A new, casually transmittable infection a unique strain of bacterial meningitis has cast a pall over the gay night life and dating scene, with men wondering whether this is AIDS, circa 1981, all over again. Seven men have died in New York City, about a third of diagnosed cases, since 2010. And in the last few months, the contagion seemed to be accelerating. It has targeted gay and bisexual men, and nobody knows exactly why.
The citys best hope to curb the outbreak is to vaccinate as many at-risk men as possible, focusing on those most in danger: men who regularly hook up with other men whom they meet at parties, bars, clubs and through apps like Grindr. Dr. Don Weiss, the director of surveillance for the citys Bureau of Communicable Disease, has called it Russian roulette sex, because sooner or later, you are going to come across this organism and be exposed.
The health departments own vaccination efforts at several gay bars have had limited success. Men out partying want to have fun, not be told that they may fall prey to a lethal disease by doing so.

Why the hell are we spending tax dollars and putting effort into trying to vaccinate against this?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Because innocent children and heterosexuals can get meningitis, too. !
I don’t have kids...but I do have 2 cats. Shall I ban him from them?
It is ALREADY in a school program near you. The pro-homo government school indoctrination is euphemistically called, “Anti-bullying” ( to fool stupid parents).
Fathers! Be the men that God intended you to be. REMOVE YOUR KID FROM YOU LOCAL SOCIALIST-ENTITLEMENT K-12 SCHOOL! ( Cleverly named, “public school” )
When you hear “public school”, think “public restroom”.
Very cute! :-)
Hm?....Thinking about this?....Well...yeah...probably! ( If you love your cats. )
Sitting here chuckling!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
So?...Do you want these guys and gals kissing and cuddling your kid? Your grandma? Teaching **YOUR** kid in his socialist-entitlement k-12 school?
Please remember that gays now have a strong foothold in the government's socialist-entitlement K-12 schools. Yes, **YOUR** kid's school.
Lol =)!!!
Sorry, just trying to make a horrible situation more torrible. I LOVE my little one.
He wrote me a “love letter” when he was 6 (he will be turning 24 this month). I have it hanging on my wall.
When he came out I told him he can be as gay as he wanted to be as long as he remained a virgin and didn’t fool around with any boys.
I THREATENED, if he EVER brought an older man home, I would kill the perv on the spot. We laughed, but he knew.
I have NO clue on what to do to save him.
“It has targeted gay and bisexual men, and nobody knows exactly why.”
Truly it is a mystery that we may never unravel.
“Epidemiologists are puzzled as to why the latest outbreak is attacking men but not women.”
Probably 1000s of research-hours will be the only way to get to the bottom of this problem.
I recall a story on FR about a park in NYC where a volunteer group goes in and cleans up 1000s of condoms every week. They must have never heard of ‘Paddles, an after-hours sex club in Chelsea.’

It sad to see love ones on a path that will lead to sure destruction.
It’s like watching a train wreck in slow motion. So sad. :-(
I didn't realize I shut down....arms crossed, lips pursed,mean attitude etc.
She saw me and tried making light of it. We spoke about it after.
its amazing that men who stick their things in the anus of many other men wonder why they’re getting sick.....
“Just leave them alone. The problem is self-solving.”
Yup. That’s why their population is always small ;)
“its amazing that men who stick their things in the anus of many other men wonder why theyre getting sick.....”
It’s not “amazing”, it’s natural...you know, the same homos who claim that being a fag is natural & normal.
And...No one should be surprised when these communicable diseases ( like TB and meningitis) infect the rest of us.
If they keep it in their pants they have nothing to worry about. Is the occasional muscle spasm really worth it?
I don't think most people understand just how horrible meningitis actually is.
I endured a viral version, and the consequences were severe and life altering.It's not like a bad case of the flu.
If homosexuals are specifically and knowingly mutating a new bacterial form, it will eventually cross over into the rest of the population.
God help us all!
Safe sex is safe sex. I find it abhorrent...but protection, you know, protects.
How many waiters, chefs, cooks, are gay?
Okay, I have to call “prank alert” here on your post ... the “sleeping in the middle of the road” thing made me curious, so I started googling ... and the only mention I can find of that is right here on this page! LOL!
Do you have a link for that stat of people dying from sleeping in the middle of the road? I sure would like to see it!
Bingo. I know at least two. Mind you, they’re already taking professional safeguards against food poisoning, so they do have that going. The spit-in-the-customer’s-food creeps in the fast food industry, not so much.
