CDC Releases World’s Weirdest Vaccination Ad – Daily Caller

Just when you thought the modern world couldnt become more cartoonish, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Foundation released the most bizarre advertisement for Mpox vaccinations Tuesday.

For some reason, the CDC Foundation captioned their social media post containing the borderline seizure-inducing ad with the sentence family comes first, even though there is not a single thing about the subject matter that has anything to do with actual families. The entire production is centered on HBOs Dashaun Wesley who the CDC Foundation and apparently other people believe is the King of Vogue (thats Madonna and Ill die on this hill) and the fact he didnt get his second dose of the Mpox vaccine.

Originally called monkeypox, Mpox is a predominantly sexually transmitted disease that has spread mostly through men who have sex with other men. (RELATED: Mans Nose Rots After Monkeypox, Syphilis And HIV Infection)

And it seems that the CDC Foundation ad is specifically targeted to this demographic in a pretty stereotypical way. Personally, the gay men I know wouldnt be seen dead in the pants worn by Wesleys chosen family in the ad, but perhaps thats just a personal bias.

Despite having almost 150,000 followers, the CDC Foundations post received just 31 likes, even though they probably (hopefully) paid Wesley to appear in it to boost engagement. What a weirdo, wrote one user in the comments. Such an odd PSA.

The CDC lists Mpox as a potentially serious disease and is part of the smallpox family. Symptoms range from a rash and flu-like feeling that can last some two to four weeks. The available vaccinations for Mpox have a host of common side effects that all sound pretty similar to the flu.
