Eric Feigl-Ding says the fall school year will need radically more safety mitigations because of monkeypox

As Twitchy reported recently, Eric Feigl-Ding is SO excited about another virus: monkeypox! His latest warning was that there has been evidence of airborne transmission of monkeypox, which gave him bad feelings of airborne denialism again. However, a study of 528 global cases found just 0.6 percent were from household transmission; 95 percent were likely transmitted via sex between men.

Feigl-Ding has never met a school he hasn’t wanted to shut down, and he thinks that the spread of monkeypox means the fall school year will need “racially” new safety mitigations.

New world record — More than 1,000 daily #monkeypox cases (7 days average). Those who said #MPXV would fizzle out soon are plain wrong. This fall school year will need radically new / more safety mitigations.

Or not.

Explain why are you concerned about a decease that is transmitted through sex mostly between gay men? What does schools have to do with it? https://t.co/ShxYHbDl8H

This self-important idiot says schools have to something "radically new" to prevent monkeypox spread.

In schools.

Schools.

Pretty sure as long as they don't condone kink fests or massive orgies with 15+ partners each schools will be just fine. https://t.co/vGtqCSiY2x

Step 1) Stop having sex with the infected.
Step 2) Wash your hands after going to the bathroom.

Problem solved.

Given how many adults I witness don't wash their hands after leaving a stall, and what my wife says about women, I can see the problem with #2.

But 1? People… https://t.co/IucNrbZQYC

Just like Covid, let's ignore populations most affected. Let's pretend everyone has exactly equal risk. Let the disease grifters push 'radical mitigation' on the population least affected. Mitigate bondage parties? Hell no, you bigot! Shut down the schools. 🤡🌎 https://t.co/djClFfdZEL

@DrEricDing is spreading panic about #Monkepox and cynically hints at school closures as if disadvantaged children did not lose enough learning opportunities already as a result of disastrous school closures advocated by self-appointed pandemic gurus like @DrEricDing himself. https://t.co/Vukf2JK2nH

If only we knew where more than 90% of the cases were coming from? Oh wait…we do, we just aren’t allowed to say.

It's super easy to avoid this.

Gee, I wonder how this could be stopped.

Hey, it’s “really important” that we don’t let this event allow us to propagate “homophobic” messaging. So San Francisco’s “beloved” leather fetish party can go on, but we might have to close schools?
