CDC On Monkeypox: Wash Your Fetish Gear!

CDC On Monkeypox: Wash Your Fetish Gear!

It’s time to have a serious discussion about the value of the Centers for Disease Control, the CDC. With an annual budget of $10.6 BILLION, no rolling-in-dough government agency lost the faith of many Americans faster than the CDC during the Covid pandemic.

From its unconstitutional decrees - rent moratoriums, mask and vaccine mandates, all struck down by the courts - to its bizarre public health recommendations, which, when implemented by obedient presidents and governors, closed schools, put nursing home residents in solitary confinement and ended normal family gatherings, the CDC is responsible for the massive learning losses by kids and a nationwide epidemic of suicides and mental health problems.

Americans who were infected with Covid were treated like lepers. They were told to stay home and once there, stay in their rooms. Alone. They were to have no contact with family members and isolate for at least 10 days. That recommendation applied to children, too. 

The agency heads have never apologized for the massive amount of disinformation they spread, or the damage they did to American kids, our social fabric and our economy.

Enough about Covid. Now we have a mini-epidemic spreading among mostly homosexual men: Monkeypox. So far there are about 114 cases in the country. But that’s how these things start, isn’t it?

What do the health experts have to say about this disease?

First, the World Health Organization plans to rename the disease because monkeys - which are found all over Asia - are somehow associated with Africa and hence, the name is racist.

It’s important to virtue signal even when lives are in danger.

Of course, the CDC had to get in on the action and what do you suppose officials there recommend to folks infected with this nasty, sometimes fatal disease that is characterized by large clusters of dripping pustules?

Initially, they went to their favorite punishment: Masks, of course. They suggested everyone mask up to avoid this disease that’s spread through skin-to-skin contact. Nationwide ridicule ensued and the morons at the CDC deleted that recommendation from their website within a day.

They then said that those infected with monkeypox refrain from sex - no mention of isolation - but for the super-horny monkeypox victims, who can’t control themselves no matter how sick they are, the CDC issued advice on how they could safely satisfy their urges.

If you’re infected or canoodling with someone who is, be sure to "wash your hands, fetish gear, sex toys and any fabrics (bedding, towels, clothing) after having sex," says the CDC. 

Hear that? Wash your fetish gear.

"Limit your number of partners to avoid opportunities for monkeypox to spread.”

Seriously? How about limit your partners to NONE?

Ideally, those with pustules will "avoid kissing" and "masturbate together at a distance of at least 6 feet, without touching each other and without touching any rash or sores," counsels the CDC.

I’m not touching that one.

If the infected must have sex, the CDC says, "consider having sex with your clothes on or covering areas where rash or sores are present, reducing as much skin-to-skin contact as possible."

These are the same heartless dopes who told you to throw your 5-year-old in a room by herself and shove food under her door for 10 days if she had a runny nose and tested positive for Covid.

Here’s a question for the CDC: Whatever happened to JUST SAY NO?

Why not issue stern warnings that anyone infected with monkeypox refrain from all sex acts until the pox clears? You know, sort of like the quarantine rules they slapped on us during Covid.

What this shows is an assumption - by the CDC, not me - that gay men are not like the rest of us. The CDC seems to think that they’re incapable of abstinence even when they’re infected with a disgusting, disfiguring and possible fatal disease.

I don’t share a similar low opinion of gay men. 

Then again, I’m not a public health expert.
