POZ Poll: Do you think U.S. monkeypox cases will remain primarily among gay and bisexual men? August 2022

__Yes, monkeypox will remain primarily among men who have sex with men. __No, monkeypox will spread just as much among the general population. __I don’t know.

This poll needs help. HINT: Multiple voting is allowed.

You might as well ask if HIV/AIDS will remain primarily among gay and bisexual men?

After over 35 years, it has.

[rfp1234]

Well, I figured out why the MSM calls them MSM (men who have sex with men) instead of ‘gays’. I had forgotten about bisexuals.

[fwdude]

Nice going, FReepers!!! The poll jumped from 34% to 72% on MPV remaining among “gays.”

[Mount Athos]

No, because Fauci Gates and Schwab will do “gain of function research” on a variant to make it far more deadly and contagious.

Never let a crisis go to waste, also why not make your own crisis

Just watch out for tracking cookies. That website is for HIV positive people.

Understood. But a correct, that website is for homosexuals.

Pox Poz Poll? Pshaw...

[laplata]

It jumped up real fast. I only voted 5 times. Lol

[G Larry]

Hey, where's the rest of the question?

"__Yes, monkeypox will remain primarily among men who have sex with men, AND THE CHILDREN THEY MOLEST?"

[Chode]

[laplata]

I wondered about that. I’d never heard of it.

[airborne]

79% - Yes

[DannyTN]

Yeah "Primarily". But some innocents have already gotten it in the US. So how many non-gays have to catch it before we take action and quarantine and contact trace the sick?

The poll is worded badly. You have to choose between "primarily among homosexuals" or "Just as much among the general population". No in between.

Since there was no in between choice I voted for Just as much among the general population". Which actually could happen if the disease becomes endemic to the US rodent population.

[Mr. Blond]

Except when it spreads to kids...from gays.

[lizma2]

“endemic to the US rodent population.”

There was a Monkey pox outbreak here in 2010 mainly affecting prairie dogs.

[DannyTN]

"There was a Monkey pox outbreak here in 2010 mainly affecting prairie dogs."

I wasn't aware of that. So it just died out naturally? That is good news.

[yuleeyahoo]

If only they were allowed to marry they wouldn’t have to live like this. /s

[FarCenter]

Yes if it is primarily “catchers” getting it from “pitchers”.

I’m not sure whether that data is available.
