’ve been like a handful of people that got it from animals if any. I’m guessing 99.9% of folks got it from gay sex? Let’s not beat around the bush

A gay person who is also in a monogamist relationship is also unlikely to catch it as well. That doesn't mean shouldn't get vaccinated if they feel the need to. There's no harm in getting the vaccine, even if you aren't under the demographic commonly associated with the virus.

You're reduced to calling people homophobic for pointing out science. And then got completely owned by the CDC's own website. Wow dude, you should really re-evaluate your life choices.

If you have next to zero chances of catching a disease that nobody dies from, what's the point of getting vaccinated?

Lol funny to assume I have ever gone outside and seen h*mxns. Ok but (somewhat) jokes aside, no lol
