The head of Russia’s consumer protection watchdog said Monday that “traditional” values will help the country avoid an outbreak of the infectious viral disease mpox, which spreads through close physical and sexual contact.
The World Health Organization declared a global health emergency last week as mpox, also known as monkeypox, continued to spread in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and elsewhere in Africa. The agency notes that the disease “primarily affect[s] men who have sex with men.”
“Considering the peculiarities of the ways it spreads, I’m absolutely sure that [mpox] is not dangerous or scary as an epidemic in Russia with its traditional values,” Anna Popova, who heads Rospotrebnadzor, told the Telegram news channel shot.
A total of three monkeypox cases were detected “over the entire past period,” Popova said without specifying which time period she meant. “We didn’t allow any of it to spread.”
LGBTQ+ rights in Russia have come under pressure over the past decade as officials railed against what they called the antithesis of Russian “traditional” values.
Last year, Russia’s Supreme Court designated the so-called “international LGBT public movement” as “extremist,” a move that essentially places all LGBTQ+ Russians at risk of criminal prosecution.
Just like these traditional values prevented the spread of HIV in Russia, eh?
The thing I find most interesting is that the head of a “consumer protection watchdog” is making statements that should only be made by medical scientists… You know, virologists, doctors, etc?
In Russia, corporate whore puppet is also medical doctor!
its almost comical. i remember when the conservatives used god as their HIV shield until their secretly homosexual husbands brought it to them… then suddenly it was a ‘disease that affects everyone’
idiots
I too support traditional values in Russia
Specifically the traditional values of steppe nomads absolutely kicking Russia’s teeth in.
Yes, I’m aware it wasn’t called Russia at the time
Hordes of Steppe nomads armed with drones is a terrifying thought
Not to get too serious, but someone brought up the point regarding all these drone firework shows, usually in part created out of respect of veterans with PTSD. I really wonder if drone warfare will end up with the same effect. I really hope not, no one deserves that
At least predator drones killed you silently, definitely no PTSD from that!
The children of Afganistan fear blue skies, so we have that going for us!
Oh don’t worry we already have completely silent drone rotors, they’re just not manufactured on a large enough scale that Ukraine can easily get ahold of them.
FPV drones very much don’t. That’s a super distinct sound.
Given how much FSB and others love to torture men by anal rape, Russia should be at a high-risk alert.

Their traditional values of not giving a shit about the people?
There is scientific evidence of monkeypox spreading via aerosols, therefore claiming it’s a “gay disease” is a grave mistake. It’s the same mistake that was made with HIV.
Aha, but if the aerosols only come from gay butts, Russia stay safe and strong.
Do not Google “HIV/AIDS in Russia”, do not Google “HIV/AIDS in Russia”, do not Google “HIV/AIDS in Russia”…
Good news: since there are no gays in Russia (official government position), there is no HIV in Russia, since it’s only transmitted by the gay sex (official government position).
(Excuse me while I wash the fingers I used to type that)
Correct, use duckduckgo
For HIV/AIDS, you’re gonna wanna Bing it.
While speaking about traditional values, Anna hesitated several times while she stabbed random bystanders
Well i guess u cant die of disease if u get shot in a meat wave.
Traditional Russian values means that you’re simply left to die and go unreported until the collapse of the next dictatorship.
Your glorious death for the tsar.
Bro once it gets to elementary schools it’s joever, nothing can stop a pandemic after that.
Dude it would obviously only affect the elementary schools where they have gay sex.
They have Catholic schools in Russia?!
They have Russian Orthodox schools, which are basically the same thing but with taller hat and more beard.
And bleach cures covid, you fucking cunts.
Sufficient bleach makes any disease go away.
yes. the traditional values of the russian bathhouse.
Pretty sure they found an officer bunk with a gimp shit in there
Does it just stay in the suit? :(
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just like being hetero protects from HIV…riiight.
Popova be like: Dying is gay, as said by our ancestors.
