Experts worry monkeypox disinformation will harm LGBTQ+ community

Three months since the first case of monkeypox was reported in the U.S., disinformation and harmful stereotypes targeting gay and bisexual men – who are most likely to become infected – continue to run rampant, causing some to worry that the spread of the disease will further stigmatize and isolate an already-marginalized group.

Upwards of 7,000 cases of monkeypox have been reported in the U.S. since May, afflicting mostly men who have sex with men.

Thanks, but more you could have posted as an excerpt includes:

disinformation and harmful stereotypes targeting gay and bisexual men – who are most likely to become infected – continue to run rampant, causing some to worry that the spread of the disease will further stigmatize and isolate an already-marginalized group. Upwards of 7,000 cases of monkeypox have been reported in the U.S. since May, afflicting mostly men who have sex with men. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), while monkeypox does spread through close or skin-to-skin contact, it is not a sexually transmitted disease.

What disinformation? Aside from some few replies, the media does not say that this pox is only spread thru perversion. And yet if a consensual religious practice - lets say the Lord's supper - was shown to be responsible for 81% of new HIV cases aged 13 and older among men - - despite only representing approximately 4% of the male population - and 92% of new HIV among youth, and (historically) a greatly increased incidence of other infectious diseases and premature death, and despite decades of attempting to tame it into being "safe," plus treatment - at significant cost to tax payers - then it would be treated as the plague.

Instead "disinformation" means not stressing that this pox is not exclusive to perversion. And for those who deny monkeypox is a STD are such stats as these (posted here)

CDC estimates 1.7 million gay and bisexual men face highest risk from monkeypox - CNBC, AUG 4, 2022 2022[1]

While anyone can get monkeypox, the current outbreak is overwhelmingly affecting sexually active gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men. In fact, our recent study which looked at 528 monkeypox infections since the start of the outbreak found that 98% of these infections had occurred in this group. -The Conversation,August 2, 2022 [2]

Who Is Most Vulnerable To The Monkeypox Virus…The most susceptible group are men who have sex with men (MSM). AUG 5, 2022[3]

Monkeypox is on the rise in the LGBTQ community. Here's what to know - CNN July 19, 2022[4]

Monkeypox is hitting the gay community the hardest, state official says - Cape Cod Times, July 5, 2022[5]

Monkeypox very serious, but no reason for widespread alarm, White House doctor says…The vast majority of cases so far have been found among men who have sex with men, but health officials stress anybody can get it. CBS news, AUGUST 5, 2022[6]

About 99% of cases are among men, and at least 95% of those patients are men who have sex with other men, according to WHO official Rosamund Lewis. … "The critical piece is really focusing in on close, intimate personal contact, prolonged contact…," - CNBC

Of the 528 confirmed cases reviewed, 95% are believed to have transmitted during sex between men, according to a new paper in the New England Journal of Medicine. - NBC news, 6–22–22

Monkeypox is a gay thing — we must say it - The Washington blade.com/2022/08/0

Yet in seeking to "avoid the stigma" then as with available statistics which attest to male to male sexual contact was the mode of transmission in 93% of new HIV cases among male youth aged 13 to 24, and MSM accounted for 82% of diagnoses among males, one tactic is to malign those who cite such as “homophobic,” regardless of the actual moral and or medical motive for doing so, and inconsistent with the use of the term “phobic.” [7]

Actually, any sex that will likely gives you a disease - and send the impenitent Christ rejectors to Hell - is not safe. rather than deny the high risk, it should be admitted that MSM and fornication in general results in a great incidence of infectious diseases, and which is a result of rejection of what God ordained. Which is that God created male and female and only sexually joined them together in marriage = as the Lord Jesus Himself specified: Mt. 19:4–6.

But that all can be saved who will come to God in repentance and faith, and trust in the Divine Son of God sent by the Father as the Savior of the world. And who did everything Right, and then took responsibility for all we did Wrong, and paid the price for our forgiveness with His own sinless shed blood, dying for us. Thanks be to God.

You cannot improve on truth.

I know this is anathema to the "woke" faithful and that this advice is lost on the very people who would benefit from it the most...but there it is.

Actually, the men who have sex with men” appellation is good. It describes behavior, not intrinsic “born that way” nature or identity. I’m surprised the MSM don’t object.

The acronym is good, too, seeing as how there are so many MSM in the MSM. Gives me a little chuckle. Sorry, Anderson and Shep. Carry on, boys!

Truth is Disinformation.

Don’t have anal sex with gay homos and your chances of getting the gaypox drop 99.9999%.

Prove that statement wrong.

"afflicting mostly men who have sex with men"

So, will they have to change LGBTQ+ to LGBTQ+MWHSWM?

Tip for the queers: keep it in your pants and your zipper zipped up. You too can avoid monkeypox.

Betting the “experts” are already in contact with the social media and have gotten an agreement to monitor postings and to cancel “disinformation.”

"Monkeypox is not a sexually-transmitted disease"

They can quibble about the technical definition of an STD, but the fact that the major cause of the spread of the monkeypox in the US is through intimate sexual contact between men and other men. Moreover, actual STDs are much higher among gay and bisexual men than among the general population. This is due to the rampant promiscuity among gays, and probably also due to the nature of the sex acts they perform.
