Oh oh.

“'What we are witnessing in Africa now is different from the global outbreak in 2022,' [Dr. Dimie Ogoina] said. While that outbreak was overwhelmingly focused in gay and bisexual men, mpox in Africa is now being spread via sexual transmission as well as through close contact among children, pregnant women and other vulnerable groups."

I remember when I caught flak for saying it was rife amongst the gays.

Alum once told me I was just disgusted by the pride parade because I was turned off by hygienic people.

There is a difference between the majority of people who got it were gay, and the majority of gay people got it.

Yeah, I know. Nowhere did I ever say the majority of gay people got it.  Not sure why some of you are offended by facts.

The thread was rife with discussion about the meaning of the word rife in the context of the MonkeyPox, that's for sure.

I said it was rife amongst the gays

Everyone including medical professionals and yourself agree that it was primarily amongst the gays

You now say I’m digging a hole

Good pivot.  Of course the monkeypox was affecting the gay community two years ago.  But it wasn't spreading in an unchecked or widespread manner (aka "rife amongst the gays") in the US, as you suggested.  When confronted with the facts, your response was "I was joking."  That's fine, but there is no need to exaggerate.

Xenophobia, religious bigotry, cultural chauvinism, and other forms of intolerance are rife among Republicans.

Good use of "rife" here, Nichi.

Semantics much? I was joking and also accurate. They’re not mutually exclusive concepts. It was disproportionately affecting the gay community, by a lot, which we can all acknowledge, and I used the word “rife” to describe it. It’s really not a stretch or an insult to your gay son.
