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 city’s 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 city’s 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 department’s 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.

I recalled it as “sleeping” when the reality of these tragic human possums is more akin to “passed out.”
Sticking penises inside rectums is not a good idea.
Imagine that, CDC numbers proving the coprophiliacs, aka gays, have an average lifespan of 42 years, is just too gay. Since homos can’t convince normal adults of all tha gay virtues, they must go after our children.
And the jokes could write themselves.
These diseases wouldn’t be spreading if gays were relatively monogamous like most straights.
Don't look at behavioral causation. Nope.
Can we vaccinate for obesity or lung cancer yet?
Reagan's fault! (that's the gaystapo's mantra on AIDS, never mind that a cure still has not been discovered).
The secular world can say what it wants about the Christian belief in monogamy and chastity. Wanna stop STDs? Stop the screwin around.
It’s time to leave that old tired joke by the wayside.
Gee. If only we could figure that out.....
Your posting was priceless!
The intentional stupidity on the part of the homo crowd & the liberal perverse bigots is just astounding! It's not politically correct to identify homosexual activity as the root cause, so therefore the NYT says with a very stupid look on their collective faces..."and nobody knows exactly why".
What idiots!
Here are two prime candidates, IMO!
“Human possums” indeed! Thanks for the link. This seems to come under the heading of what my husband and I call “Things You Never Thought of Before.”
I once worked for the City of Arlington, TX and had occasion to look back through their archives. One tidbit I ran across was that the two main causes of death for the year 1918 were the great flu (no surprise there), and being hit by a train. I never did figure out the train part. My surmise was that since roads were not very prevalent and not very good when they were there, people did a lot of walking on the convenient train tracks.
