Are any of you cross at the attack on the Gay and Bi community that they are the spreaders of Monkeypox when there is ZERO evidence to say that is the case.
Science has lost all credibility. |

What percentage of people with monkeypox are gay or bisexual men ? |

I'm sorry, how has science lost credibility, when it's the media reporting it that are attacking these communities? |

Same question. Looks more like a case of news media and loud homophobes doing their thing. |

It has a long ass incubation period, I’d bet they trace it back to some gay club or LGBTQ event where unfortunate people got together from all over and got infected all
At once. All sweaty and close up on a dance floor kinda thing |

Its pretty simple to be honest.
Monkey pox is mostly passed on by close contact. Gay/bi people have close contact with other gay/bi men, so the infection gets passed on. They dont have much contact with straight men, so they dont pass it on to straight men.
If it had been a wrestler that had started this whole thing, we might be saying that monkeypox is being spread by wrestlers grappling with each other.
Or if it were circulating amongst young people, we would say it was being spread by young people.
I dont think anyone is saying its because of their sexuality... monkey pox just happens to be circulating in that population. |

exactly this. I haven’t seen any sensationalist “gay plague” headlines like with AIDS in the 80s.
But it’s a community at risk (not the only community, granted), so it makes sense to warn them. |

Exactly. One gay/bi man picked it up and unknowingly gave it to his gay/bi lovers, because *drum roll* that's who they had close contact with.

"I explained this to someone recently. If I had it and gave it to all my lovers would they be saying fat, middle aged, hetero women are spreading it.
Probably not."
Probably wouldn't sensationalise in newspapers as much... |

Well... Here we go again...
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-62279436
WHO declares highest alert over monkeypox. Nothing to see here we've heard for 6 weeks... Only...
And from UKHSA..
"It shows that as of 21 July 2022, there were 2,208 confirmed cases in the UK. Of these, 2,115 are in England.
UKHSA has also published its fourth technical briefing on the ongoing monkeypox outbreak today. The briefing is based on figures from 20 July 2022. So far, the evidence suggests that transmission continues to occur primarily within interconnected sexual networks. Currently we are not seeing significant levels of transmission outside of these networks, but we continue to monitor for changes." |
