Sunday Uncensored: Ned Ryun & Lauren Southern: DeSantis Files Complaint Against Drag Show For Kids, Crew Talks Monkeypox And how it Spreads
Episode Recap
In this Timcast IRL episode, Tim Pool and co-host Ian Crossland engaged in a wide-ranging discussion about the 2022 monkeypox outbreak and its transmission patterns. The conversation began with a critique of mainstream media coverage, with Pool describing a Fox News appearance where he was immediately labeled a bigot for discussing monkeypox transmission data. The hosts broke down CDC and WHO statistics showing 95-98% of monkeypox cases occurring among men who have sex with men, quoting official NYC health department vaccine eligibility guidelines that specifically targeted gay and bisexual men. The discussion contrasted COVID lockdown messaging ('two weeks to stop the curve') with the WHO's more permissive advice about reducing sexual partners, mocking the inconsistent public health guidance. Pool drew historical parallels to the HIV/AIDS crisis of the 1980s, suggesting similar transmission dynamics among individuals with weakened immune systems engaged in high-frequency sexual activity. The conversation also touched on Canadian government COVID advice suggesting glory holes as safety measures, with Pool criticizing what he viewed as coddling certain communities while imposing harsh restrictions elsewhere. Throughout, the hosts emphasized that discussing transmission data was being labeled as bigoted rather than being treated as public health information.
