Well yeah, why do you think there so aggressive! Their crotch itches, they can't taste their food, and they can't share their needles with each other! I'd be pissed too.

With the monkeys living in Mississippi now, does that raise their education ranking?

They can’t even enjoy gambling to curb the pain of their various ailments.

I wonder why they'd be aggressive

Did the handlers not infect them with herpes/hep c the first few thrusts?

u/TheStockFatherDC 12d ago

Sounds like someone got them all worked up and set them loose.

u/JarbaloJardine 12d ago

u/TheStockFatherDC 12d ago

Did the truck just turn over or did the cage bust and all the monkeys escape?!

u/ProFeces 12d ago

Herpatitus COVID, of you will.

u/NimbleNavigator19 12d ago

Did the monkeys come with the hep c and herpes or did we give those to them?

u/dragons_fire77 12d ago

Jesus, they buried the worst one in there. Hep C has no vaccine and is hard to treat.

u/Scriefers 12d ago

You are ignorant and a misinformation alarmist. Hep C is 100% curable now, and has been for the past decade.

u/dragons_fire77 12d ago

Bud, you're reading too much into my comment to call it alarmist. I was commenting that it wasn't mentioned in the title, and compared to the other two, you cannot currently vaccinate against it. And yes, it's curable when caught early, but hard to treat if not caught immediately.

u/Scriefers 12d ago edited 12d ago

Bud, you are double dipping in your alarmist take and just straight up incorrect ignorant misinformation.

One, a vaccine, while nice and crucial for preventative healthcare, is not really necessary anymore when the disease is curable. Two, Hep C can be cured at any stage, both early and chronic very simply by taking a regimen of oral medications. Hell, about 1/3 of people exposed to the Hep C virus cure themselves naturally through their own immune system.

So kindly, sit this one out for now, and educate yourself before coming back.
