I live in San Francisco and today is the first day we can get the monkey pox vaccine should I?

SF declares local health emergency over monkeypox (305) cases

There was 4 street full of people waiting to get vaccinated which is a lot of people. I’m just scared to get contacted from touching stuff 😑

[Jessica405]

It is probably a standard smallpox vaccine that has been used for years. Monkeypox is passed on by close contact, so it is not confined to gay people. Gay people are vulnerable only because they group together in close confines.

If there was an outbreak where I live, I would go for it. No good getting it bad and then cursing because you didn't take it up. Experience with Covid tells me to go for it.

Well that is completely up to you. As someone pointed out people got the COVID vaccine but still got COVID so doesn’t always mean it works.

As for people saying it’s only spread through homosexual men, well there’s more to it than just that. It can spread through direct contact, scabs, rashes or other bodily fluids. It’s also respiratory as well, so through face-to-face contact. Pregnant women can pass it to their unborn child through the placenta. It can also be contracted through touching items like linen or clothing that was used by a person infected w the virus.

I would not advise personally.

Health wise, there's no substitute for keeping a low body fat, eating well, keeping a healthy lifestyle, trying to stay mentally healthy and happy in spite of the barrage of psychological abuse, and moderating risky behaviour.

Wasn't that vaccine developed years ago? Also, I don't understand how this is spreading, although 305 cases hardly seems like an emergency for an infection that requires prolonged physical contact.

I'm in the city as well, and I'm not getting it. It just seems stupid. Who the hell else is sharing my clothes and linens? And I'm not having sex with random people, so...

[20yearsolder]

There are people that got the covid vaccine and a boosters and still got COVID. I'm not going to tell you what to do but I can tell you that I'm not getting it

[NewsReader]

I would not recommend any more vaccines. Especially mRNA vaccines. I think they mess up your body judging by how they work (or don't).

[RiseofArtemis]

Are you gay? If not then there is little reason to get it as it's mostly spread through gay people, that's at least the origin. Not Sure how its now.

[bean2k21]

I wouldn't unless I was planning on having sex with gay men. But apparently we only have 50 gays in North Carolina.

[BeMuse]

A smart person would not get it. That said you are from California so do whatever you want.

[BeMuse]

Here is their plan for their monkey pox attack which they published the year before they executed their plan. As can clearly be read on page 30, "The lab-modified strain is also engineered to be resistant to the smallpox vaccine". Thus it will give you no benefits and likely hurt you.

I'm starting to have mixed feelings about these lab made viruses. I'd sooner just leave San Fran

[RealDaveThomas]

As long as you have the small pox vacc. you should be ok

But, go ahead, and get the monkey one if you want

[nawtee_me]

monkey pox is passed on from men having sex with men, do you fall into that category? or have anything to do with those who do?

[Jamie05rhs]

Are you sexually active? Then yes. ESPECIALLY in San Francisco!

[Rangers]

No, you should move out of that horrible state

[Anonymous]

You sound like an antivaxxer.

[Asker]

I have my 2 dose of covid vaccine.

[Opinion Owner]

So why not do the right thing and get the monkeypox vaccine.

[joeldalton]

are you a gay man? If not, no.

[Jamie05rhs]

There are a lot of bisexual people in San Fran. It could spread easily and quickly.

[joeldalton]

@Jamie05rhs Not my monkeys, not my circus.

[Jamie05rhs]

@joeldalton Lol

[Libertycityguy]

I would to be safe.

[OddBeMe]

Couldnt hurt.

[Akelley_293]

Nope
