How Bayer Spread HIV Through Contaminated Blood Products Hemophilia is a class of incurable life-threatening genetic disorders chiefly characterized by the inability of the body to control blood clotting, thus resulting in uncontrollable bleeding. For individuals suffering from this disease, a damaged blood vessel due to external wounds or trauma could be life-threatening.

Wharfie, that's alarming. The woke doctor who wrote that article isn't even satisfied with the three month abstinence period for gay men donating blood. Yes, detection tools have advanced, and treatment for HIV has minimized its lethality. But HIV still remains incurable. There is no vaccine. If you're infected, you're gonna be stuck on a cocktail of drugs for the rest of your life, along with all of their side effects and complications. And of course, you're gonna have to be EXTRA careful about who you have sex with. Dr. Woke needs to weigh his virtue-signaling over "equity" with the real risks that HIV still presents to the public.

Check this out, Wharfie. Another woke doctor in New York City want the WHO to rename monkeypox: NYC asks WHO to rename monkeypox due to stigma (yahoo.com) Therefore, I write to urge you to act immediately on renaming the ‘monkeypox’ virus as the WHO stated they would do during a June 14th press briefing, over [five] weeks ago. NYC joins many public health experts and community leaders who have expressed their serious concern about continuing to exclusively use the term ‘monkeypox’ given the stigma it may engender, and the painful and racist history within which terminology like this is rooted for communities of color. I have no idea why the wokies think the name "monkeypox" is "racist." It was a name coined in the 1950's, and only because it was first discovered in monkeys. Yes, it was first discovered in Africa, but the disease isn't even named after anything specific to Africa, unlike the Spanish flu or what some are calling the "Wuhan virus." Of course, we can always rely on the wokies to turn everything into an issue of race. Tenchusatsu
