World Health Organization Claims Monkey Pox Spreads Via Sexual Contact
The World Health Organization is now one of the most sharply criticized organizations in the world…
A supranational organization, the W.H.O. was largely ineffective at combatting Covid-19, and it should come as no surprise that critics are weary of any information coming from the organization following the pandemic.
I share that sentiment; I also believe that this outbreak may have a synthetic or laboratory origin, but we do not know if this is the case at this time.
According to the latest reports, monkey pox is primarily spread via sexual contact, with some sources claiming that it is spreading primarily among gay men.
Here’s what we currently know:
Monkeypox cases are slowly ⬆️, likely because people don’t know they have it. The main human to human transmission is occurring during sexual contact.
Treat it like any other STD, if you have symptoms, see a doctor. For those that don’t, assess risk factors and take precautions.

“Many diseases can be spread through sexual contact. You could get a cough or a cold through sexual contact, but it doesn’t mean that it’s a sexually transmitted disease,” Andy Seale, who advises WHO on HIV, hepatitis, and other sexually transmitted diseases, or STDs. Seale said monkeypox isn’t considered an STD.
