Why Is Saying Monkeypox Is a Disease Primarily Suffered by the Homosexual Community a Problem?

Indeed it can be spread anywhere.

But I gather the key is “bodily fluids”. While some mention is made of “respiring”, it never seems to be the primary discussion point for the disease.

The problem with homo men is they use the bunghole, not meant for it, and easily torn by something big not meant to enter it backwards. You get tears, you get direct route into bloodstream.

That I believe is why homos are the problem now, and primarily. Doesn’t mean it won’t spread to others, via OTHER bodily fluids, or cuts and wounds elsewhere. But homo men “sex” basically guarantees those open wounds to let in virus.

Yuck!

But you are right.

The only “choice” these bastardized commies love are about killing, sex, and drug use. Note that abortion deals with both killing and sex.

Why not have all illicit sexual activity stop for a month and watch the disease disappear?

First, try enforcing that. Second, that's not the only way the disease is transmitted. Members of a household are at risk and should be vaccinated ASAP.

For the same reason that they mass-induced the fear that AIDS was a disease that anybody could get

Yep. The elderly ladies in my bridge club were all concerned about getting it until I pointed out that it was a homosexual men's disease and they could relax.

I realize that enforcing it is not practical.

It would have to be voluntary until everyone who is incubating it has let the disease run its course and nobody is infectious anymore.

Not going to happen. People are too selfish and “got their rights”, you know.

Anybody else remember Gaetan Dugas? The homosexual airline stewardess who had an estimated 2500 sex partners? And who continued having sex with as many men as possible after he learned he had AIDS?

The only thing that makes being homosexual worth all the down sides is getting all the homo sex you can.

The problem is any attempt to limit behavior that spreads the pox will be labeled discriminatory. The gays will claim they’re being singled out because of their sexual orientation. Past experience has shown us gays don’t just get a virus, they get a virus with civil rights.

Since there is a vaccine, it should be a simple matter to vaccinate the whole group plus close contacts. The Jynneos Smallpox vaccine is orders of magnitude safer than the old style Smallpox vaccine. It is safe to give to people with compromised immune systems and eczema, and is part of the US strategic vaccine stockpile. We need to pull out more from the stockpile and replenish the stockpile with more to at least double the size of the Jynneos component.

Monkey pox turns up in sub-Saharan Africa because people hunt monkeys for food there. Somebody handling raw meat from an infected monkey can get it.

In the US, we don’t typically have people handling raw money meat, so the other avenue of spreading becomes primary.

If you regularly have anal sex with one partner (and your partner does the same), you have a low probability of getting HIV, Aids, or Monkey Pox. If you have anal sex with dozens of partners, most of whom you never met before that night, the probability goes through the roof.

You might want to read up about how Monkey Pox is spread (hint...it’s not just anal sex).

RE: Anybody else remember Gaetan Dugas? The homosexual airline stewardess…

I’m so confused, are males in this airline profession also called STEWARDESS?

If you read more of my posts, you’d see I know that.

But direct transfer via bloodstream (open wound) is the worst. And seems to be more important than any other “maybe” transmission. Bodily fluids are emphasized vs., breathing, e.g.

They should be called stewards.

They were on the Titanic.

Which is why it’s so stupid to be upset about the word “stewardess”. All they have to do is call males “stewards”. Don’t get me going on all the stupid word shenanigans liberals have played on us not eh last40 years alone.

Dr. Michael Osterholm, the director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota said that, as of now, the outbreak is largely affecting a limited group of “highly sexually active gay men,” and added that many gay men are at low risk for contracting the virus.

We see in the United States that about 52% of gay men have between zero and 11 partners in their lifetime. But there, on the upper end of that scale, 10% that have more than 101, and about 1.9% that have more than 400 partners over a lifetime,” Osterholm said. “When you look at those risks, it’s much, much, much, much higher in that group that’s having a large number of partners.”

Osterholm said that a recent study found that nearly half of those who have tested positive for monkeypox have participated in group sex during the time that they likely became infected.

“We have to emphasize that. Why? Because we do have a major shortage of vaccines.

Read an entire thread? I thought that was against FR rules!

I’m surprised you haven’t accused me of advocating anal sex. Personally, I think it’s disgusting regardless of whether it’s gays or straights doing it.

But you did succeed in missing my main point entirely which you reflexively dismissed as “nonsense”.

I was referring to your implication that homos get monkeypox, period.

Yes, chances go up if you have multiple playmates, vs picking just one. Also goes up if you have homo relations vs some totally bland lifestyle. But monkeypox really is not just a homo disease. They just create great venues for catching it compared to others.

So yes, it’s definitely not just anal sex. You seemed to imply it was at first. It’s just some activities are riskier than others.

But it’s not highly transmissible from my reading. Not like COVID, to wit.

Except that sinners have to have their sin.
Try saying that in public and the hue and cry will echo from coast to coast.

Not saying your idea is bad, but there’s no way to enforce.
