• 0:05
  Hi, I'm Jay felon and you are listening to the slippery slope.
• 0:09
  So this morning while I'm watching the news, I heard
• 0:12
  broadcast on the ABC here in Australia that New York was
• 0:16
  declaring this emergency because of monkey pox.
• 0:20
  Now there are a few interesting things which I heard on the news
• 0:23
  one. I actually heard the doctor here
• 0:27
  in in Australia. Refer to monkeypox as a sexually
• 0:32
  transmitted disease. This is the first time.
• 0:35
  I've actually heard someone say that this is predominantly a
• 0:38
  sexually-transmitted. He actually used the phrase
• 0:41
  sexually transmitted disease, very interesting because they've
• 0:45
  always wanted to keep keep the focus off the fact that monkey
• 0:51
  pox is mainly spreading within the lgbtq community, especially
• 0:56
  what's the new phrase, they use men who have sex with other men.
• 1:00
  Because that some are different between the guy in the bisexual
• 1:03
  people. Apparently.
• 1:04
  So we have this area. Okay.
• 1:07
  And they've tried to keep the focus off that but now they're
• 1:10
  actually saying sexually transmitted disease.
• 1:13
  So this headline which comes out from CBS New York.
• 1:17
  It says New York City. Joined state in declaring Public
• 1:21
  Health Emergency to address spread of monkey pox pox monkey
• 1:26
  pox outbreak. So the Centers for Disease
• 1:29
  Control and prevention. Tension has confirmed that there
• 1:31
  are more than 5,000 cases of monkeypox across the us
• 1:36
  including about 1/4 in New York. So as reported on Monday leaders
• 1:41
  across the tri-state area scrambling to secure more
• 1:45
  vaccines while also reassuring people that the situation is
• 1:49
  under control. So with 1,300 confirmed cases of
• 1:53
  monkeypox in New York City and an estimated 150,000, New York
• 2:00
  is exposed. So the mayor Eric Adams of
• 2:03
  Monday, declared a state of emergency over the virus.
• 2:08
  Now, listen, listen to this next section, very carefully by
• 2:13
  declaring a state of emergency over the virus.
• 2:16
  This allows me Eric Adams to suspend local laws and enact
• 2:23
  rules as necessary to protect the well-being and health of All
• 2:29
  City. Residents.
• 2:31
  That's right to protect for your health.
• 2:35
  For your well-being, I'm going to enact these rules.
• 2:39
  I'm going to suspend local laws, we're going to have curfews, you
• 2:42
  have to be in bed. You have to be at home by 8:00,
• 2:44
  tucked up in bed, by 10:00. It's for your health.
• 2:47
  For your well-being. I'm doing this for your, for
• 2:50
  your good, for the greater, good of the people.
• 2:52
  I am going to enact these rules on your life, but it's for the
• 2:57
  greater good. It's for your good.
• 3:00
  Haven't we heard that before? I'll be in saying that this is
• 3:03
  where things are going to go further.
• 3:04
  Along in this article, it says, Westchester County, vaccines are
• 3:09
  available by appointment, only on Mondays and when that
• 3:12
  Wednesdays at the White Plains clinic.
• 3:16
  So monkey pox is front and center, said, County Executive
• 3:19
  George Latimer. Monkeypox has grown in its
• 3:23
  presence. In Westchester County.
• 3:26
  We now have 40 confirmed cases. Also, Judy trillo has said the
• 3:34
  count is providing Monday and Wednesday while we're providing
• 3:37
  Thursday. So wherever you can get the
• 3:40
  vaccine, get the vaccine said, Judy, who is from the group, The
• 3:45
  Loft which is an LGBT Center in White Plains.
• 3:50
  So vaccine, clinics have opened Monday in Connecticut with 33
• 3:55
  cases of the virus, have been confirmed when asked, if
• 3:59
  officials are doing Not to protect the population against
• 4:02
  monkey pox and make sure that everyone who needs to get.
• 4:05
  Vaccinated can David kill Nick president of the LGBT Network
• 4:12
  said the government is not doing enough right now and we need
• 4:15
  more vaccines immediately, isn't it?
• 4:18
  Strange everyone again wanting to get vaccinated so Advocates
• 4:23
  say it's not just making the shots available but being
• 4:27
  intentional about where they're available.
• 4:31
  We want the vaccines at the LGBT Center, kill Nick said right
• 4:36
  now, they're only offered at the mall and some hospitals.
• 4:40
  But with the stigma that exists around LGBT people in general,
• 4:46
  but around healthcare for us. People were saying, I don't want
• 4:51
  to go to the mall. I don't want to go next to
• 4:55
  Macy's to get my monkey Buckshot.
• 4:58
  When someone's going to look. You funny.
• 5:02
  Well, isn't that strange? So now like I said, now people
• 5:07
  are finally, the doctors are finally starting to use the
• 5:10
  phrase sexually transmitted disease.
• 5:14
  I've said it a few times. Now if you look at where this
• 5:18
  monkey pox is mainly stemmed from its come from these
• 5:22
  parties, actually I'll just say it straight, it's come from, it
• 5:25
  seems to have originated from some large orgies that have.
• 5:30
  Occurred after after our pride, parades one, the main one I
• 5:36
  believe was mainly in Spain, after a LGBT Pride Parade, there
• 5:43
  was some partying, their workers.
• 5:45
  There were stories of orgies for very large.
• 5:48
  Aw geez, what do you know people who attended these orgies ended
• 5:52
  up with monkey pox? It is a sexually transmitted
• 5:55
  disease. Just saying I'll continue on
• 5:58
  with a few other articles, okay. Also from from America this in
• 6:03
  CNBC, it says that California declares a state of emergency
• 6:08
  over monkey pox outbreak following New York and Illinois.
• 6:13
  So the the key points from here, it says that California's
• 6:17
  declaration comes after Illinois, declared a public
• 6:20
  health emergency earlier Monday, New York, declared a state
• 6:23
  disaster, emergency in response to the outbreak last Friday, the
• 6:27
  US has reported nearly 6,000 cases of monkeypox across 48
• 6:32
  states, Washington, DC, and Puerto Rico, according to the
• 6:37
  CDC, California, Illinois, and New York home to the nation's
• 6:43
  three largest cities have reported 47% of all confirmed
• 6:48
  monkeypox infections in the u.s. so California.
• 6:52
  Governor Gavin nuisance, I'm sorry.
• 6:55
  Newsom, he's declared a state of emergency over the rapidly
• 6:59
  spreading. Keep pox Outbreak on Monday, the
• 7:02
  3rd US state to do so. In a matter of days, Newsome
• 7:07
  said, the emergency declaration would, it'll help support the
• 7:10
  state's vaccination efforts demand for the vaccines has
• 7:15
  outstripped Supply as infections, rise staff at sexual
• 7:20
  health clinics and other sites have struggled to keep up with
• 7:24
  the influx of people seeking the shots California is mobilizing
• 7:29
  personnel. L from its Emergency Medical
• 7:31
  Services to help administer. The vaccines Newsome said the
• 7:35
  state is working across all levels of government to slow the
• 7:39
  spread through testing can contract tracing and community
• 7:44
  outreach. Some monkey pox is rarely fatal
• 7:47
  and no deaths have been reported in the u.s. so far but some
• 7:52
  patients suffer excruciating pain from the rash caused by the
• 7:57
  virus scientists and public health officials are Worried
• 8:00
  monkeypox could circulate permanently in the u.s. if the
• 8:04
  outbreak isn't contained. So the World Health Organization
• 8:08
  declared monkeypox of global Health Emergency last month or
• 8:14
  the 19,000. Monkeypox cases have been
• 8:16
  reported in at least 78 countries.
• 8:19
  According to the World Health Organization data, the outbreak
• 8:25
  is unusual because the virus is spreading widely in North
• 8:29
  America and Europe. Europe, it's not that unusual.
• 8:32
  If you look at the activity of these people, anyway, in the
• 8:36
  past, monkeypox spread at low levels in West and central
• 8:40
  Africa where rodents and other animals carry the virus.
• 8:45
  Monkey pox is primarily transmitting through
• 8:49
  skin-to-skin contact during sex, gay and bisexual men are the
• 8:55
  highest risk of infection right now public health officials.
• 9:00
  I bet ninety-eight percent of patients Who provided
• 9:03
  demographic information due to clinics identified as men who
• 9:08
  have sex with men according to the CDC.
• 9:12
  But Health officials have repeatedly emphasized.
• 9:16
  Here it comes. Is the the downplay that anyone
• 9:20
  that anyone can catch monkeypox through physical contact with
• 9:24
  someone who has the rash that characterizes the disease or
• 9:28
  contaminated. Tools such as towels and bed
• 9:31
  sheets, see because because they've announced because
• 9:35
  they've declared this this emergency and it gives and it
• 9:39
  gives them the power to suspend local laws and enact rules and
• 9:44
  to make declarations all for the health and the well-being, your
• 9:47
  health, your well-being. They really want to emphasize it
• 9:51
  that you can get it through other physical contact, and
• 9:54
  maybe you can get through other ways, and you're also
• 9:57
  susceptible to getting monkeypox.
• 9:59
  So, Maybe we should all get vaccinated.
• 10:03
  That's where I think it's going. These everyone's going to be
• 10:05
  forced to get vaccinated for the flipping monkey pox, so
• 10:10
  monkeypox can also spread through respiratory droplets
• 10:14
  when an infected person has lesions in their mouth, okay?
• 10:20
  But this requires prolonged face-to-face.
• 10:22
  Interaction. According to the CDC physical
• 10:26
  contact is the primary mode of transmission Health officials.
• 10:29
  Let's say, so you'd literally have to have cuts inside your
• 10:33
  mouth. Are you have to have prolonged
• 10:35
  face-to-face interaction and then respira Tory droplets,
• 10:38
  would have to go from that person's mouth to that person
• 10:43
  into your mouth and into the cuts inside your mouth, you got
• 10:46
  to wonder what's going on there that you, if you're going to get
• 10:49
  it, listen, we're heading the same route as what we did with
• 10:53
  covid-19. Clearing state of emergency
• 10:57
  giving giving governments, the ability to spend local laws and
• 11:02
  that crew rules, and, and behave in the best interest of the
• 11:07
  public in your best interest, they're suspending local laws
• 11:11
  and enacting rules to protect you to protect the health and
• 11:15
  the well-being of the ordinary citizen.
• 11:17
  That's why they're going to bring in vaccination for monkey
• 11:21
  pox, that's why they will start using.
• 11:25
  More Draconian measures on surveillance.
• 11:28
  We need to do it, we need to be tracking wherever you are, so we
• 11:31
  can track down the epicenter for monkey pox.
• 11:35
  So we can hold back the tide of monkey pox.
• 11:38
  This is where I believe the narrative will go greater
• 11:43
  control more rules and greater surveillance efforts on behalf
• 11:47
  of the government. That's my prediction.
• 11:50
  That's my opinion. Thank you for listening to the
• 11:52
  slippery slope.
