We need Mn to fill us in on The Monkeypox, n/k/a Mpox. It is supposed to be the next big thing since The COVID! There's no way we are ready for this! Thanks, Fauci!

Thank goodness it’s no longer known as monkeypox

What's it called? Custardpox?

It appears smallpox vaccination is effective against mpox.
Smallpox immunity is 95% the first 5 to 10 years. Long lasting but uncertain beyond that.
I wonder which GoF lab funded by American taxpayers created mpox 1b?

I know exactly why the wokeists renamed it—it’s because monkeys make them think of black people, which feeds their self-loathing, so then they think if they just change the name it’ll put some salve on their feelings. It’s fucking stupid and it’s the mantra and core value of you and your tribe. George Carlin rolling over in his grave at soft language and microaggressions. JFC maybe Golf was onto something with the soy boy shit.

Your grievance is duly noted.
And "woke", drink.

It doesn't even actually come from monkeys. It is primarily spread by rodents.

According to The HRC link I found, Custard was correct. You may want to apologize to Custard.

Where does that link say that Monkeypox was "rife" within the LGBTQ+ community two year ago?

What does rife mean?
The discussion was in the context of changing the name. It's actually spread by rodents. Not by monkeys.
That gay men are more at risk does not contradict that and does not means it is rife. It appears there were 32000 cases in the USA. Assume 90% were LGBT+. That is still not rife.
The Human Rights Campaign Foundation estimates that the US has at least 20 million LGBTQ+ adults. 0.144%

the current outbreak in the U.S. has high rates of known cases among gay and bisexual men and transgender and non-binary people,
Seems like it was rife, in context of those getting it. There is no date on the link though, but it currently is not a thing. Yet.

Well, if you want to run the risk because it is not "rife" despite the odds of those having The MonkeyPox being LGBTQ+, feel free to suck cock.

In May 2022, mpox infections surged worldwide, mostly affecting gay and bisexual men, due to the Clade 2b subclade.
-
90% of 3200 = 28,000
28,000 is 0.144% of 20,000,000. That is not rife.

What about of the people who have The MonkeyPox? Was the Human Rights Campaign engaging in scare tactics?
-
It was mostly in the gay community right around pride season. Also, it was a joke.

Nobody here is disputing that the LGBTQ population is most affected by the monkeypox outbreaks. And I think we are all glad that public health officials and interest groups are sounding the alarm.
But we largely don’t know the extent of the outbreaks among LGBTQ people. Except for the U.S. and Europe, few national agencies are disaggregating data to confirm the prevalence of monkeypox at the country level among the affected subpopulations, including statistics on gay, bisexual, or other men who have sex with men.
-
So the men that have sex with other men that aren’t gay or bisexual?

I don’t, they do. And apparently for some reason, they want people to know who they fuck. Like I don’t give two fucks but it’s the first thing they want people to know about them. Fucking weird!

As long as you check them before they go into a public restroom, you don't care?

Simple vaccination.

“'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

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.

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.
