Sex between men, not skin contact, is fueling monkeypox, new research suggests
NBC ^ | Aug. 17, 2022 | Benjamin Ryan

Since the outset of the global monkeypox outbreak in May, public health and infectious disease experts have told the public that the virus is largely transmitting through skin-to-skin contact, in particular during sex between men.

Now, however, an expanding cadre of experts has come to believe that sex between men itself — both anal as well as oral intercourse — is likely the main driver of global monkeypox transmission. The skin contact that comes with sex, these experts say, is probably much less of a risk factor.

In recent weeks, a growing body of scientific evidence — including a trio of studies published in peer-reviewed journals, as well as reports from national, regional and global health authorities — has suggested that experts may have framed monkeypox’s typical transmission route precisely backward.

If you look at the study linked the study itself warns about assuming this is an “African disease” or “gay disease” and mentioned several heterosexual male patients. That said, an appalling number of cases studied visited sex on site locations, traveled abroad and/or had sex while high on meth or something else. Come on people. Have we learned nothing? So long as the woke culture preaches against individual responsibility for fear of coming across as “judging” we’ll see such outbreaks. Unfortunately it’s very difficult for gay men to find trust and monogamy in their relationships. It’s not valued and openly sneered upon by many as characteristic of the oppressive heteronormative hegemony.

The other men are ones who don’t identify. Either they’re trans or consider themselves poly or something else to reject the binary reality of male and female with three possible coupling pairs.

Wow. When the gays and pervs have lost NBC...’Normals’ should REJOICE!

However, there’s GOT to be some tie-in to the, ‘scientists’ needing gobs-o-cash to solve this problem. Because the rest of us are gay-bashers and just plain MEAN! ;)

I see a money-making ‘vaccine’ on the horizon...

If you think heterosexuals don’t actively hookup and participate in the app culture you’re well behind the times. Free love movement has done lasting damage to the culture that even HIV couldn’t stop and technology has only accelerated.

There’s already a vaccine. There’s just not a lot of it and it requires two doses. It also won’t totally prevent infection but can mitigate symptoms. Please keep up.

Omg, silly me. I thought only women have front holes. I guess I’d better get with the new language (is that like new math?).

Yes, when children come up with it, a very hard investigation into child rape needs to be conducted.

You’ll get the same kickback from the freaks though, that you get for blocking children from getting abortions without their parents knowledge.

Why does NBC insist on STIGMATIZING gays, by blaming them for this disease? It’s time they showed some TOLERANCE of alternative lifestyles.

(that’s what we need to do, hit them back the same way they keep hitting us)

Interesting how you’re so ‘on top’ of this. *SNORT*

How many heterosexual people do you know who have had 1000 different sex partners? A significant portion of homos exceed that number. There are very few women who have taken 1000 up their backside, as opposed to the local hairdresser literally everywhere. Heterosexual promiscuity is a different problem that homosexuality. We are not the same.

Factor A (sex between men) will not happen without
Factor B (skin contact).

Somebody is not thinking this thing through.
