Almost 90% of mpox-related deaths in the United States were among Black men, and nearly all had weakened immune systems, according to a new report from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

From May 2022 to March 2023, 30,235 people in the US were diagnosed with mpox, previously known as monkeypox. Thirty-eight deaths were linked to mpox; 36 of them were men, and 33 were Black men. The average age of those who died was 34.

Mpox spreads through close contact, and it can infect anyone. during the 2022 outbreak, infections were mostly among gay or bisexual men or other men who have sex with men.

A very redundant redundancy.

So this explains why the CDC changed it from money pox to mpox?

I must behind times on wordsmithing. Who are the “other men” in the “...among gay or bisexual men or other men who have sex with men”? Doesn’t a man having sex with a man make him gay or bisexual?

Monkeypox, like AIDS and a crap-ton of other horrible diseases, is spread by anal sex. Keep your banana out of someone else’s poop shooter. That’s all that needs to be done to prevent the spread. Or not. Risks are well known, so I don’t really care.

Before the freak-out, for that .01% of unfortunate victims who were infected by some homo without sex [like the poor souls who contracted AIDS through blood transfusions from infected homos], you have my sympathy and full support.

It also spreads to children and dogs that are in the bed with gay men.

Some black men call it having sex on the down low. Basically it is just sex without emotions so it means they are not gay.

From the very end of the CNN story:

More than 99% of the US monkeypox cases for which the CDC has information have involved male-to-male sexual contact.
