An outbreak of the monkeypox virus in North America and Europe is primarily spreading through sex among men with about 200 confirmed and suspected cases.
Gay and bisexual men are the first groups they noticed it in because those groups are already “at risk” and because of that they get screened for health issues more often.
This is complete bullshit. The queer community is literally doing the right thing by regularly visiting their healthcare providers and we’re still being scapegoated.
It's actually because of a superspreader event at a pride/music festival at the Canary islands, a Spanish territory. So nothing to do with actually being gay, it just happened to be the first big superspreader event.
What are the odds it's spreading like hell airborne and they're only focusing on sexual transmission because it's coincidentally primarily gay men affected?
Just a few paragraphs down and they admit it’s actually spread through close contact. Like, not even hugging tightly, but wearing the clothes of someone who’s had it. Good thing no one ever physically interacts with another person outside of sex.

Edit: from @VILenin further down the thread:
:agony-consuming:
The monkeypox symptoms from the CDC and WHO have been updated to include gential sores as well.
Could be both, no one knows at this point.
Basically nil. It's R value is apparently .59
Could you send me a source on that? I believe you, but also want to read it over. Sounds like I might not be going to my first pride this year...

The event was attended by over 80 000 people, talk about a superspreader...
Also sauna in the articles basically means a gay club/hook up area
Yeah, it's not the kind of sauna where you pour hot water on rocks.
