There was a thread earlier about a homosexual man who contracted monkeypox, and it these gems in it:

"...When New York Pride festivities kicked off on 24 June, I was aware that monkeypox was an emerging issue – especially for gay men – but I was also under the impression that the number of cases in the city was relatively small. What I didn’t understand was how absolutely dismal testing capacity was: at that point, the city only had capacity to process ten tests a day..." (No brain. No self control. And he wants everyone to drop everything and get a vaccine (which he won't have to pay for-we have to pay for it-for a COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY PREVENTABLE DISEASE?)

"...I had sex with several guys over the weekend. Then a week later, on 1 July, I started feeling very fatigued. I had a high fever with chills and muscle aches, and my lymph nodes were so swollen they were protruding two inches out of my throat..." (Gee. He was "aware that monkeypox was an emerging issue – especially for gay men" yet...he went out and had sex with two men?)

"...First, I took a Covid self-test: negative. Then I started suspecting monkeypox. I texted a friend: I’m just sitting here waiting for the rash to start... (He began suspecting monkeypox? Gee. What made him suspicious? This self-professed expert on reproductive rights who didn't understand he shouldn't be having unprotected sex with other men?)

"...I’m a 39-year-old man from Sweden, living in Brooklyn and working in philanthropy. For the past decade, my work has primarily focused on sexual and reproductive health and rights, so I followed the outbreak from the very beginning. I had even tried to get vaccinated when New York City launched an initial vaccination drive on 23 June. But like the vast majority of other New Yorkers who tried to get an appointment, I had no luck... (So, he was "following the outbreak from the very beginning" yet...he went out and had sex with two other homosexual men? Really? Does this person even have a brain? And he expects the authorities to drop everything to get a vaccine out to homosexual men who refuse to abstain from unprotected sex during an STD outbreak?)

"...Two days after my symptoms began, the rash started as anorectal lesions – painful sores on my anus and rectum. Initially it was a stinging, itchy feeling. I wasn’t scared at this point. I was told that it would be mild, and I was a completely healthy individual with no underlying conditions..." (Well. I wouldn't say he is a "completely healthy individual" since he engages in unprotected homosexual sex during an STD outbreak-he is obviously mentally ill.)
