Public health officials are grappling with how far to go in advising gay men to alter their sexual behavior as the monkeypox virus spreads mostly through their social networks but is a threat to anyone. The World Health Organization chief specifically advised gay men to reduce their number of sexual partners, but other health officials, including the health commissioner in New York City, have warned that abstinence messages don’t work.(Snip)The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in recent days updated its guidance to say anyone—not just gay men—can limit their exposure to monkeypox by limiting sexual partners and avoiding “spaces like back rooms, saunas, sex clubs,

Now they will demand that all research facilities stop all other research on curing/treating diseases and find a cure for Monkeypox this year. If not, the researchers are discriminating against the mulitletter+- whatever group.

Are we going to shut down county every time a person gets a std? Monkey pox doesn’t come close to any one of these.

But there was no hesitation in shutting down churches, preventing you from buying vegetable seeds (Whitmer - MI), shutting down schools, small businesses not deemed "essential", etc for a viral respiratory illness that was NOT the Black Death.

It is estimated there were:
Nearly 68 million STIs on any given day in 2018 (prevalent STIs).
26 million newly acquired STIs in 2018 (incident STIs).
Nearly one in two incident STIs were acquired by people aged 15 to24 years old.
Nearly $16 billion in direct lifetime medical costs resulting from STIs acquired in 2018.

They continue to deny the truth; that this is another otherwise rare, obscure tropical disease that has been spread all over the globe by the filthy promiscuous sexual proclivities of male homosexuals.

Spend a few minutes looking at pictures from "Gay Pride" events in San Francisco where anything goes - public nudity, public homosexual sex acts with multiple partners. All of it going on under the watchful eyes of the SF Police with not a single person arrested for public indecency. That's why monkeypox is spreading like wildfire among the male homosexual communities around the world. Contrary to the pictures you see of lesions on arms, hands and legs, the primary areas of infection in the gay community is the genitals, hind end and to a lesser degree, the throat.

The people doing the advising would have to know all about gay sexual activity to be professionally qualified on what advice to give. Okay, the WHO is qualified. Barack Obama could not be reached to offer his advice.

USA is an LGBTQIA+ nation now; we fly the flag of our overlords on our embassies and teach it in our federally managed local public schools, and teach celebration of such to our armed forces. So why pussyfoot around the plain fact that many Gay men have prolific sex with whoever, wherever? That's a central component to the Gay lifestyle we all admire now.
