i could definitely be wrong, i guess my only point is if i were a public health administrator and i had limited resources, id make it clear anyone could get it, but i would focus those resources among the people so far the most likely to get and spread the disease

In a vacuum, that sounds like a good idea.

However given the government response to AIDS, it can feel very much like blaming the gay community especially when coupled with the harmful stereotype of gay promiscuity. The fact that it's literally the same guy (Fauci) who "handled" the federal response to the AIDS epidemic doesn't help.

how are most cases transmitted tho, like to what community would you target with education and vaccines to slow the overall spread of the disease? i would imagine sexually active gay men. no one seems to be advocating mass producing smallpox vaccine and inoculating the general population. thats not the solution to every disease outbreak

whether it’s gay men or all sexually active people, you still don’t target education by saying “yall horny motherfuckers need to stop this” especially when you aren’t even sure if sexual transmission is the only way it’s happening. and I do want the smallpox vaccine cause our society has no other solution

There isn't a risk it's literally already happening. Children get this disease dude. It's a huge threat to their lives, they're the most likely to die to it. How do you think that combines with the "monkeypox is homovirus" narrative?

It's literally the AIDS playbook and that's a disease that is still a pandemic 4 loving decades later.



Edit:
Measles making a comeback. Neoliberals just the absolute worst at fighting disease. Just utter trash tier failures of human beings.

monkeypox is in no way an std, you get it from touch or from materials someone touched. it just happens that sex has lots of touching including in easy to get infected places so gay men are getting it first but it’s just a coincidence. soon it will ravage everyone and I hope that chairman xi hears our cries and saves us

I think it's Lions, they're most prone to being mindless pro-American imperialism idiots under a thin mask of woke troop poo poo. What a Hell of a Way to Die tends to just be boring woke troops.

Hell of a Way was fun at first because it was just francis and nate telling each other stories of stupid/funny poo poo they've done/seen in the US military

then i got annoyed with it once they started having terrible guests like dumb anarchists who spend the entire episode having multiple tangents complaining about tankies or nate's dumb friends from trashfuture
