Biden Regime Readies to Declare Public Health Emergency Due to Monkeypox – HHS Sec Says “Concern Level is 10/10”

As Monkeypox cases continue to rise in the United States, totaling nearly 3,500 to date, the Biden Regime is readying to follow in the footsteps of the World Health Organization (WHO) and declare a public health emergency due to the ongoing outbreak of the shingles-like disease.

A declaration could come from Biden as soon as this week. All that’s holding things up is finding the right individuals to lead the charge. According to administration sources who spoke with CNN, the White House is actively searching for a coordinator to lead the national monkeypox taskforce.

As of now, it is unclear who is being considered for the job.

From CNN:

“Two sources familiar with the internal discussions told CNN that Biden officials are working on naming a coordinator, but they have not yet settled on an individual to help coordinate the federal government’s response to the outbreak.”

Naturally, as the Biden Regime uses the power of the executive branch to ram through another crisis, the public health propagandists are also hard at work peddling the fear porn. Biden’s Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra even shamelessly went on CNN on Tuesday to tell their brainwashed viewers that the sky is falling because of monkeypox.

The concern level is a “10” out of 10, Becerra claimed as he advocated for Biden to declare an emergency and pushed monkeypox vaccinations to the masses.

According to the HHS secretary, over 300,000 doses of the monkeypox vaccine have already been administered so far in the US.

From Becerra:

“We should absolutely be concerned – 100% – because we have not had monkeypox the way we have seen it now. We don’t want it to become a part of life… And, so, we have to stay ahead of it. And that’s what we have been trying to do since day one.

We have now increased the number of [monkeypox] vaccines available – as you mentioned we have about some ~3,000 cases [of monkeypox] that have been reported – and we have about 300,000+ vaccines that we have made available [administered already] throughout the country.”

Despite all of the doom and gloom, what the so-called ‘experts’ refuse to explain is that the monkeypox outbreak is almost entirely contained within the gay male community. A new peer-reviewed study that was published this week in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) found that a staggering 98% of all positive diagnoses of monkeypox across 16 different countries were among gay or bisexual men. 95% of those cases were directly linked to recent sexual activity.

From the NEJM study:

“We report 528 infections diagnosed between April 27 and June 24, 2022, at 43 sites in 16 countries. Overall, 98% of the persons with infection were gay or bisexual men, 75% were White, and 41% had human immunodeficiency virus infection; the median age was 38 years.

Transmission was suspected to have occurred through sexual activity in 95% of the persons with infection.”

Furthermore, the disease is nowhere near as communicable as the Covid-19 virus and is passed predominantly through bodily fluids, making the condition much more difficult to come across for the average individual.

Nevertheless, the Biden administration is ramping up the hysteria and is poised to demand what will likely be billions of dollars from congress in order to fight the latest public health emergency scheme. Just like the WHO, the fraudulent Biden Regime is not going to let a good (manufactured) crisis go to waste.

Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

Unfortunately for Americans, Biden has also recently extended the Public Health Emergency for Covid-19. Coincidentally, both moves happen to be just in time for the Midterm elections. Maybe renewing the restrictions and arbitrary mandates will help Biden and the Dems recover some of their currently cratering poll numbers that show a shellacking is on the way in November – or, just maybe, they are battening down the hatches in preparation for another repeat of 2020.

Either way – 0ne thing is for sure – two simultaneous public health emergencies in one election season is shaping up to be one hell of a circus.

Buckle up.
